Hello! Though it has been quite some time since I last wrote in this little blog of mine, I have decided to continue my posting for this next life stage of mine. I hope you enjoy my updates, perhaps profound thoughts, or simple tidbits of information, sadness, joy, or contemplation I can muster out. I plan to share what is taking place in my life, providing a glimpse of what I am seeing and experiencing in this world.
As for a quick update - I apologize if some readers already know any of this information - I graduated from Linfield at the end of May with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a minor in Francophone African Studies. I am currently working two jobs at Linfield - assistant for the Linfield Center for the Northwest/ Professor Jeff Peterson's assistant and I am on the Linfield Paint Crew which is a part of the facilities team here on campus. Aside from painting or working on project proposals, grants, and scheduling items, I am living with two dear friends while attempting to connect with my other dear friends and family. Life's relationships demand quite a lot of energy but it is worth it when you are blessed to have the people I have in my life. I have also been, as a friend of mine would say, "working out my brain." I am reading books for pleasure, a pastime that has until recently, unfortunately been lacking in my life.
Oh, and do not let me forget to share the news! I am returning to Dakar, Senegal on September 4th. This is the main reason behind my intentions of writing on this blog of mine. I intend to narrate my journeys, share stories, and provide a voice to my experiences. It is a way for me to share and connect with others. I encourage comments and would love to hear from you. If you feel more comfortable sending me emails instead please do! Though with no pressure, connection and communication with you is warmly welcomed and needed.
In closing, I hope you enjoy my updates and photos. Below are a few pictures from graduation weekend.
Cheers,
Lacey

We are so cute! I love that you put the goofy picture of us first. I think you should post a cute picture of just the two of us as its own post! Can you imagine the glory!?!?!
