Bon Voyage Party

I have the BEST friends and family!!!! Yesterday, my dad ran a few "business" errands with me, and then my buddy, Ieisha, spent the day with me! (WE ALSO ATE LUNCH WITH MY PARENTS AT CHILI'S.) We had a great time. I ran errands with her for several hours yesterday afternoon. However, we spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME at the mall. I was beginning to get extremely bored! Finally....we left that place so that we could go home and take a dip in the pool. As we pulled into the driveway, I saw my grandparents car, as well as one of my former students. I knew that a few people were coming over to swim, but as I walked through the kitchen into to the dining room a huge crowd of people YELLED----SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a surpise bon voyage party for me! Two months ago I jokingly said to a few of my students that I wanted a going away party, in case I don't make it back! They pulled it off without me knowing...surprise, surpise cause I usually find these things out!

I have a long, scarey yet exciting trip that I am will be taking in 4 days to GERMANY!!!! I am soooo EXCITED! It is going to be the most fun experience ever! Can't wait. I will definitely miss all of my wonderful family and friends, but I WILL BE BACK!!!!

For those of you that are reading this, I ask you to please pray for everyone who will be on the journey with me and those people that we come in contact with.

Getting ANXIOUS.......More to come soon.....
