I am one of the worst bloggers - if I even qualify as one. So much to tell, and so little follow through. Like Russia? Where did that even go. Today I put "BLOG" on my list, all caps, so gosh dang it I'm going to do it. Here we go.

Even though this was way back in February, it needs to be shared. Friends threw me a "100 Days to Graduation" party all the way over here in Lithuania, just like they do for us at Taylor. After some detective work, they made my favorite foods and wrote the sweetest, most encouraging notes. This is literally the only picture I have of that day. Guys, you're great.

Danica and donuts at a fair in Old Town, Klaipeda. We looked at lots of woodcarvings, knitted socks, dried fish, and jewelry. 

You already know where this is - St. Basil's in Moscow, Russia. Surreal experience standing in so much history. Our timing was incredible - the day after we left for St. Petersburg, Red Square filled with protests about the Ukraine/Crimea/Russia situation.

Probably my favorite picture of the whole Russia trip. In St. Petersburg, Russia standing inside of St. Isaac's Cathedral.

Today, we went to Nida where we explored sandy beaches, big big dunes, and red pine tree trails, making me ache for my Northwoods. Also, so thankful for Lori. What a gem.
