So, I have some exciting news. A week ago I was asked to consider going on a missions trip, up the north coast of Australia - on a medical ship! Basically, in 2 weeks I will be leaving on a 3 month journey of sailing through the Australian sea, stopping in 8 different cities, giving tours of the medical ship to kids and families, collecting spectacles for eye sight in Papua New Guneia, and sharing the exciting news of the Ship Tour! Exciting stuff, huh? I get very seasick though, so this will be a bit of an interesting endeavor. Pray that I will have good sea legs! As exciting as this is, it is also sad aswell, because I will be saying au revoir to Postcards From for a little while. There is only so many ways you can sport a life jacket in photos, and I wont get much time to spend on the blog, but I will do updates every now and then to tell you guys what I am up to. Anyway, just wanted to share in the excitement with you! This is going to be the journey of a lifetime, im terrified but I know its right. So here I go!
Tonight I am having a sleepover with my friend Katie, then Youth Street is tomorrow! I hope you guys have an amazing weekend....you should all make a key lime pie, and think of me! Im going to make another one - this time I will take a picture! :)
I love your sequin vest and how you paired it with your floral skirt! How exciting, that sounds like so much fun and a great experience! I would love to go to Australia, let alone on a boat :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel <3 You should come!!
ReplyDeleteanother great post! i just LOVE your blog & all your outfits!
ReplyDeletei´m jobhunting in the states at the moment... keep your fingers crossed i can leave freezing cold and boring germany very soon so i can live closer to my friends!
smooches form germany!
That sounds like an amazing trip. Doesn't something exciting give you that funny feeling in your gut? I hope you don't literally get that funny feeling though, no sea sickness! Maybe it's good that you won't be able to blog so much then; you can slow down and appreciate it all without worrying about updating, y'know?
ReplyDeleteI'm going on a trip in about two weeks too, so bon voyage to you, fellow traveler! :)
PS: I love sequins + floral. So cute.

ReplyDeleteYour trip sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. I really hope you enjoy it. I wonder how many photo's you'll take of an empty ocean. If your anything like me probably hundreds. I'm like that.
ReplyDeleteThe trip sounds like a fantastic opportunity, but I am going to miss your posts!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sequin vest, perfect amount of sequins to wear casually!

Oh my gosh, WHAT an opportunity. My husband and I want to do medical "missionary" work at some point, and I've told you before that Australia is our dream location. We almost tried to go this June, but alas finanace won't permit yet. Anyway, I know you'll have an awesome time, and we'll MISS you. We'll wait with baited breath for your updates :) SO much love!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such an amazing adventure! Make sure to get some sea bands or something, but the boat looks big and pretty stable. I really admire your courage and dedication to others.
Just a funny anecdote from my week: I got rejected from eHarmony. That's right, I'm matchless! I cried but now I think it's pretty darn funny ;]
