Leavin' on a jet plane...

5:00 am airport call tomorrow morning.

The interns are off to Chicago.

I know very little about our agenda while we're there... just that we're going to be visiting lots of different ministries and that the itinerary is custom made to stretch each of us in individual ways. So there are certain things on the agenda just because our leader thinks I need something... and something else on the agenda for another member of the team... can't wait to see where we end up and what we do.

I LOVE my intern team so much - and am privileged to play mama hen to them. Just to be able to hang with them for a whole week and grow alongside them is such a thrill. They're amazing people.

If you're the praying sort - please pray for my health. I woke up this morning with one eye that is running constantly and very achy - I went to the doctor and got some conjunctivitis drops - but the doctor thinks it's just viral and told me not to use the drops unless the discharge gets gooey and green. (Lovely) It really aches and now my nose is starting to get drippy. I really don't want to be sick on the trip, so I'm praying for a miracle.

See you back here next week! I'm home late Monday night.

Smooch you all.

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
