howdy,

for those of you thinking about writing a blog, I implore you to either a) get all your thoughts in a post at one time, or b) save, save, save. this is my 3rd time writing this post…but I am not a very motivated or focused person, so I keep leaving this page and have to start over. *screams internally*

anyways, I have been spending my summer trying (and failing) to teach young, spoiled rich children how to sail (if y’all are reading this, I love youuuuuuuuu though) and hanging out with my episcopalian youth group in the mountains of Tennessee. fun, right?

honestly though, I love spending my summers this way, and even if I don’t fully fit in to the naïve, sweet Christian girls here in Monteagle Sunday School Assembly, I absolutely adore the people and the community that flourishes here. I suggest you check them out: http://mssa1882.net they rent and sell cottages up in the mountains with authentic old homes and streets hidden away in the trees. sorry for the commercial rant, but I simply adore Monteagle.

Amish Hippie. a name that is as ironic as its location in the rural south.

"don't go chasin' waterfalls!" well I did. — “don’t go chasin’ waterfalls!” well I did.

just a photo of me with the love of my life aka daisy. dogs are EVERYWHERE in Monteagle

however. that is NOT WHY I AM HERE TODAY. noooooo today’s rant will be much much bigger. this post has been a long time coming, but I guess I’ve been too preoccupied to actually write it down. in an effort to protect my journey for posterity (or whoever happens across this blog and has made it this far through this trainwreck of a post) I should probably just come out and say:

I HAVE A CITY AND SCHOOL IN SPAIN!!!!!1!!!!1!!111!!!!!

yesiree that’s right. yo girl has a location!!!!

NEXT. YEAR. I. WILL. BE. LIVING. IN. SEVILLA.

*screams externally for the next 88 days*

for those of you who don’t know where that is, it’s in the southern part of Spain, about an hour from the coast and right above Africa.
