well. the time is almost here. it's been a weekend of a lot of visits and goodbyes and any day now i'm going to start packing… hopefully tomorrow, because i leave the next morning. truly my biggest concern right now is that i won't have room to pack my fleece dinosaur blanket and the fact that i've misplaced my iPod. priorities, right?
saturday we journeyed to toledo and sister had her first red robin experience AND her first onion ring experience.
it seemed like something that needed documented…. we had a great lunch with my aunt, uncle and cousin and then had to say good-bye to them. why don't people realize that things would be easier if they just moved to ak??
this is my cousin casey. he's pretty much the brother I've never had and sometimes we are way too much alike. he is a sophomore at the university of toledo and i was very hopeful that he would spend his summer in alaska with me this year, or at least that he would visit. however, he's off on a new adventure.
this summer he will be spending 6 weeks in croatia on a college campus telling people about the Lord. what an awesome way for him to spend part of his summer. selfishly i really wanted him to be in alaska, but i'm so excited and proud to see him serving the Lord, no matter what that looks like. in the next few months he will have to raise quite a bit of money in order to be able to go on this trip with campus crusade. if you'd like to hear more about what he'll be doing there, you can click here to email him. :)

| this guy was not one bit sad to say goodbye to me... |
today involved a few more 'good-byes' and soon enough i'll be unpacking in juneau and saying so many 'hellos'. i'm thankful for this extended ohio time, but for now i'll keep moving forward.
