one year ago...

-i was an engaged woman
-i was balling my eyes out with all the goodbyes in China
-i was once again hit with culture shock with life in America
-i had no idea what selfie, foodie, totes, hashtag, etc meant
-i was planning a wedding
-i was pretty white and pasty
-i was jet lagged
-i was jodi poon
-i took pictures on a camera
-i never won a game at boggle
-i hated settlers of catan
-i had no idea i would be an auntie again so soon
and...
-i was skinnier

July 3, 2012 Samson and I (and our dear friend Ruthy) arrived back onto America soil and today marks our 1 year of being away from China after living there for a few years. It's crazy to think about all the changes that could happen in one year- settle or not- but He never changes. Change is hard, change is good, change is necessary... I'm not the same person I was a year ago for sure though I may look the same (minus the weight gain haha) and I hope that it's because He is growing me to be more like the person He wants me to be each day. Cheers to change and growing in Him!
