Getting ready...

So I am in the midst of getting ready to move to Thailand for at least a year, possibly two...fixing up my car to sell this week, moving from house to house and living out of a suitcase for almost a month now, saying goodbyes to friends...crying has become a part of my day just as much as waking up and going to sleep. Even so, I am excited!! A dream that I have had for so many years is going to soon be no longer a dream, but my reality - waking up in a country where English isn't the main language and McDonalds are not on every corner - Chiang Rai, where I'm moving only has a Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Dunkin' Donuts (don't ask me why they chose those two...I dunno). Teaching kids that are from a variety of countries...learning a language to exist in a new community...living thousands and thousands of miles away from friends and family...and learning to trust only God!!

I love life!! I love God!!
but I hate waiting to get my brakes fixed, which is what I am doing right now...should be drinking coffee with friends, but I am not...oh patience, why do you taunt me??

Love you all - that's Tuesday!! Only 9 days in Colorado, then 10 in Texas and then off to the other side of the world...
