One month

So... apparently I blinked my eyes, and a month has gone by.
It's insane how here...each day seems insanely long with many different pieces and responsibilities, but the weeks/months zoom by faster than I care to realize.
-This week the interns I've spent the past month getting to know are (mostly) all leaving, and being replaced by new interns.
-I feel like I'm finally getting to truly know some of the staff here on campus and in the places outside of campus that we serve. It's nice to walk into a home or homeless area and hear, "KELLI!!!!"
-This Back2Back staff is truly phenomenal. It's amazing how this community works and flows.
-My Spanish is (slightly) improving! Although to them I probably sound like a three year old with an incredibly small vocabulary... most of the time I can get my point across without having to pull someone else in to translate. Sometimes "the Americans" even ask ME to translate- which has been pretty exciting. (Trust me- it's nothing impressive... only simple phrases like, "How old are you?" and "Do you have any kids?")
-I feel like I have a cagillion stories to tell... and frankly it's a little overwhelming. So, for now... I just wanted to say I am alive... I am having a fantastic time, I miss you all to pieces, and I will be writing more now that I'm kinda in the swing of things.
It's incredibly overwhelming to have a blog like this, and try to explain everything that is happening... It's just too much to describe.
What I've decided to do is something the groups that come visit us each week do at the end of each day. I will attempt to do one every day, but we'll see how that goes. ;)
It's called your "Picture of the day." It's pretty self-explanitory. lol Basically, instead of trying to write out everything that happened each day, I will attempt to focus on one paticular event, child, circumstance, etc that happened and elaborate on it. Hopefully, this will be less intimidating and will encourage me to write more. :) Also, I hope to actually have a picture to go with my "Picture of the day." (How appropriate!) We'll see how well that goes. ;)
For now, I'm gonna hit the hay. I'm whooped!
Goodnight!
