Okay, okay, I know I need to update. Quit yelling! :)

I am still recovering from this weekend. Our church youth group was planning a trip to Magic Mountain and we have been wanting to go there for the last....20 years. We decided to tag along and help out. The trip was on Friday. We had so much fun! Magic Mountain has some of the most AMAZING rollercoasters, but I didn't know it was so much work to ride these rides. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

The new ride, Tatsu, was so much fun! I screamed and laughed so hard! You ride laying face down. It is like flying! It was my favorite ride, but they were all truly amazing.

We left the church at 6:30am and drove for 5 hours, had lunch and went into the park. We left the park at 10pm and headed for the church that we were sleeping at. It was another 1 1/2 hours away. We then had about 40 people (mostly teenagers) to get settled in for the night. We finally got to sleep around 2am and then we left Saturday morning at 9:30am to head back home. I think we went to bed around 7pm on Saturday. We were so wiped out. I told my hubby that I am getting too old for this kind of thing, but I think it was well worth the trip. It really makes me wish that we had gone sooner. If you live near Valencia, California and like rollercoasters, GO! Now! The rumor is that they are closing the park in about 6 months, unless they sell it. We might try to go again, if we don't sell our house soon.

Is there anything that you have been wanting to do and have been putting off? To borrow the Nike Slogan "Just Do It" before it's too late.

RYC:  Thanks so much for what you had to say.  I am still struggling, even after so much revelation on the subject.  I realized yesterday that since I posted in such a vulnerable way, I have been letting old, bad habits sneak back in, as a defense mechanism -- almost like I can 'cover back up' and not be vulnerable.  I tend to want to hide in busyness (is that a word?) or in stress, or in my bed.    I think that's one of the reasons I had to write this post on xanga, so I would have to face this issue head on.  I am determined now to live in the moment, and deal with the vulnerability...as uncomfortable as it is.  Anyway...I am glad you were affected in a positive way by my post, and hope you will keep reading.  I can't always promise such profound posts , but it's nice to get to know people, and share in xangaland friendship.
