 Well, I got a letter from Alice on Wednesday, and I don't get to go back to Gnaw Bone this summer.  It's so strange for me- I've been going to Gnaw Bone for seven summers.  I barely remember summers before then.  GBC is like a second home to me.  But, amazingly, I'm quite at peace with it.  I asked God to make me comfortable with it, and I guess it's just one of those steps in trusting His plan for my life.

So now my summer is uncertain, no more than before I guess, but now I know it's uncertain.  There are several possibilities- I might go to a Christian camp in Colorado, but that's not at all for certain, because it's rather expensive and Chris would be going too, or I might go to the Dominican Republic with my church.  Mom is limiting me to one trip this summer.  I may also go back to swimming.  So, please pray that we would make the right decisions.  =)

I got tagged by Annamarie (amorphousaeb), so here are 5 random habits/things about me:

  1. I don't drink carbonation- haven't for 3 1/2 years.  Usually I drink lemonade or gatorade or water or something else instead.  But I think that's going to have to change in Thailand.
  2. Before a run, I tie my shoes several times before they are the *perfect* tightness and there are no wrinkles in my socks.
  3. I randomly throw words or phrases from a foreign languages into my sentences- or sentences in a foreign language into my conversation- I'm slowly training my family in understanding basic spanish.  ;p
  4. Except for at meals, I always drink my water out of water bottles- preferably nalgenes.  It tasts better that way.  There is almost always a nalgene water bottle on my desk.
  5. I countdown to everything I'm anticipating.  Usually it's in my head, but when it's a big event, like a trip, my family will definitely hear.  And so will you.
I tag Alyssa (my_life_is_not_mine), Rachel (Rachel_Piano_Obsessed), Abbie (prariechick4eternity), Michelle (Ebony3), Emily (PrincessoftheKing73), Keegan (completelybroken), and whoever else wants to do it.

Speaking of countdowns...

2 weeks!

Man.... two weeks to the day!  I was working on arrangements for the airport, today -- I can't believe it's so close!

Yeah, because we aren't allowed to drink the water.  =/  (Except the places where they have bottled water and you can see them open the cap.)

Maybe you'll discover that you absolutely love carbonation, Laura...

I do the same thing before I run. Everthing has to be perfect, otherwise it messes my run up. Haha. I'm so paranoid.

Less than two weeks now! I'm excited for you all. =)
