Family Time


In four days time I went from Kauai to Missouri.  It has been quite a change.  I left Tuesday morning from Kauai and flew to California to see my family.  On Thursday night my whole family piled in the car and started our road trip from California to Missouri.  We drove over 900 miles the first day in 14 hours.  We stopped in Santa Rosa new Mexico.  We ate dinner at a little home town bar and grill and then swam in the hotel pool to get all the wiggles out before continuing the journey the next day.  We got up on saturday at 4am to drive the last 700 miles to our final destination for the week, Cameron Missouri.  The last day, even though it was shorter distance wise, seemed twice as long as the day before.  We watched movies, took naps and tried to stay out of trouble on the way.  We made it in time for dinner with grandma and grandpa.  It was so good to see my grandparents! I don’t get to see them often so when I do it’s time that I treasure.   We will be here for a week before going to to Illinois for a couple of days to see My Aunt, Uncle and some cousins that I get to meet for the first time! After that it’s off to Minnesota! I’ll be staying with some friends that I met in Kauai, Liana and Annika.  It’s going to be so fun! I can’t wait, I’ll be in Minnesota for about three weeks before going back to California.  In California I’ll be going to a wedding and visiting friends before going back to Kauai to start another school semester.  The Lord has great plans for me, some of which I don’t know yet but I trust in the Lord that He has his best interest in mind and He will not let me down.  Following the Lords plan is always an adventure but is also a constant Joy!
