Not so random...

Alrighty...as promised, I am going to explain a little about where I'm going tomorrow. After school is out at noon, my aunt and uncle are picking me up and we are driving to Denver. On Wednesday morning, my cousin, his cousin, and I are flying out of DIA to Dulles in Washington, DC. There we will meet up with the rest of our team (from Oregon) and we will fly to St. Petersburg, Russia -- via Vienna. :) We are going to lose nine hours on the way there! When we get there on Thursday, we will begin our two weeks of ministry...because it is, after all, a Work and Witness trip. As far as we know, we will be working on a property that has been purchased for the pupose of a youth camp. We will also be visiting at least one orphanage and we will do some sightseeing as well. :) We arrive back in Denver on August 31st so I expect to be back in KC sometime Labor Day weekend. I will most likely not have internet access but I'll keep in touch as much as possible. For those that know my parents, you can contact them for updates while I'm gone as I'll probably be in touch with them the most. Otherwise, have a great two weeks and I'll talk to ya when I get back! God bless!!

My friends...

I have such funny friends. I would love to tell you all about all of them, but I don't have time. They are just so funny. They make me laugh. Sometimes they are funny without meaning to be, which is even funnier. Funny. That's another word that sounds weird when you say it a bunch of times. Anyway, I thank God for my friends, seriously. I don't know what I'd do without them. Certainly wouldn't laugh as much. That's for ding-dang sure. Hah. I love every single crazy one of them. And the married ones too....:D HAH! What is it they say? Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life, or something like that? I dunno, but for sure they are a necessity in my life! Thank God for my funny friends!

4 days...

In four days, I'm going to Russia. Wow. Hard to believe. I know that's not very random, but that's my life right now. Getting ready for school and getting ready for Russia. I'll miss the first three weeks (approximately) of school, which means I've got to have everything ready for my substitute. Kinda overwhelming. But I'm going to Russia via Denver, Washington D.C., and Vienna! So excited!!

Random

Have you noticed that when you say the word "random" often enough within a short amount of time, it starts to sound weird? Like, is it even a word? Random. So weird.
