I am now officially in college. I am doing ok, but my parents left for Chile today. It is going to be a hard couple of months for me, if not a hard year. I am feeling very strong right now. Please pray for me and visit if you can! I would love to see people. Thank you to everyone that was able to hang out with me in the last few weeks. I love all of you!

So, I have finally completed high school and have joined my missions team for good. James and I traveled up north this morning and the team traveled into Antofagasta just after us. So we are finally all together again. I am excited to see everyone at CBLI and will need lots of hugs.

Some pictures from Senior Trip and Banquet.

Wendy and I in San Pedro.

All the seniors in "downtown" San Pedro.

The soccer field.

T.J. was my date. He went with the masquerade theme if you didn't notice.

Larissa, Susie, Me, and Sarah.

 Miss Bayne (one of my teachers) and me!

My friend Matt and I. He keeps trying to get me to dance and I keep saying no. So at the after party I actually danced when he was gone.

Some of the girls. Julia is in the front row. Isn't she cute! One of the eighth grade guys named Sebastian asked her!

So that was our banquet. We had some hilarious prophesies in which I ended up in Prague (inside joke) and was a back up dancer to Daddy Yankee. I was married to a guy named Julio that I had to use a translator to communicate with and we had nine kids. It was great.

Oh my goodness the desert was amazing! I had the best time. We spent the entire week nice and warm. We went sandsurfing in Death Valley, saw the sun set in the Valley of the Moon, went horseback riding through the desert, and biked to ancient Aztec ruins. It was wonderful! I was amazed that I was able to overcome some fears and have fun!

I love you all! Jac

I learned how to make pebre and will have to make some for everyone!

Kristi is married! I am so excited! I only wish I could have been there...

I am also excited that the stinkin' science fair is almost over. My class leaves for the desert on Sunday! It is a 24 hour trip so I am guessing that we are going to get really bored. But I know that we will have a good time, and hey, it is a week off of school! And then my missions team is coming! I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks, but I am also scared silly about ending high school.
