Currently Reading Culture Shock! Scotland: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock! Guides) By Jamie Grant see related

This is what happened last week with Laurel, the 3 and a half year old I watch. This was while we were playing with a doll family and their dollhouse. Bear in mind that none of these dolls are missing.

Me: Okay I have the mommy and the daddy.."
Laurel: And I have the sister!
Me: Where is the brother?
Laurel: (pauses) I think he's in heaven.
Me: Uh...okay...

Children are so interesting. I really wasn't expecting her to say that.

I'm reading the book above, hoping to get some more inside info before I go over. It was so odd - I was standing in the travel section and looking at all the books on Scotland and the reality of it just hit me. I looked through some of the books and all I could think was, "I'm going to be here in less than 3 months." Yikes. Like I told someone a few nights ago, I've felt God leading me to go to Scotland for awhile now, and it's like my heart is already over there, and I'm just going to where my heart is.

Fund raising is going well - I'm about halfway there now! The whole thing with this is that it's really taught me about the uses of money and greed. In the past, I never really paid any attention to people from church and whatnot asking me for support money. But now that I'm in the same boat, I would definitely support people now! I guess I've just taken inventory of all of the things in my life and I've realized how little I actually need them, and then I see how much someone else might need the money that I wasted. It's so interesting how God teaches us things - I ask people for money and wind up reevaluating my use of money. It's not all that surprising though. :)

I have a problem. I have SO MANY books. I love to read, and not just read, read books 2 and 3 times. I love it!! Although, my reading experience is dwarfed next to Christina who reads the Harry Potter series every year in about, what is it...2 months? Craziness. I also really love Law and Order SVU. It's a problem...

And Christina, I just heard someone on TV speak in a Spanish accent....mmm.....Honestly, who knew that attraction was hiding in there? haha
