Awesome times in Romania!

Well here I am in Romania!! I still have a hard time believing that I'm another country sometimes. It's such an awesome experience so far! And just to see the Zander's again is amazing and soo much fun! Aire and Ena crack me up, haha - spending time with them is a blast!
So far I especially loved going to the gypsy village that's right w/in walking distance of the house. All the kids run up to give you hugs, grab your hand and hold on to it the whole time your there. The ladies come out to give you a kiss on both cheeks and then they all stand around trying to communicate with you. The kids are so trusting and adorable you before they even know you! LOL .... there's no words to describe the feeling you have when you leave :)
Welll as most of you know we lost our luggage on the way here - thankfully we got it all back only a few days later. It didnt end up in any crazy country like South africa or anything!!! (Uh hum!!!)
Yesterday we climbed up a huge castle that was pretty neat!! Even tho we were completely exhausted from climbing so much. haha, I slept like a TON of hours last night ... hmmmm felt good!!!
Anyways, here's a few pics from my trip so far :)
Love ya'll!
And be good!!!!

Special prayer for my fam ....

Hey everyone, I have a special prayer requests for my mom and my family. Things are getting kind of stressful where we're living right now, and its getting really hard for my mom. Please please pray that something opens up for us. We don't need a place to live, but goodnight ... it would be sooooo great to have a semi - normal life back again. With our own house, our own family ... yeah, anyways. Please pray that we get a place of our own to live!
Here some pics from Friday in Niagara falls!!! We are having a great time w/ lyd ... life just wont be the same when she leaves :( I'm still thinking about kidnapping her lol! She looks like my sis right? lol Love ya'll .... be good now! ♥

We haven't seen her in almost five months, so you can only imagine how great it was to see her getting out of the car last week. Ahhh, there's no words to express how wonderful it is to see a long lost friend!!! And to hear the accent again ... man i missed it! There's just something about the south lol :)
Here are some pics of us just goofing off and having a great time! Yeahhh, I can be immature sometimes lol. (Are you in shock????!!! haha) It's still aloud, Im only 18 :) Lyd means a lot to us .... and we love having her here. The empty part in our life just seems filled when she's with us. love ya'll ♥ And as always .... be good.

Haha, just gotta love those teeth!!

Best buds ♥

And nooo Bre doesnt have anything to do w/ this post ....

But i couldnt resist!!! Isn't she a dollll?????

I'm such a lucky aunt!

I've given it up ....

Well Hey everyone!!
As some of ya'll know the past few weeks have been especially rough for me. I guess thats what happens when you think and worry about stuff too much!!! lol. You get to wondering "Why me God? Why is this happening? Why couldnt I be normal like everyone else? Why, why why??"
You end up feeling jealous of the people around you who seem to have "relitavely problem free lives" and wonder why life is soooo unfair. Yup .... of course their problems seem big to them but compared to mine, most of them seem pretty small. Soooo by then you are feeling slighted and hurt, worried and completely miserable!! Pretty pathetic huh??? Yup I agree.
Finally last night, I just sat down and gave it all up. Worrying and getting sick over my problems really isnt gonna change anything!! I mean honestly, its natural to be worried about something like this ... but I cant let it take over my life and make my future seem hopeless.
I dont have a clue what the future holds, or what will happen to me .. but somewhere I really need to start trusting God. Please pray for meee!! I can use all prayers you all wanna pray lol. Also can u please pray that'd we'd get our own house soon. I really want to take long showers, run around looking like a scarecrow and make a mess w/out feeling bad lol!!!
Love ya'll, thanks for all the support you've given my fam :)
