Strangled...one 'g' or two?

Well, I'm almost certain that people have given up even looking on my blog since I have been non existent on this thing for awhile...I would hope that you all understand though. You know, it being Christmas and all. I kind of think that hanging out is more important than blogging. Sorry to all those hardcores out there.

Even though I have been busy, I have been the kind of busy that I like. I haven't been this kind of busy in a while. I actually get to spend time with people just to spend time with them. Not that I always have an agenda, because I don't, but it often seems as if there is something that I need to be running off to and so I don't get the time that I like. I spent over 5 hours with my dear friend Lynnette. We never get to spend that kind of time together!!! So it's been awesome. I've also been staying at my parents, which has been quality seeing as how I will be gone for a month and a half and will not be able to see them. I don't think I realised how much my sister and brother hang out with the family...i live in Linden and don't really get to see them much. So, needless to say it's been awesome!

I can't believe I leave for Thailand in 8 days!!! Things are kind of coming together, and kind of not coming together. So I guess you could say that things really aren't all that together. Although this is all too entirely not real, I'm still kind of nervous/excited...really anticipating some amazing "God moments". So for those, I can't wait. More than anything it's the 'waiting until I go' stage that makes me the most nervous. Once I am on the plane and one my way, the nerves should dispel and plain, raw excitement should replace all anxiety.

So, many more emails to be sent, people to see, and food to eat. Peace.

The Good Days

So yesterday I forded my way through a snow storm, my shoulders more tense than a stretched rubber band, and made my way to the airport. It was there that I connected with two of the most brilliant people!! This couple is moving to Thailand in January to start learning the language, and will eventually move south to live on a small island. I am hoping to join them. We had the greatest/shortest visit, and yet I feel unbelievealbly connected to them. So, basically we will see where this all leads...if I am able to be a part of their team or not, and if I will be moving to Thailand in the near future.

THEN, I paid unspeakable amounts for airport parking and journeyed to one of my favorite stores...Best Buy (I know there are some of you out there that share this same love with me). I bought myself an Ipod!!!! Yup. I've joined the ranks of millions of others, and merely become a serial number on the back of that tiny machine, but I don't care. Have you seen what these things can do?!! I got the 30G video one, and I downloaded my music and photos to it last night. Man, is it hot!!!! Seriously! So, I apologize to all of you beforehand if I have my thumb spinning on a tiny click wheel, with white ear buds in my ears, and my eyes fixated on a tiny white screen. It's not that I don't love you...it's just that...well, you know...technology.
