mmmbabies.

Hi guys! its been forever since ive last blogged, i know. I am officially the worst blogger ever. :)

So over the past few weeks in Child Development, we've been learning about how a baby grows tangled up in their mommys insides, and lemme just tell you, ITS AMAZING! I dont plan on having kids anytime soon but i cant get over how incredible those very first 9ish months are in every one of our lives. We move and feel and learn even at such a teeny size. Nerves build, bones form, blood flows, eyes open, tissue clumps, hearts pump as if the babys running a marathon. All before we even take our first breath. God is so cool! to think that he carefully placed every cell that makes up everything that is everyone ive ever met is, well it amazes me! Oh what love. :)

Mexico

Hey guys!

Happy 2010. :)
For News years this year i had the opportunity to go with my church youth group to Mexico for a missions trip. :) Lemme tell you... It was FANTASTIC! Literally lifechanging. Every aspect of awesome. We went for 4 days, did two outreaches, hung out on the beach, shot off a crapload of fireworks, went horseback riding, learned some spanish words, played soccer with some talented native kids, bus-surfed, attempted to catch seagulls will a box bread and rope, and got to spend some quality time with friends and, of course, God. :)

If we're friends on Facebook you can see pics there- theres too many to post them twice. :)
Heres a video though....
enjoy.
