On the Up and Up!

It's been awhile...but I haven't been in that funk that WHOLE time. Things are getting better...

I've decided that there's no use for me to sit and sulk about us not going to Peru. I was and still am really disappointed. I ache to see those kids again and to revisit the places I made memories the first time. But I know that the kids wouldn't be as excited as I think they should be and different people would be there and it just wouldn't be the same.

I got a text from Paul asking me if I wanted my name on the list for Dominican Republic. Ummmmm...um......SIGN ME UP! [........send] So, here I go! I'm on the list for the DR! I'm going to an ISLAND!!! Where they speak Spanish! I'll get another stamp in my passport!  And, I'll be traveling with some of the most amazing people ever. Some suggested I go to Peru by myself. But 3/4 of the trip I was looking forward to was the people I'd be going with. I love ministering with these people-Amy, Seth, Aaron, Paul, Lillian (oh I hope!)  Chris, and other people that I just can't remember. I wish the bros were goin'. That's kinda a bummer. A really big bummer.

I got my day off on Wed so Amy and I hit the city! We did a TON of things in one day. Check out the facebook page for pictures of us with famous (wax) people! I loved having her here. It's not fair that my sister lives so far away. She should probably come visit again. We had some great talks. Wish I wasn't so busy with work that we could have talked more. Sisters need gab time! Sisters need "dig deep into the heart" time. Didn't get deep enough in my opinion, but maybe next time... :-)

Spring Break is coming up soon! That makes ANY one feel like things are on the up and up! Erin and I might be heading to CANADA! (the Olympics inspired us!) Well, to Niagara Falls, Canadian style. If you ask any Canadian, Niagara Falls really isn't Canada.  We'll see what happens! It might just be all week at home, which is totally fine with me.

Back to life...and I gotta write an email.... ;-)
