Technically speaking I'm working right now. My job is to keep Junior in this Grande Maison at all costs! Today is the day of his bachlor party and our job was to get him to come here and stay here until everyone arrived. Hard to believe that on February 2nd they will be getting married! It seems as though everyone is getting married these days....strange. We also have a baby to be born to camp. Theresa Anderson ( our secretary, and bosses wife) is going to have her first child this coming March right before Kristin and I head home! Please pray that this pregnancy goes according to plan as It has been a rough few months for her healthwise and has made it pretty stressful for both she and Buan (our boss).

Tonight Mike get's back from England. He was meeting his Tear Fund Missions group thats headed to Peru this spring! And Verena has saftely arrived in Romania to visit her friends.

Tomorrow after church Mike, Justin, Kristin, and I are headed off to the South of France and Italy! We are just a bit excited! I booked our hostels yesterday and we are going to be seeing/ staying in Avangon, aux de provence, marseille, nice, toulon, monaco, and wherever else we end up hitting as we road trip along the coast. We hope that there is time to hop across the border into Italy and exlore before heading home through the alps. It should be a pretty neat trip as we've mapped out some things we wish to see, some neat places to stay, and have bought tons of snacks and prepared music for the road. Hope everything goes well. We will be borrowing the camp car so just be praying that it stays together for our trip and we can have a smooth relaxing vacation! We are truly looking forward to the time off!

On other notes...
Two and a half months left. We begin the winter season next week and that means neverending camps and work groups are here. The entire month of February we have groups here, not one day without visitors! Then the beginning of March is much the same and then the season ends. We will be getting 5 days off and then we work a bit with Joshua Expeditions work group and perhaps will tour Austria before heading home. The neat part is whenever we travel here we can do it on the cheap as we have a car and have found some amazing hostels in all the towns we are visiting! It's so strange to see the rest of our time here booked up. Hard to believe I will be returning to ya'll so soon! On that note thank you all for your support, emails, messages, and prayers. It has meant so much to Kristin and I. You have all been sooo helpful throughout these past few months! God Bless ya'll.

A cool thing is that when we go home Thierry ( the old head of camp) will be touring around MA talking about France and the missions field here. It's going to be pretty sweet to have him meet friends and my family so they can get a taste of the place I love so much!

When Kristin and I get home we are both planning on waitressing and saving up some money for college! I am debating soulfest again this year with the group and perhaps get in some raking as I will be around Maine this summer with the fam. Then August 25th is Orientation! I am sooo syched for BIOLA! The future looks lovely and I can't wait to get home and catch up with everyone back there.

On a random note...
