Weird Day.

Yesterday, Anna, myself, Naja, and Ziva took off for a day at the beach!

It wasnt the day we thought it'd be.

On the way there there was a bit of a car accident-- somehow we werent hit. A car behind us lost control so I had to quickly change lanes so I wouldnt be rear ended. They just missed us. Then, the car started slamming into the guardrail and bouncing across the road, I thought to myself.... maybe the shoulder of the road would be a safer place to be. As soon as I moved the car flew right into the lane I was just in. Im shocked no one was hurt!

Im not so sure Anna and I really recovered from the shock of the accident that day.
Driving afterwards I was pretty shaky. We still went to the seaside. We still had fun. But by the time we got home we were two exhausted girls!

After dropping the girls off at home, we decided to go get a movie at Davids. Just seeing David seemed like a very nice thing to the both of us. But, low and behold as we approached his building water balloons rained down upon us. Nailing my foot pretty hard! Apparently David was spending time with Miha and Mikaja and they wanted to have a little fun. The timing wasnt the greatest but after a few games of UNO we became friends again.














Ziva and I and our ice cream!















Anna, Ziva, Naja, Me















Who knows...it was funny.













Enjoying the Adriatic!

Croatia Travel Log...

Last year I helped out with a camp down in Cakovec Croatia. This year I went down to help with their Camp promotion.















I took the train because it was 20Euros cheaper then driving!! I listened to sermons and watched The Office on my ipod. And in two and half hours I was in Zagreb! **FYI The camp is in Cakovec, but it is for Cakovec and Zagreb students. The leaders of the camp live in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Thats why I went there. In case you were wondering!











I sat in on a camp meeting with these lovely ladies and helped them think about this summer. (l-r) Miriam, me, Ema, and Evelin.
















Then I went to a concert put on by a Croatian ska band, October Light and rock band from Arizona, Transient Phase. The purpose was to invite kids to English Camp. I know the students definitely had a lot fun! Im praying that it brings in a lot of students to camp as well.

The next day Miriam Ema and I had tea and talked about life and Jesus. It was a good conversation and wonderful fellowship. Its so nice to have such Kindred Spirits that live so close to me. I always feel refreshed and happy after I spend time with them. This is a little shout out to you since I know you will probably read this. I like you girls!!

That same morning I went back to Ljubljana. Thats where I am now.

Think About it.

Have you ever noticed that these three words sound alike?

chowder
chedder
chatter

My dear Slovene friend could not for the life of her hear the difference when I said these three words. I must admit, I never realized that these words sounded so similar. And also it kinds becomes a tongue twister when you say them fast.

Camp is coming...

Yesterday we had a a group of about 40 leaders from around the country meet to cast vision and provide training for the 8 camps that we will be having this summer in Slovenia. It was incredible. I was so proud of our students! The coolest things was... I didnt even know all of them! Its great when the movement gets much bigger then you!

Go team Slovenija!!!

Surprise Mom!!

I just called my mom and surprised her with a free airline ticket to come see me! Thank you to Lufthansa Miles and More, I finally got enough miles for a free ticket. Of course, once you pay all the taxes its not exactly free...But, Im hoping it all works out, and soon!

yesterday, today, tomorrow...

yesterday...
When i was in America (ok, not yesterday) I got to speak at my old high school, in chapel. These are some things i liked...

I was greeted by the worship band, three siblings that I went to school with. They were a lot younger then me then. They still are. Philip, Bekah, and David Shepard. I used to babysit and tutor all five of them actually. Last time I saw David, he was probably 7years old. He's in junior high now and was playing electric guitar. Bekah is a senior in high school and engaged. Philip is done with high school and married. Crazy.

During the worship I sat in the back with my old teachers and my volleyball coach. I never would sit in the back. But there I was. Coach Sano and I giggled up a storm. I used to get in trouble for giggling in chapel. She caught me up on all the gossip. I always liked her.

Then I spoke to a group that was probably 4 times bigger then when I attended. Kids actually listened. They came up and talked to me afterwards. I even got an email from one of them a few weeks later. Wild.

today...











I went for a walk and took this picture. The sky was beautiful.

tomorrow...
Well actually a week from Tuesday Im taking a group of girls to Zagreb for an English Camp promo/Concert fest. Im so excited to go on this mini retreat with them. Im praying that all of their paperwork gets through. Would you say a little prayer for this too?

Quick updates...

Just so you know a bit more about whats going on right now in my life...

Its 55degrees today and cloudy.
I finished the dance to the camp theme song. I will hopefully film on on Sunday.
Im currently reading the book of 2Samuel.
Ive discovered I love wearing my black poofy vest that I got on sale at Old Navy.
I pick Anna up from the airport on Friday.
My fingernails have been a lot stronger these days. I think its because Ive been drinking out of the tap (water here is high in calcium).
Im watching American Idol at the Pattys house tonight.
I switched over to a mac computer. I love it.
I wish I could go back to Israel and do it all over again in slow motion.
Ive been doing pilates lately. They make me sore.
Im planning a personal retreat away to go be with the Lord. I will probably go to my favorite castle in Austria.
Last week the fruit guy and I compared the God of the Old Testament to the God of the New Testament--he's pretty hung up on the differences. I cant say that I blame him.
I need to go buy soap at the store today.
A lot of people tell me I look like Sarah Jessica Parker. I just offended a friend when I said I didnt think Sarah Jessica Parker was very pretty. Apparently they do think she's pretty. So, now Im going to take it as a compliment.

And that is a peek into my life.

Since Ive been back...

Since Ive been back different things have happened, like...
Easter!














With the Jackson Family, Grandma, and Neighbors!















With the Pattys!

I had my Birthday!



















A self portrait of my life as a 27year old.




















I got a Pink Purse from Neja! And also a bunch of gifts from other girls, Lucy, Polona and Katja, Ziva.... it was a special day!

Just last Friday I went and saw Meta's baby, Jost! Meta was a camper a few years back and now she has a very sweet 7month old baby boy...
