Well, I am here! at least almost, we are all spending a week in Spain, then going to Africa. Its been really great to spend time with them, and see the kids again. They are such a blessing and have just loved on me like I was there big sister. I have been able to get a little vaction time in, and been blessed in alot of hours to spend with the Lord!
The jetlag!! oh i didnt know it could be so crazy. Sunday I couldnt really function, I felt like I should be in the middle of sleep but it was a bright and sunny afternoon! Its hard at times but I am blessed with internet acsess that goes in and out when it pleases. but I could have no internet.
If the kids havnt woken me up in the morning, the Birds will. :) It is really beautiful in Spain, and yes crazy when they win there world cup games. there is always much rejoicing to be heard for miles!
This all seems kinda gumbled, but thats probably cuz its around 6-630 in the morning. :)
I will try to update soon.

Soon and very soon!
Today is my last full day.
wow... it really hasn't hit me. lol. I have gotten everything pretty much set. This last week I have had so many good byes, its kinda numbing. My brother is now married! to my new amazing sister Shannon! I said good bye to them, and then my sisters Monday! Tuesday I went to pray and say good bye to PA! then went to say good bye to my grandmas :) that night the high school girls surprised me with a good bye party! I love you girls! then Wednesday I said good bye to the college group, I will miss you all! I have also said good bye to other people, cutters friends, and all the church staff! there is just alot to take in, I am so excited for this trip and to just see how it will all unfold.
Through all this there has just been some amazing support from two very Godly people. My Dad has just been there, comforted me and taken care of alot of the detaily thing I just am not good at doing. He is such an amazing Dad and I have no words that can describe how great he has been through all of this! My Mom... I don't even know really how to phrase it to make it perfect. But my mom is one of the most loving, caring, and humble people I know. She has done so much for me for this trip that cant be explained. She has made me clothes, taken care of supplies, gotten more things then i need haha but has just taken care of me so much! I am so grateful, even though i know with this stress I do not always show it. I love both of my parents so much, and we have for sure gone through alot this past year. I couldn't ask for any other parents and even through the really hard times they always point me to the one person I need to go to, God! Its been hard, but if they were not there it would be so much harder! Thank you!
And thank you all, it maybe a while till I can get Internet and update you all. lol the 7 followers i have now! woot woot! tell others they can look for updates here, I will not be able to write everything, and i would love it if you would not comment about names or locations and how I maybe doing at so and so place haha. I will try to keep this updated at best I can.
Blessings to all,

On the edge...
My sister Heather and I drove down to Portland today and arrived at our sisters home. This weekend we are getting ready for our brothers wedding! :) Yay! On the way we both talked about how we are feeling on the edge... right up there standing over a vast unknown. She is going off to camp right after the wedding and 5 days later... I am off. Right now I cant grasp it all, I feel (just like I said) that I am on the edge and soon I will take a step and its all going to go swishing past. haha after that the analogy dosnt really work. but you get the idea I hope.
Not much to say, just a random thought.

First Post Woot woot!
Hey everyone,
By the suggestion of many people I am going to be blogging along my journey as much as I can. To keep everyone updated on how I am doing and what all is going down. I'm not sure how this whole blog thing works, but it doesn't look all that hard. I'm going to be limited to what all I write on here, but I will try to let you all know as much as I can! :)
Those who are following or will be should know why I am going, I leave the 25th of June. 11days from today! I am very excited to see the Smiths and just finally be there. I have alot of packing I still need to do, but not to worried. I have my brothers wedding this Sunday thats going to be a good time to say good bye to most of my family! A bitter but mostly sweet day!
Well, I think that is all I have to say for now, thank you all for your prayers and encouragement even if its not direct to me. I am at ease about all of this :)
