Arriving in Belfast after 6 hours over the Atlantic.

I arrived!! Belfast is as beautiful as I remember it :) A bit chillier, but just as green and peaceful.

I arrived about three weeks ago after a terrific flight. I was picked up by Kathryn, assistant minister, and her wee child Isabella. We drove straight to the county of Donegal for a staff retreat. It was beautiful (I will post pictures, once I go through them all). We stayed three lovely days together in the country with lots of food, laughter and prayer. A great beginning to this season. 

Here are the interns I will be living and working with this year:

Britton Hornberger 

He is from Pennsylvania and has worked at a Camp for the past few years. He obviously loves working with the youth! He has his own blog that he updates very frequently...he makes me look bad. http://brittishice.wordpress.com/

Matt & Mollie Reddin 

Our married couple from Arkansas. They are soo cute! Some of the members are bummed that they cant set them up with people here, lol. 

If you could please keep us in your prayers...we see each other a lot in and out of the house. I just hope that we can be encouraging to one another and honest as we learn to live together. 

Flying Out of Houston to Newark

As some of you know I was suppose to fly out to Belfast Sunday the 28th. Due to Hurricane Irene my flights were canceled!! It was so disappointing.

After many phone calls and attempts at rearranging my three flights, I re-booked my flights for a week later. Hurrah  everything should be dandy! No, wrong. I stayed up most of the night packing and slept two hours. My family and I rushed out the door to the airport. I checked my bags and had almost two hours to kill. I checked for my passport and I cant find it!! I almost started crying right there and then. How could this be happening, I never misplace that thing. After a lot of stressing, the lovely ladies at the desk told me to go and grab my passport. If I missed my flight I could just fly standby on the next flight as a preferred passenger (aka I would get a seat no matter what especially since my luggage was already sent through).

We drove all the way back home ate a quick breakfast and off to the airport once more. I made the flight and got aisles seats every time! New Jersey is a bit dreary, but I love spending time with my cousin. Looking forward to next leg of my trip...
