So I've been home for quite some time now. Just havent really found the time or want to update this. Sorry. Anyway, Thailand was amazing! So amazing that I would even consider living there! Maybe some day it will happen.... we shall see.

When I got to the airport after coming home on such long flights from Thailand my dad was there to meet me! Along with my mom and brother and uncle and aunt. But I was really excited to get to see my dad! For those of you reading this... you most likely know my dad had been in Iraq since october 18th of 2004. So I had the opportunity to spend a week with my dad before he had to go back to Iraq. We spent a lot of family time together and we had a lot of fun! Saying goodbye this time wasnt as hard as the first time, because we know what dad had to go through before and this time he'd only be there for a short period.

Last week I was in Canada with 10 other people from my youth group (3 of which were leaders and 7 of which were teens). We had an awesome time canoeing and portaging... maybe more so canoeing than portaging. But never the less we enjoyed the trip very much. I think the coming home part was amazing too because we were able to feel totally clean when we got home and took long showers and slept in our own bed in clean clothes! Such a nice feeling!  Check out pictures of the Canada trip on C2CBC.com. That is my youth group's website. We have tons of other pictures from tons of other activities. Check 'em out!

Oh yeah, dad broke his foot the day before he left for Iraq and he will be coming home (to the US) soon for rehab. He will most likely be in Texas where he was deployed from. He isnt able to stay in Iraq for the remainder of this tour there because of his foot and not being able to wear his body armor because of it. He's a little upset because he wants to be there with his men, but I think he'll feel much better when he returns to the states and feels closer to home.

Thats about all for now folks! later!
