8 days and counting...

I have exactly 8 days until I take my car and drop 2,000 miles on it but it is going to be worth the trip! I am headed home and will be there for about 20 days so that should be exciting!

If you get the chance, drop me a line or call my cell if you are going to be around. During the day I will be teaching again until about 6pm everyday during the week or my trip would drive me crazy just sitting around! Otherwise, I am able to meet up and hang out! I am looking to spend some time soaking up the sun and sights of Minneapolis again and taking in the Wisco love and hanging with Zach again! Can't wait!

I hope everyone is doing well and you guys know how much I am thinking about you! Good luck to Jessica and Andy as they move into their new home, Heidi and Jeff as they try to locate all their belongings in the move, Holly as she gets ready to jet over and see Parker and Anna and Hal as they wrap up their travels. Miss you and thinking about you always!

Best wishes and talk w.you all soon!

Thank you for being my friend...

I have this amazing friend that has such a beautiful spirit and so much compassion and love for people that I am so lucky to have her in my life and to be able to call her my friend. She recently posted this scripture on her blog that I thought it stated what needs to be said. We need to be thankful for what we have and wait and good things will come with time!

THANK YOU SARAH!!!

You make me a better person knowing you and the compassion that you show people pushes me to be a better person and do all I can to let them know they matter to me and those around them.

"Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom. For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently." Romans 8:24-25

I SWAM with a Sea Lion!!!

It was SOOO amazing! I was out on my bodyboard and I saw something smooth and black drive under the water. First I FREAKED out and moved all the way back up to the shore and waited to see where it would could out...sharks you know...

Well anyways, I knew it wasn't a Great White since it was black but I still held back for half an hour before going out any deeper to hit the good waves and get away from the beach breakers...So, here I am hitting an awesome wave and when I jump off my board and turn around to head back out...OH WOW! A sea lion was catching the end of my wave and coming RIGHT AT ME!!! It was crazy and scary and then funny at the same time...after the wave broke he jumped on the next one. He rode several waves and swam in and out of the people in the water. It was great to see. He got like 2 feet from this one guy who didn't even notice he was in the water. And then the guy turned around and saw him and at first backed up and then realized that he was going to follow him so he moved closer to him and stuck his hand out...the the sea lion came up in the water and like barked at him so the guy just swam away and the sea lion moved on to the next person. It was great! He hung out for like an hour and a half catching wave after wave...What a way to spend my only day off! Come to California and hang out soon!

Cheers!

OH!!! How I love the water!!! I just bought my Boogie Board and I am ready to ROCK!! The water is amazing and it is so relaxing to ride the waves and see the beauty all around! I have been lucky and had a WONDERFUL friend from Mpls come and test out the boards with me and have since fallen in love!! If you get the can to come out and play, lets rent you a board and hit the waves! Much love and catch the wave!!!
