We have been so blessed since we've been out here to find some amazing friends. We've had to get out of our comfort zone and get to know people since we'll be out here for 4 years. I still can't believe that we're almost to our halfway mark! It's funny how you meet all these people... become acquaintances with most of them... and find some true gems among them. People who you immediately connect with and become instant friends with. I've found some amazing women out here who I know I will keep in contact with for years and years. (I hope so anyway!)

This picture was taken last summer when all of us women were pregnant. I think there is a 2 month time-frame between all of our
due dates. I am so glad that I won't be pregnant this summer! Maybe I'll be a little bit more comfortable despite the heat! Those pregnant bellies add a good 10 degrees onto any hot day in my opinion.

I know when I am done here, I will look back on this time in my life as a time of huge growth for me emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty shy and introverted. I don't like to get out of my shell... I embarrass easily... I am sensitive... I'm just not a very outgoing person. Being out her without my family, I've had to break out of myself a little. When I've been home, my family has commented on how much I've changed. I'm enjoying the person that I'm becoming through my trials and experiences out here in Ohio. I hope to continue to become the person that I am truly supposed to be in this life. I have a long road ahead of me... but I'm so grateful for the friends I have made that help me on my way!
