NOLA!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS OFFICIAL! yesterday i book my flight!!!i am headed to Birmingham, Alabama on a RED EYE Friday, June 10 {and crazies, don't get any ideas about trying to break into my house because i'm gone - there are 4 other girls that live there!} where my BEST FRIEND sara jessica linkouswill be waiting for me in baggage claim and we will IMMEDIATELY hit the road for NOLA...one of the most amazing cities on earth! i cannot WAIT to be at Cafe DuMonde eating beignets and sipping an iced cafe ole while looking out at the french quarter and dreaming of a yummy dinner on bourbon street. AHHHHHhhhhh be still my beating heart! AND to make the trip even sweeter, sara and i are going to staff a project with Hope Missions, an INCREDIBLE ministry that partners with churches across the nation and provides them with pre-packed mission opportunities. these trips are focused on sharing the love of Christ through ACTIONS and are hugely instrumental in transforming the hearts of students and revealing to them the true value of being a servant. could there be anything better than a week with my best friend, a dear friend from my very FIRST World Changers project {back when I was a summer missionary for the North American Mission Board} Shawn Doss {who just happens to be the creator and dedicated leader of Hope Missions} in the AMAZING city of New Orleans? I submit that there is not {unless of course SOMEHOW Pasadas ends up in New Orleans...THAT my friends would make it better!}
