Life Happened Upon Me

I don't write this as much for you as I do for me...I doubt anyone even comes here anymore so I could probably say whatever I wanted and no one would know...hehehe. But in some ways I guess I do want to put out a little post just so I can "say" I did it and be done with it.

Anyways, I am super pumped to go on my long awaited holiday! My Dad is finally able to fulfill his promise (that he made when I was in high school) and take our family to Hawaii!!! We leave next thursday February 1st and are back on February 16th. But really, I can't decide if I'm more excited to go to Hawaii or to see my brother, Robin, whom I haven't seen since July. In exactly one week I will be in a plane or in an airport waiting to board a plane. In one week and one day I will wake up to paradise! Warm sun, palm trees, coconuts, hula dancers, pina coladas (hehe - just joking), crowded beaches, ashfault and sky skrapers - bada dum! Ok so maybe not the same Hawaii that I encountered, but I'll try to make the best of it.

Weeeeeee, I really am excited. But I think I'm even more thrilled that Jesus has put me back on track. Life happened upon me as I let it happen and my world got turned upside down and inside out. I'm doing so much better. There is always room for improvement, but I'm glad that I'm not going on this holiday with the attitude that I just need to get out of here and take a break from everything. It's never a good idea to run...and I really prefer not to run, so I'm glad that the pieces are starting to fall back into place (new places definitely) but things are getting settled.

I should say that anyone who reads this will get a present. Haha... I think that it would make my shopping list very small for Hawaii.

Anyways, I did it, I deserve a gold star. Next time it probably won't take 9 months or whatever...but if you want to know about my life you gotta get together with me...end of story.
