well, i'm back! i spent

well, i'm back! i spent the last week in a bus with 38 high school kids who are a part of the touring youth choir common ground (part of the youth program over at bethel lutheran), we toured the pacific northwest with stops in sacramento, salem, bend, seattle and a few other cool towns you've probably never heard of. highlights included whitewater rafting on the deschutes river, watching the flying fish at pikes place market, the dollar store in troutdale, oregon (no sales tax!), crater lake, and of course, the hilarious antics at the variety show. i was with the group as an adult 'sponsor', and i also ran the media parts of the show.

it was truly an amazing experience, and although it had it's ups and downs, i had a fabulous time, and i can't wait until next year... although i am glad to be back home to my own bed, my shower and of course, my computer. ;-)
