6 weeks gone, 1 to go.

i am leaving. on a jet plane.
in the morning.

what??
i can't believe it. i feel like i have seen, experienced, and learned an incredible amount in the last six weeks.

culture shocks in nyc. culture shocks in spain.
falling in love with cities. and bridges. and heladerías.
learning so much about myself. what i want in life. where i want to be and what i want to do.

a new appreciation for things i take for granted -- fresh fruit, salads, family just a phone call away, air conditioning, clean air (meaning NOT walking through puffs of smoke on every single street), a gospel-oriented home.

man. it has been a grand experience. and now i am off to D.C. (after a bus ride, plane ride, overnight layover, plane ride, and one more bus ride) to visit with my beautiful sisters (jen and becky).

and then more exciting things when i head back to utah. it is a great summer indeed.

love love.
