This is probably the saddest part of this post, but the rest will be pure joy. Two days ago, three people I went to high school with, got in a really bad car accident, two died, and one is still alive. I went to the funeral home last night, to pay my respects, and I realized how quick memories come back. On June 12, it'll make three years that Haddie has been gone. She got hit head on by a drunk driver, and I didn't understand why her. There really isn't an explanation for it, but I know God needed her more than we did. Last night, I was talking to old classmates, and I realized, that there isn't anything to say to make any of this better, it just takes a lot of time for healing. It is also hard to believe that three years ago, I was in there shoes. it's just hard watching someone else go through exactly what you went through, and them not understanding why. My prayers go out to the class of 2010.
Next thing, I have 71 days until I leave for El Salvador, from May 9th through the 19th. This will be my first mission trip, and I am super excited. We are doing fundraisers, and I am in the midst of writing letters for support. All I know is that the next 71 days are going to be chaotic, and full of excitement!!!
And the next thing, two days after I get back from El Salvador, I leave for staff training at Kids Across America. I am one out of 2200 that will be working there this summer. I will be working at K-2, for the second term, which is June 23rd through July 19th. And my job there is being a photographer, which is what I love doing, so technically it's not a job! I am so excited about all of the doors that God has opened, that have been full of opportunites! I truly am blessed.
I will be posting another update soon! Oh, and happy birthday mom!
Love, natalie.
