I need to write a reflection post on 2011 and my trip to Haiti, but it’s going to take me a loooong time lol. I also still need to finish writing thank you cards @_@;

Anyways, now for my resolutions, in no particular order:

• Go back to Haiti this year with Habitat.
• Spend time practicing the keyboard/piano so I can serve in worship ministry.
• Make it a priority to have downtime for myself, for reflection, rest, prayer, whatever it may be.
• Make a lightwriting animation (and recruit some volunteers to spend hours drawing frames haha). Until the weather warms up, I need to experiment with techniques so I know how to do what I want to do and storyboard out ideas.
• Get back into photography (ties into downtime for myself) and spend more time walking around taking photos. Learn more. Restart projectstickies.
• Read more books. Read the Bible more!
• Cook more.
• Meet more people.

I guess this turned into more of a todo list, but still, I haven’t formally had resolutions in many years now. :)

Hope everyone has a blessed and awesome 2012!

hard to believe that earlier this morning we were in haiti sleeping in tents in 90% humidity (by my estimations) and working in 94+ degrees F weather… so surreal… we’ve been chilling in the Atlanta airport waiting for our respective flights… it’s good to be back in less humid weather haha, with toilet seat covers and automatic soap and water dispensers :P but it’s definitely a stark contrast to what we had over there and then what we had was also a huge disparity to what the Haitians have… pardon my grammar, wake up call was at 3am after an especially early workday start… quite exhausted haha

cant wait to shower and fall into my own bed :) at least i know what i need to do to prepare for Haiti next year… get some long sleeved wicking shirts so i don’t destroy my skin and somehow shield my face during the workday… duct tape and super glue and stuff sacks and carabiner clips came in really handy… also need to bring disposable contacts if i can :T

man, i love habitat and the type of people it draws :)

i can’t believe i’m starting my trek to Haiti tomorrow! i’m so excited, but now that it’s one day away, i’m nervous too haha… i don’t really know what to expect. it’s going to be unforgettable, that’s for sure :)

i hope that Tia gets better while I’m gone :( poor doggie is old (~15 years or so?) and I miss her. Haven’t seen her since June.
