Goodbye

We are having a great time in PA. It is amazing to spend time with Adam and Kelly. I missed them so much and know that it is going to be so incredibly hard to say goodbye again. I mean for them it is probably more like a "see ya later" but really it is so hard to always be saying goodbye to people. I go to London and meet my "brothers and sisters" from around the world and have to say goodbye, we have people that come in and out of our lives constantly where you have to say goodbye, and it isn't always see ya later. It is so hard, but makes you value the time that you get with people. Makes you understand too, for me at least, how much you need to rely on God to see you through because He is the only thing that is constant. I mean your family is always around and always there for you, but sadness and heartache happen, and friends... well friends are tricky. Seems to me that sometimes friends can be better to you then family, but then sometimes it is the total opposite. It is just hard when your best friends live so far away, but it is wonderful that I got to visit my two best girl friends both in the same summer, and both in such different places! Anyhow, I am just astounded at how it has really helped me to rely on God because He is constant. Just another random thought for today.

I got to go to Hershey's Chocolate World today with Annie, Christopher, Kel, and my kids, and we had a great time! The ride that we got to go on was so cute! They had a bagillion things that you could by there from Hershey, and the chocolate! OH MY YUM! We had a nice cook out at Adams sisters, (who I adore by the way), and had a good time just letting the kids play and going to the park. Tomorrow, Kel has to work so I am pretty much on my own but I will take Wy to the sandbox if it is nice outside. Anyhow, I LOVE it here. We are having a blast!
Peace

Thank the Lord for diversity

Since I have been traveling, it makes me understand quite a few things, one thing that really changed my perspective in ways, is knowing that in our little "bubble" we live in, like everyone in our age demographic pretty much dresses the same, and sometimes even acts the same way. Being in Europe, they have like a whole different fashion sense then in America, but the great thing was that you see people dressing how they like. Because there was so much diversity there, it was cool to see different people from different cultures add their own little twist on fashion from where they came from. It really reinforced to me the fact that it isn't important to buy from the coolest places according to the people around the area. Who cares? I mean really. So, it was interesting to see that they had H&M and The Gap there, both of which I really like. I don't really have a point, I just feel differently now that I have been exposed to more diversity. It doesn't matter what you wear, or who makes it. It is important to me, I have realized that it is worth it sometimes to invest a bit of money if you know about a certain thing that you know will really stand the test of time, and wear and tear. K told me about Teva's for example. Great sandals, expensive, but so worth it. So anyhow, I guess lesson of today is that it is good to invest in stuff sometimes, but seriously don't feel pressure to do or wear something that isn't who you are. Sorry just a random blog for today

Otherwise we are having fun with our pals in PA, we are going to Red Lobster tonight, Wahoooooo
