I can BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF!!!In just a matter of hours, I leave for a MIRL*xravaganza! My bags are nearly packed and I just have to make it through today and sleep one more time (after tonight since I guess it's technically Monday right now at 11:28pm) then I am on VACATION!!! I don't want to tell y'all exactly where I will be, on account of all the stalkers, but I can't just go without sharing with all my friends who live in my computer the joy of what is about to transpire. Feast your orbs on this dream come true:
Wednesday: I fly out to see Sing 4 Joy, my bestie, my bff, my sistahcousinfriend in the great state of Louisiana!
by the way, prepare yourselves... Brandy, (of ForceDotMom fame) my BeFri and all around supercool chick has loaned me her flip cam! can you say VLOG? (me either... do you say it VEE-LOG or V'LOG or Va-log?) anyway, I'll be recording and posting one of those nightly. consider yourselves warned.
Thursday: S4J and I will meet up with her dear LA friend, the blogless (but very enjoyable in every way) Ashleigh and take a road trip to meet the famous and amazing and wonderful Whimzie. Together, we shall letterbox. SQUEEEEEEEE!
Friday: Me and S4J will take another roadtrip... this time to go see the unstoppable KIM (aka God's Guitar Girl- GGG) in TX. Kim is a fellow chica, and a dear, dear friend that I met years ago through S4J.
Saturday: WE GET TO SEE GGG GET MARRIED!!!!!!!!!! Lots of tears and love and smiling will happen there. Also at the wedding, I will also meet Christine from Red Lipstick Diaries. hoooty hooo hooo. After the wedding we will go and have dinner with Tawnya, one of our best friends from high school, whom I miss so so so so much and can't wait to see. (She's also blogless... but her husband David is not!)
Sunday: Road Trip home to S4J where we will make one INCREDIBLE stop... to go visit the famous, victorious, beautiful LISA from Glad Chatter!!! I can't even believe that God cleared the path to be able to be able to make this unbelievable side trip!!!
Monday: Back in LA where I get to meet a buncha S4J's friends and go on their famous Kid Free Adventures in the Swamp! I can't even know how great it will be! I just know it will be tremendous!
Tuesday: I'm not sure who knows what's happening on this day, and S4J isn't online to ask about it, so I am going to leave this vague so I don't let the cat out of the bag. This is going to be the grand finale for sure!
then...
I head home! Which normally would be maybe sad news because it would mean I wasn't with s4j and not on vacation anymore....except I am SO EXCITED ABOUT MY AMAZING CHILDREN'S MINISTRY TEAM that I'm actually looking forward to getting back, rested and exhilarated, and rolling up my sleeves and setting about the King's business.
oh yeah, and I'll be really anxious to see these guys again, too:
and this handsome guy:
seriously, there is no amount of money you could pay me to trade lives right now. not for a bajillion, mizillion dollars.
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.
Ecclesiastes 5:19
*MIRL= Meet In Real Life

Godspeed. Xxxooo
Wow. Wishing GA was just a wee bit closer to LA!! Nothing like just soaking up besties and road trippin' and laughin' until you almost teetee in your pants! ;)
Praying lots of fun, rest, relaxation and MEMORIES!!
I can't even begin to tell you how jazzed I am about MIRL!!!!! I was originally planning to go to the letterboxing but my family will be in town that week and I'll be entertaining them instead. I'm sure things at the wedding will be nuts so there probably won't be much time to chat and I'll be attending with my knight and two young jesters. I told S4J to just plan a Chicas event and invite me along! You won't even see me at PWOC as we've got a swamp boat tour planned for that afternoon. Excited about meeting but sad that our time together will be so short. :(s
Hug Whimzie's neck for me, and have a WONDERFUL time.
Sob! No big detour to Northern Canada?
Have FUN!
Hey - I'm with Beck! No detour to Canada???

What? No trip to Btown? Maybe next year? :-) Have a great trip!!
I am so excited that I really could spontaneously burst into tears at any minute.
And before you ask, no I'm not hormonal.
HURRY UP TOMORROW!!! (P.S. The rest of your trip sounds fun. I may end up tagging along and crashing! :))
Have a wonderful time doing all those cool things -- esp. the wedding! Jealous - love and hugs to all.
