A Little Catching Up To Do…

Well friends, it is time for a new adventure to begin.  It has been a long, but really good year since I’ve been in Egypt.  And, it’s obvious that I have neglected this site since then!  But hopefully with more international adventures that will change.

After graduating from Wheaton College this May with my degree in International Relations and a minor in Ministry, I moved back home to San Diego and moved back in with Mom and Dad.  It was the first summer I have spent home since Jr. High, what with working at summer camps and traveling the past 8 summers.  The summer was filled with good times with friends, soaking up the glories of San Diego life (surfing, diving, hiking, Jamul!) and enjoying unemployment.

I eventually got a job doing construction and learned a few things about building houses and working full time.  I spent part of every Wednesday and Sunday with our church’s High School group and got to know and love a bunch of the students, whom I am sad to leave.  And was also able to squeeze in an Arabic night class to keep the blood flowing in my brain a little.  This season in between school and Cairo has been a good one.  It ended tonight with one of my favorite people’s-Mandy’s-wedding with a guest list stacked with my closest friends and an overall very memorable night.

I’ll be waking up in under 6 hours for my 22 hour trip to Cairo.  I will miss San Diego and all of you, but stay tuned for “Adventures in Egypt”
