~How is it that I am drinking two to three times the amount of water I used to and I am so much more thirsty now??
*I primed and painted my parents fence this weekend. It was a big job and it wasn't fun, but they helped me out on Sunday and we got the job done. Now I have spending money for Europe!!!
~I had a lunch today that reminded me of my Grandpa. He used to have the same breakfast and lunch for years!! I mean 10-15 years!!! I guess you could say he was a creature of habit....
*I started packing and I don't leave until Friday!! That must mean I really am growing up if I don't procrastinate so much anymore.....
~I talked to my friend Krista last week, I just love talking to her, but she used a word I had to look up Dictionary.com. I have had to look up 3 words that Krista has used during the course of our friendship and we have been friends just a short time now. Good work Krista!!!

One Week and Counting...
Well it is official it is one week before I leave for London to join part of my family for a vacation of a lifetime! As the time nears I am getting more and more excited!! I think that this trip will prove to be memorable to say the least!! Thankfully my flight and length of travel is no where near my previous trip to South Africa, and I will have two friends/cousins to meet me at the airport!
While I am gone I am going to miss some great things going on here in Oregon!! First I am going to miss the kickball tournament and end of season party that happens the weekend I leave. Second I am going to miss a Jack Johnson concert that I got my friends tickets to go see (I will be there in spirit!)
Although I am missing some pretty great things, I know that I will experience some truely amazing time with my family, I will visit some fantastic countries that I have wanted to see, and travel in style in one of the nicest rooms on the ship, aswell as the newest and biggest ship in the fleet!! I will FINALLY be going to London, which is something I have wanted to do most of my life!!! So all in all I think I am making out okay even though I will miss a few things happening here. Sometimes you just can't do everything.......
** Side Note: My kickball team kicked tale last night!!! We beat one of the best teams in the league and didn't even blink (ok the last inning got a little close but we owned the whole game)!!! I think I am going to sign up for fall ball, and get to play in the mud a couple times. Then it will be game on again for next summer!!! Our last game is Thrusday. I am kind of sad because it has been more fun than I could have imagined!!!
