just a couple thoughts...

just some randomness. i'm seeing the end of the trip in sight, and though it's been AMAZING and indescribable in some ways, i am excited to go home and see my family, especially knowing they're all on vacation together this week. but i'm realizing more and more how necessary this trip was for me...i needed change. i needed to be here to be broken by God again, but i'm also realizing how much passion i don't feel for God and it hurts me. i wish that i could feel Him and just long to praise Him. camps have made me so dependent on God which is amazing, but i still wish i could just love God with all of me.


after camp with Val Mez, Keith and i decided to take a trip back to pardubice to visit some friends. here are some pictures:






just as a disclaimer, i have shorts on under my skirt. from the left is Vera, Vojta, Keith, Vitek, me, and Helena. these are my good friends from pardubice, i'm so glad i could go there and just spend time with them.




they took us to the top of a hill where there's a castle and we hung out and watched the beautiful sunset. really...it was so gorgeous.












the next picture is at the same place of me and keith. i think it's such a cute picture and keith likes it because he "looks manly." and he doesn't look manly that often ;-)

and now, finally: the big change. last time i pierced my nose, here's a picture of it (if you can see it). i love the piercing! this time...i tried putting blonde streaks in my hair. Vera and Helena tried doing it, but it didn't work. apparently red hair is really hard to dye - Larissa told me when she gets highlights her hairdresser uses a special dye and leaves it in for longer. so here's a picture of me trying to get highlights:

and here's the nose!
