just a short note…
i’m missing my interns from last year. it’s weird being here without any of them. living alone (for the time being) and shopping by myself… it’s sad.
i miss you guys.

First off, I apologize for not getting more stuff out lately. It’s been kind of busy and kind of not at the same time. Regardless here’s a little something for today.
Football. Not my top sport to watch personally, but to be honest there really aren’t any sports that I really watch. I feel like I [...]

ROAD TRIP!
Michigan to Orlando (which was actually a flight) and then Orlando to Jacksonville and then Jacksonville to Chicago.
I am currently in Chicago hanging out with some Thrive Trippers (see here and here) for a little reunion with them staying at one of their houses. We’re going to try to enjoy the city as long [...]

One month from today… I’ll be on a plane back to the U. S. of A.
I’m excited for the most part. I can’t wait to see family and friends. I think out of everyone I miss my small groups kids the most. Most of them aren’t kids anymore but still. It’s going to be awesome [...]

Saturday we had to stay in our cabins or the living room because of a wild fire that was going on all weekend. It started out across the street and went miles across multiples properties. It did go away from our property fortunately [...]

We had a special treat for our kids at the Hope House orphanage this week.
Megan Irwin, a 2007 Twenty4Seven intern, had the kids in her heart and couldn’t not do something for them even though she is in the States. She knit 40 winter hats for the all the orphans. We go to Hope House [...]

Ok. So it’s been about 7 months on the base of Thrive Africa and today I got a new taste of the base. More of a smell than a taste.
I was given a random task today of getting some photos of Enoch, one of the Basotho staff, with the chicklets that we have. Really random [...]

So i had a chance to have a quick chat with RJ (the married man), Gabe (the married man’s bro), and Clayton. I believe the reception was just starting and they were each about to be introduced to the big table. But I just wanted to give RJ and Beth a quick congrats and I’m [...]
