we’re going back today to swim.  this place is beautiful!!  and the water must be 80 degrees!

2 week old rajah. can’t wait to visit and care for him in thailand soon! how can anyone think baby elephants are not cute?!?! he is the definition of sweet and adorable.

impressive.  yes.  indeed.

8th grade formal.

2 of my desires: 1. to be a volunteer baby hugger (i.e. nicu babies, etc.) 2. volunteer orphaned ele caregiver.

this non profit org is amazing. the baby elephant orphans are often “victims of poaching or man made cause for separation”. with the help of the many care givers (so the babies do not get attached to just one), these orphans are cared for until they can be returned to the wild. DSWT truly has their shit together; they have had huge success returning them to the wild.
