International Traipsing

Goodness gracious. We've been all over the place! Michelle and Gail went up to Grass Valley for Thanksgiving, while Cheryl traipsed all over London town. If you know Cheryl, you know it definitely wasn't a boring trip. She came back with tons of stories, photos, and a video she is especially proud of. View it here. Now that she's back, she's been rockin' British styles and leggings.

So today, I called Janelle to see if she wanted to go to lunch at the cafeteria with me. I didn't think much of it when the call went straight to her voicemail. Stupid me. I forgot she was going to NYC!Why? Just because she' s awesome like that. Yep. She got a sweet airline deal and decided to go with her attr.., er, amiable cousin Brett, who currently has 2 man points. Unfortunately, this means neither of them will be able to come to the party we're having on Saturday. That doesn't mean you can't come, though. Have fun, J! We'll miss you.

Meanwhile, Julie is preparing to go to KOSOVO on a missions trip with Biola over Christmas break. She is quite the world traveler and this trip will just add one more album on her facebook of which to be jealous.

Julie is co-leading the team of four and is just wrapping up

fundraising right now. It sounds like her group is fantastic and everything is falling into place--no surprises there. Go in peace, Julie!

This spate of traveling isn't really new, I guess. We're all splitting up across the country over Christmas. Amanda is visiting Gail to milk cows in good ol' Pennsylvania and Melissa is dropping in on Claire in New Hampshire. Cheryl heads up to Seattle and Kate east to Arizona. James Browning, our good Ohio friend, may even tag along with some Decadox members on an NYC trip.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. We still have to plod through the last 2 weeks of the semester. Lord, grant us mercy.
