The second half of 2009 started with my “Road Trip Across America”. It was fun, scary, tiring, overwhelming and more! Then, I started a new job, went to Belize and got super homesick.

Weird Night
Last night was very weird. I woke up around 4am after having the worst dream that my brother was dead. It was so real I woke up with tears in my eyes. Thanks to the time difference and his late work schedule, I called him and he was still up. But, I do think I freaked him out a bit….

Is that a banana in your purse?
I am currently flying high above the clouds on my way back to MD. But, before I got on the plane airport security stopped me because of a suspicious item in my purse – a banana. I can only imagine what they thought it was, but Ben’s random comment of the day is: Ben: “Miss, I’m sorry but, you can’t…
