Today has been very, very exciting! First off ,I would like to wish my brother a wonderfully happy birthday. We spent the day with him yesterday eating and talking, it was lovely.

I am so blessed to have the family I do. My brother has taught me to look at life in a totally different way. He is so wonderfully unique and totally his own person. I love him so much and I am so proud of him! Love you Brother!!!

Secondly, I wrote a check for a very large amount today, to secure my spot on a trip to ISRAEL next March. I am sooooooooooooo excited! The trip is going to be such a blast. We are going to the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee and a zillion other places. To actually see the places that you find in the Bible! O man, I am still a little unsure at where the money is going to come from but I know the big guy upstairs will provide! It somewhere I never thought I would go, and I am pretty sure my favorite travel buddy, Jo is coming with me which makes me ten times more excited.

In other news, the beast that is VBS is coming up so I will be at work pretty much 24/7 for the next couple weeks. Feel free to stop by with coffee or a chocolately treat

Good day, bed time.
