Compare where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get nowhere.

8 Days. Wow... I was wrong, the days are not flying by. In fact I feel like it should already be time to pack up. This has been a hard week... and it hasn't even been a week yet! I know I really need to learn to just be content where I am right now, but it's so hard when I'm so antsy. I think It's like a watched pot. If I'm sitting here watching the minutes go by every day, it's never gonna be time for me to leave. And I only have a little over a week here with my family and friends, so I should enjoy it. But it's hard when everyone is either in school or at work, cause I find myself spending my days alone. And then what are you gonna do but watch the minutes?

I've been able to talk to scotty a little bit. That's always encouraging. But then once we're done talking, I think about all the stuff he's doing there and it makes me wanna be there so much more. And the time difference certainly doesn't help. Because I hear about all this stuff right before he goes to bed at night, which is right when i wake up in the morning, so I have the whole day ahead of me where he's sleeping and I'm awake by myself dreaming of Australia with no one here and nothing to do.

Haha, I sound whiney, but I'm not, I promise! It's been good getting to spend some time in the Word in those times, but i find myself loosing focus a lot. I certainly have a lot to pray for though. And I know I"m gonna miss my family like crazy, I just wish they weren't so busy too.

I just need something to fill the hours of my day this week. Any suggestions??

Any way... Here are some pictures of Natalie.
