With everything that has happened in my life in recent months, I am definitely in need of (and deserving IMHO) of a break. So, my mission trip to Guatemala next week is a welcome break/distraction.

I can’t believe it’s almost here. When I went last July, I promised them I would be coming back this year. I can’t wait to see the friends and fellow brothers/sisters in Christ I met last year… and to form new friendships and bonds that will extend beyond my time here on earth.

I have quite a few things to do in the next week (as team leader, I have to make sure everyone else gets their crap together).

I’m also sort of freaked out because last night when my team was packing up all our supplies/donations for the ministry, everyone basically said that once we get in the car to head to the airport next saturday, they will just do whatever I tell them to do. That’s a HUGE responsibility and I just pray I’m ready to be in charge of 2 13-year-olds, a 17-year-old, and 8 people who are 33-70 years old (including my dad!)

Although I still haven’t forgiven you for this.

My dad took these pictures of my brother, sister and I yesterday at Whitnall Park. There’s a few more but I’ll post them later. My dad still wants to do some photo editing, but I sort of stole these from his computer.

P.S. My brother, Andy is 24. Emily will be 22 next week.

I saw the dinner invite while watching pre-show coverage on the TV Guide channel. I didn’t think it was for real.

Not that I ever would have a chance with him, but still. I love him.

David, when you’re in the midwest this summer for the tour, I’ll be free. promise. Do you like fudge? My fudge is heaven. No seriously, it is. I have brought it into work and people stop by my desk the next day asking for more. One girl even told me she had a dream about it.

Thanks to Susie, I am no longer an online scrapbook store virgin. I’ve never bought papercraft supplies online before… I’m so much of a touch-and-feel sort of person and like to be able to hold my purchases (well, and be able to use them right away!)

But, while browsing through the links Susie sent me, I found that CreativeXpress was having a sale on Basic Grey products. And then I went nuts. Actually, nuts doesn’t really begin to describe what happened. Basic Grey is an addiction of mine. Yes, that’s right, I have a paper addiction. Seriously, if you saw how much paper I have you would probably laugh (unless you’re a fellow addict). I even save my scraps to reuse into making 100% recycled paper. I’ve only made paper once, but now I have a good amount of scraps so I might make some more this weekend.

Time is ticking down til I’ll be in Guatemala. I cannot wait to go back. Above is a picture of me with a little girl I absolutely adore. I hope she’s still with the ministry when I get there June 7.

I have both of these in both colors… thoughts? suggestions?

BTW, thanks holly!

I think I’m finally getting somewhere with a logo for this site and my designs.

LOL… I love vintage style and typewriter print so I’m trying to play around with some different colors, brushes, effects and the TypeVin font.

I am open to suggestions and ideas. seriously. I am having issues.
