Concert!

A few days a go I went to see Matt Redman and Hillsong in concert!! The concert was in Zagreb Croatia---a few hours south of Ljubljana. I was amazed at how many Croatian Christians I am connected to! I was continually running into people that I knew--including my brother Caleb! Caleb is interning in Rijeka, Croatia this summer with Campus Crusade. Next week he will come and help out with our English Camp!

Forgotten Anniversarys

I totally missed my four year living in Slovenia anniversary! It was June 1st! Missed it. Didnt even think about it. It was actually Brooke who remembered for me! Congratulations to me! Four years living in Slovenia. I am not sure when it happened, but Slovenia has become my home. I love my life here.












Another anniversary I forgot. My precious dog passed away a year and a half a go. I really believe until you loose a dog, you dont really know how hard it is. Copper was the only dog I had growing up. He was a great guard dog--a bit too good actually. Not the friendliest dog if you didnt know him. But our family sure did love him!!

So here is to important anniversaries--- that I completely forgot this year.

The President really was here!

Mr. and Mrs. President Bush

So yesterday I was buying fruit and the Fruit Guy informed Anna and I that Laura Bush was eating at the restaurant right around the corner. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, Anna and I marched up to the front of the restaurant to meet the 1st Lady. I asked the Slovene security gaurd at the front door if it was ok for us to come in and meet the presidents wife. He seemed pleasantly amused at my question. The American Secret Service man wasn't so amused. He told us that she was upstairs having a meeting and that we wouldnt be able to see her. He looked like he worked for Jack Bauer. He didnt let us in. But I bet if I had yelled, she would have heard me. I think she would have liked to meet Anna and I. Oh well.

President Bush came in last night to meet up with his wife. You can read about it here
