happy valentines day (for real)

sorry, dear readers, for keeping you waiting. these last days have been busy, busy, busy! saturday there was a road trip to gratz with david (pictures will be posted at a later date); sunday kendra and i hiked to the castle lichtenstein, on the mountain we dubbed "gummy bear mountain" (can you guess what we were eating? - pics coming soon); monday clothing room, tuesday we led team worship and revolutionized it with ipods and games. there was also hair cutting program, dinner with miriam, and then a nightcap with eileen; wednesday was a day for goodbyes. a team lunch, debrief, then wednesday night program. i know this is the cheapest overview of some truly great last few days, but you must give me a break. it's a 3:15 AM.
it seems that all last days are, no matter where you're leaving from. right now it is 3 in the morning on thursday, february 14. in three hours our plane will be taking off, in one hour we will be leaving for the airport. though we left all of our packing to the very last minute (of course, when it's becky and kendra it can't be done any other way but last minute), it is now all packed and i am ready to go. problem is, i am afraid to let myself sleep for fear i won't wake up when i need to wake up.
so up i am, doing anything to keep myself awake. this is not going to be a fun journey. we're flying from here to paris, we stay in paris for 5 hours, and then fly the 10+ hours to LA, where we have a 10 hour layover. THEN we finally get to fly to san jose, costa rica. yay..!
i will try to blog from one of the airports.
uh-oh, time to leave!! please pray for our luggage to get through each connecting flight, and for us to get through this LOONG journey to costa rica.

So I went home and typed in Doublemint twins in You Tube.
Man what a trooper to pull a all nighter. I do pray that you can sleep on the plane.

Well to be honest apart from the doublemint twins I am missing you both already. The Beautiful one, and the sweet one.

Hi Ladies,
I just talked with Donna and got a glimpse of the drama of your flights. I can't wait to hear your version of events in this blog. Love you and miss you bunches!
