Whirlwind Summer

It's been a whirlwind summer...

I've taught at my first English Camp.

I hosted 5 visitors in the span of 4 weeks.

I traveled to/through 6 countries.

I swam in the Adriatic Sea.

I saw Auschwitz.

I have lost count of the number of times I walked across the Charles Bridge in the past month.

And now? Now, I'm gearing up for a week long church retreat and youth worship conference (two different events, but I go from one to the other). Oh, did I mention that it will all be in Czech? :)

Yes, it was a busy, whirlwind summer. But, what a blessed summer!! I was so grateful to have family and friends here, experiencing a bit of my world. What a gift! Thanks to each of you who came. I will always treasure our time together.

Here are a few pictures from the summer...enjoy!

Stacy's Wish List

Recently, I was encouraged to post a list of things that I enjoy and that would make good gifts if people wanted to send me a care package. Since I want to make sure to oblige all of you, here is my wish list. J 

*Please note that these are things that I like or things that I can't necessarily find here (at least for a decent price). They are also the things that come to mind, but I am grateful for whatever I receive. J Oh, and they are mostly food...what does that say about me?! 

In no particular order...

·                     Swedish Fish

·                     Mint Oreos

·                     Reese's Pieces (or Peanut Butter Cups)

·                     JIF Peanut Butter (creamy)

·                     Mountain Dew (come on, who's surprised at this one?!) J

·                     Twizzlers (Strawberry)

·                     Sour Patch Kids

·                     Land-O-Lakes Mint Hot Chocolate packets

·                     Nature Valley (or Giant brand) Peanut Butter granola bars (the regular, crunchy ones)

·                     Lonely Monk Coffee J

·                     Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate

·                     Trident gum (Spearmint flavored)

·                     Marshmallows

·                     Earrings

·                     Scarves

·                     Amazon or Itunes gift cards

·                     Blank notecards

Hopefully that will at least give you some ideas. J
