The End is Near...

July 21st I leave. This leaves me, oh, EIGHTEEN DAYS.

And I spend most of each week with teenage girls, trying to love them well and be a blessing to them for the short five weeks they're here at Redwood Glen. (by the way, photos to come). They have made my last weeks in California the best I could ever have even dreamed.

So needless to say, I'm asking God to calm my heart and help me get everything done in the right time and the right way. I am ready to be on the road, and to be able to relax into the rhythm of my trip.

Things to Do:
  • Route planning, lets hope tomorrow!
  • Look into buying a hammock tent which may be the greatest invention ever.
  • Buy some basic maintenance equipment, like the fix-a-flat goo.
  • Get AAA towing :)
  • Get my Vespa back from the dealer where they're taking their SWEET time fixing it.
  • Pack the clothes I'll use on the trip.
  • Figure out what shipping company I'll use and schedule my pickup.
  • GIVE MORE MORE MORE TO THE THRIFT STORE!
  • Drink lots of calming tea.

And that, friends, is just the beginning. Love you all and hope to see some of you this summer!
