2008 ~ A Year of New Things
My friend Eldrid told me last New Year's that 2008 signified a year of 'new things'.
The year has come and gone and I wondered if I experienced this newness now that I'm home from my travels . . .
World trip with my Lord & God, to five continents, carrying one backpack, and only the route planned. I left in Jan 2007, wanting to see the world and have an adventure with Jesus, and returned 10 and 1/2 months later amazed at what I discovered.

Happy Thanksgiving from Greece!!!It has been a HUGE blessing from God to have my mom here this week with me.
He has blessed us with AMAZING weather - blue skies and sunshine, when there could easily not be. Also, He has directed each step of our journey w/ out us even being aware...

From an email to my dad... from Athens, Greece & the discovery of LEGOS:
Mom and i are here at an internet cafe, waiting out a rain storm that just came in!
we came out of the the National Archaeological Museum and bam! dark clouds swirling, thunder, and we tried to head to the metro, but saw an internet cafe, so ducked in, just before the rain came down! its clearing up a bit now, but its good to take a break.
thanks for your email; mom says hi!

Hi dear friends and family!
I am in Rome tonight... heading to Athens tomorrow morning to meet my MOM for a mother/daughter Greek week!!
She's coming to spend Thanksgiving with me, and i think we're going to check out the cool stuff around Athens (like the pillars and buildings from a LONG time ago, and maybe visit some places like Corinth and Thessalonika, and maybe the Island of Patmos.
