Who knew that this girl I met when I was 12 would be so famous and cool? Not only that, but I'm going to her wedding! Well, 14 years ago, Anna and I did and "interchange" with an organization called CISV (Children's International Summer Village)... 10 kids from Miami County and 10 kids from the Malmo,Sweden area were linked up for two summers. The first summer (1994), Anna and the rest of her gang came to the US and stayed with their host families for a month. The following summer (1995) the 10 of us traveled to Sweden to stay with our host families (ie - I stayed with Anna and her fam). It was an amazing experience that I will cherish forever! Anna and I have kept in contact ever since - actually seeing each other about 4-5 times since 1995 (always in the US)...
For the first time, my parents will meet her parents - and not only that - but on HER turf! My brother will meet her brother. My brother's fiance will meet her brother's girlfriend. Our families will finally meet!
Anna and Jimmy are aerialists who just ended a contract with Royal Carribean as featured "dancers" (it's so much more than that)... Check out Jimmy and Anna's professional website for video and pictures of what these two incredibly talented people do.
I am proud of all my friends for various reasons. God has really put some incredibly amazing people in my life. These just happen to get the feature today. Check them out! I'm sure you will be amazed!
That, my friends, is why I am SO excited about going to Europe in (check the coundown) days!

Slow Start.
I'm a teacher. I have the summers off. I'm suppose to get a lot done. I have no excuse not to.
The last day of school was June 2. Granted, I went back in for two weeks afterward for summer school and to pack my room up getting ready to move to a new room... but still...
A whole week has gone by since the end of summer school. I did a load or two of laundry, hung up about half of the clothes that came out, and... well.. what else? WHAT HAVE I DONE? I have spent too much time on the computer is what. Where is my motivation? My summer is already short due to the vacation I am peeing myself about... I had better get my act together if I want to do anything with my summer. It's JULY next week for heaven's sake!
Tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully I will get some vacuuming done, perhaps even take a mop to the kitchen floor... that's the normal stuff I should be doing anyway... *Sigh* What in the world will I do with myself when we have kids? It's times like this I truely understand that God knows what He's doing... What's wrong with me?
