Week long trip to Florida to visit Denise = a really fun time!

Twenty-four hour ride back to New York = mostly uncomfortable and some fun.

 First day back at home = a three hour wait in the emergency room because of Alyssa's dislocated/fractured finger!

  I just finished my taxes!!

I'm leaving for the Philippines  in 15 some-odd hours!!!!

my little Libbers is turning 5 on the 19th. :)

My wonderful roomie Maghen is turning 21 on the 19th!

we got lots of snow last night.

They made me nurse for our trip...kinda scary

I will probably be packing till the early hours of the morning-which is normal

I'm glad Carla is back from Fl...never a dull moment. :)

I talked to Kristi for forever tonight..first time since graduation!

Talking to Kristi made me realize i will miss the campground this summer

I am excited about everything we will be doing in the Philippines!

I'm scared about everything we will be doing in the Philippines.

I know that God will use everything we will do in the Philippines.

Alright, just a few things that are running through my head right now. If you think of it, pray for all of us out on Missions Reality; we're leaving tomorrow and coming back on the 23rd. :) God is going to be doing alot of amazing things!

                 Wicked exciting spring break in 4 days!!!!

                 Happy New Year!!!

           Hello everyone.  I am extremely restless at the moment. It's a state of being I regularly find myself in whenever I have lots I should be doing...which results in me wandering around doing very random things and not getting whatever it is I should be doing, done! So, I was randomly going through letters and pictures and stuff, and I found one that Rebecca wrote me during 1st year.  It's about a dream that my other sister Kaleigh had...wanna hear it?? 

    

      Rebecca's intro:   "Kaleigh had this dream that we've all been getting a good laugh out of. Actually me, mom and Jamie were in tears just 20 minutes ago. I'm gunna try and write it down but it might not be very funny just reading it."

      The Dream:   " ...Ok so it starts out Kaleigh has diabetes and she was like low or something so mom told her to go in this ambulance.  There were a bunch of guys in there and they started driving.  They drove around for like an hour and got lost so Kaleigh hopped out and decided to go looking for all of us.  

     So she starts walking down this big dark alley and she hears this loud thumping behind her.  She turns around and there's a HUGE dinosaur running towards her!  She notices big cracks in the alley wall and she climbs in one and the dino passes.

    She continues on and it's about three days later she comes to a library.  And ( you know how dreams are) in the library you bounce from place to place. So she's hopping along and she sees Lissa.  She runs up to her and says;

"Alyssa!! I finally found you! Where is mom?!" 

 Alyssa stares at her and turns away.  Kaleigh kept asking and asking, "Where is mom?!" but Alyssa just ignores her.  Finally she walks away crying.  She then comes to a grocery store and inside she sees mom pushing a cart with all the rest of us around her. She runs in

"Mom!! Mom!!!"

Mom turns to her and says "Oh...hi Kaleigh..."

             I have no idea what it will be like for you reading this, but I was on the ground laughing so much I almost started crying. Then I had my mom read it, and I lost it again.  Sad, pathetic, but somehow so true. :) 

                                                       Family dynamics are great.
