Still Nunya Business... But since SippinTea needs thread 3...

[SippinTea]

That's the hope, Jennica. I'm planning a 3 month mission trip. Sooo... barring anything unforeseen that would stop me from going... it's in the works.

I told Melody last night that I've been working and saving for years, for 'someday when' or 'someday if'. I decided 2008 was 'someday'. *smile*

[RainbowJingles]

The CA trip is family vacation. We're planning to take the mini motor home and a tent, and go plant ourselves in a campground for a week.
*tries to imagine a week without phones ringing*
*tries to imagine a week without a schedule*
*tries to imagine a week without her laptop*
*tries to imagine a week without freight and students*
*tries to imagine a week without church involvements*

Sounds almost too good to be true.

Ummm...



Ruby...




I hate to break it to you, but...

Hahaha!!



We may not have a Ruby-less week after all.

[Newsman]

Cell phones may have a hard time working where we're going in June!


John 

[RainbowJingles]

Maybe we'll just have to all make a trek to the library one day to post some pictures and make a few phone calls!


I must admit that I was REALLY weirded out by the fact that the State Park area at the BEACH here has wi-fi access!  I'm thinking: go to the beach to RELAX, not TYPE!  sheesh. 

So, Ruby...  Will you be taking your laptop to the Redwood Forest?

[MelodyB]

From the Redwood forrest, to the Gulf Stream waters...this land was made for you and me!!



FYI: I might not have know where the Redwoods were, but I DO know that the best Gulf Stream waters is in FLORIDA!!

So...when you coming to Fla?

Ruby -

What do you know now, that you didn't know at 21?

I hope it's an amazing trip for you!

Hurray! I hope they don't work at all. 

So, Ruby...  Will you be taking your laptop to the Redwood Forest?

Nope. Therefore, no pics until I get back home. I refuse to take work related stuff on vacation. It's just plain wrong, and I can't relax if I know it's there.

So...when you coming to Fla?

Maybe when it snows in Panama City.

I hope it's an amazing trip for you!

Thank you! I'm sure it will be.

Ruby -

What do you know now, that you didn't know at 21?

A lot.  But here are a few things:

I've learned that a broken heart can take 7 years to recover from
I've learned that being transparent with a friend or two can drastically cut how scary a battle is
I've learned that I need friends of both genders, not just my female friends
I've learned that I can trust my Dad with far more than I used to think I could
I've learned that it's sometimes good to say 'no' to more responsibilities
I've learned that my bosses at work do not own me, and I can even say 'no' to them.
I've learned that I have more to be thankful for than I used to realize
I've learned that NO ONE is perfect, even people I thought were
I've learned that brothers can be ranked among best friends, not just the little brother category
I've learned that little sisters are perceptive enough to pick up on things most people miss
I've learned that when you think no one cares, and no one sees, and no one understands, God has ways of having people pray for you... from around the world. Even when there isn't any possible way for them to have heard/seen anything about/in your life.
I've learned that words can kill
I've learned that words can heal
I've learned that compassion goes a long ways towards helping people
I've learned that a listening ear and a hug can go a lot farther than advice or a lecture
I've learned that most of the things people worry about aren't worth worrying over
I've learned that God is full of surprises... but they're all good ones
I've learned to praise Him in the storm
I've learned that faith is not a feeling. I knew it with my head before... now I know it by experience.

Okay, that was more than a few.

That is about like saying when the Devil goes skiing. *cough*

Now THAT is some things worth knowing....I need to re-learn a few of those myself.
