Last Rodeo

FACT: I have LOTS of students to move in this weekend

FACT: I am planning,what is essentially, a camp for 650 people that will take place in 3 days

Those two things should have been enough to keep me locked in my apartment last night with my highlighters and post-it notes making sure that every detail was taken care of BUT that was not the case.

I dressed up like this....

And met up with these friends...

All to see the Last Rodeo....

Who could say no to a little Boot Scootin' Boogie?

And I am going to lose so much sleep this week, that there is no harm is starting a few days early!

Hola.

It was a early flight and I came back with some nasty bruises and I have one heck of a rash on my face

But I would go again..... in a heartbeat.

Honduras.

Where you can ride in the back of trucks

Where little girls love to smile for pictures.

Where rain doesn't stop the building of a home.

Where children grow up too fast

but carry the hope for the future.

Where the city seems to go on forever.

Where new friends are made.

Where homes are made into shelters for the homeless.

Where the children make you smile.

Where the homeless are fed.

Where you can't get close enough for pictures.

And where this woman showed me what the love of Christ looks likes.

Honduras.

Gifts.

I leave for Honduras in 4 1/2 hours on a mission trip.... yes, at 4:30 am.

My family, in true Kelly fashion, has showered me with gifts for my week journey. I am extremely blessed and it doesn't hurt that they have good taste. :)

Mom picked this out for me.

Kasey made this, with scriptures given by my family.

This last one is a inside joke between my sisters and I.... I am the not blessed one!

Filled with pictures of people I love

Tara, overnighted, from NC this cute journal with this beautiful quote.

And if you want to know what pretties i am wearing on the plan read here.

See you in a week!!

#1 It is shark week.
If I am not checking people out, checking people in, or packing for Honduras.... I will be watching Shark week! I am watching it right now..... HEAVEN!!!

#2 I was searching for the perfect fall camel colored boot. I, of course, went to Victoria Secret's website and found these.... Whoa flash back to the 90's but in purple.

Clogs are also back in.... good thing I still have some from American Eagle.

#3 If you only drive in the fast lane on the highway, that is rude.... don't do it.
Love me....
and the other people who are tailing you. :)

#4 Did you know that Westies is going out of business...
and has all North Face jackets 60% off. You can thank me later.

I made jam.

or maybe jelly..... I don't know the difference.

Start with these fresh strawberries.

Mush them up.... a lot.

Add soooooo much sugar and then don't tell anyone you give the jam to how much you put in there because they might as well just eat sugar out of a sugar bowl.
