Oh What A Day

So I feel as though I owe everyone a wordy, rambling, thoughtful blogpost instead of just these random lists of birthday presents I want (though apparently you all liked that because I had more views on that post than I've ever had).

I just spent the last three months studying the bible in England and teaching English in Spain and stopping at every Starbucks in every city along the way. It has been an excellent, one …
