Nothing Better.

So I am sitting in Megan's bed after church and we have been stalking peoples blogs all day. This got me thinking... I haven't written on my blog for a year and I think it is time I start up again. So I posted some pictures of Chile below and I will try and fill you in on the past year. Nothing too crazy has happened, just the usual school, work, traveling, boys. I have met some great friends that I know I will be friends with forever. Here are some pictures that have great memories attached to them, mostly of this summer.

So this summer I had the opportunity to go to vina del mar, Chile and study spanish. It was an amazing experience and such a beautiful place. I am so grateful I was able to live there for a short 6 weeks. Here are some pictures from my adventures...


Here is the view from my window at sunset. Such an amazing place!
