Hey Friends and Family!

You found me! You found Grace!
Welcome to my latest blog endeavor. 

As many of you know, I am in the process of a huge life-changing event! In just a few weeks I will be starting a DTS in Cimarron, Colorado. I will be studying and training with the so-well-known Youth With A Mission organization. This training will be a total of 3 months. After that I will be traveling with my team over seas for another 3 months. But dont worry, guys! I'll be home in February. 

Anyhoo, after sharing this with so many of you I was surprised (and feeling rather challenged) at the fact that so many of you asked me if I would be blogging while I was away. WHAT A GREAT IDEA! However, if any of you know me, I stink at blogging and can be quite a hermit sometimes so I will do my very best to keep you all updated with pictures and stories and especially financial progress. 

Read on if you must:

Here's a few interesting points I've learned about my time in CO...

• Cimarron, at least the Cimarron where I will be living, is actually considered New Mexico, believe it or not. (I dont know why they consider it CO but) It's right up there in the Rockies! It's a very private base. Like, in the middle of no where. I've Google Earth-ed it a few times and to be honest, I was just a bit scared! haha! Im from The Cities, man! Well, ya do what ya gotta do, eh?


• Cimarron, (pronounced SIM-ar-ron in English) in Spanish, (pronounced seem-ar-ROWN) means wild sheep. Urban Dictionary says: Although, if it's a person's name, it means "Wild One"....it can also be used to describe someone that has a VERY free spirit & cannot & will not be tamed by anyone; Free-Spirited....Also, someone who's completely different from everyone else; beyond the norm intellectually artistically, socially, and/or in mindset...A Cimarron can also be someone who moves from place to place freely and willingly, without being forced to do so, also considered a "Maverick"....also someone who fights back, mostly about what he/she believes in or thinks is right. HAHA!! I love that! Here's why: 

• I totally feel like KNOW THAT being a part of this DTS is going to impact the whole rest of my life. Being so high up on a mountain brings you physically closer to God, right? Like, duh, everyone who has a childhood knows that... I'll get to be right up in the face of the Creator of the universe. I want to learn how to be this wild, free, un-normal, Jesus-freak, cimarron... What better place is there but Cimarron, CO? This is also, of course, why I chose to name this blog Mountain Badger. 

Ok, Im done now.
