She Thinks She's Witty

I'm in Illinois now. It's not as cold as New Hampshire , but it was a rather chilly winter. Now the birds are singing, the sun is shinning, and life is grand! I'm living in a house with 5 other people and I'm working for the Church of the Brethren . I've been here for half a year, but I realized I never updated my blog with where I was. I'm doing this work through BVS (Brethren Volunteer Service) and it's a year long commitment to start. But who knows what will come next. I think I mentioned this all in an earlier post so I won't go into details, but know that I'm doing some great work, meeting some wonderful people, and learning a lot! Lollipops & Rainbows, Rachel

It takes forever but when you're done counting, it feels great to get them all off your hands! It also doesn't really feel like you paid anything at all because no one really counts pennies as a significant monetary unit. But they sure do all add up to something great if you let them!
