If you remember, Maris has been on a mission trip with her youth group, in DC, this week. They were not to use any 'devices' while there, but I insisted that she text me at the end of each day. I have anxiously waited each night to get my 'I'm safe, everything's good!' message. For those who don't know my Maris, there is no one I know who lives her life to the fullest, loving every second of it, more than she does 

This was last nights text:

{sorry about the grammatical errors, mom ;) }

That's my girl! I can.not.wait. to see the video and hear all of her stories!!

Today she is leaving DC, flying into Raleigh, and meeting up with the rest of her team for basketball camp at UNC.

I so love being her mom, but the worry never ends!

 Thanks for the reminder, Maris!! Love you!!
