So everyone...I am finally at Jackson Hole Bible College. Let me tell you, Jackson ain't no HOLE! It's a bustling tourist city, a cross between Banff and Whistler. The campus is small but really cool and the people are awesome. I have laughed so much already today - don't get me wrong, I've cried too. Saying goodbye to my parents and Danae was a trial, still is actually so pray for me eh?
Some of you would be interested to know that I am staying in a bunkhouse...in the loft...in which I can barely stand in the center and have to crawl most the time. haha. At the moment I am boiling but I'm told the cold weather is coming so not to worry. One slightly freaky issue...the attic floor creaks and moves in some places and I'm a little worried about that...another issue: the hanging baskets outside the bunkhouse! I have almost bashed my head on the one, TWICE. Luckily I have reflexes of a MONGOOSE and can avoid them.
Finally I have to tell you all about the cute little kids running around. They are like 5 and under, blond and adorable. Right now they are singing as they 'help' my roommate set up her Christmas lights. Basically, they make me giggle, which is a good thing in this place so far from home.
I miss everyone so much already, but I'm getting more and more excited. I have a ton of textbooks and as I finish this post, I'm about to start the reading assignments. Sounds fun don't it?
Analea-we are just outside the state of Wyoming.
ReplyDeleteWhen we spoke on skype, the visual helped us all.
Glad to hear that your all set up. We should have packed a hard hat for you,.
Dear Analea I am so glad to hear that you had some reason to smile, today. It was so hard to stop crying as we pulled away...Bev Landis came up to the truck to say goodbye and glad us each a hug. They all seemed to be really special people. Love you so much...it was great to hear and see you on skype tonight...I will sleep better knowing you are okay:)

Oh bananas! It does my heart good to hear that you are able to laugh and enjoy yourself even on a hard day. I had a feeling that Jackson Hole would be pretty touristy, your attic sounds like so much fun!! Cant wait to see pictures. Do you have just one roommate? what do you think of her so far? whats her name? lol, yes i'm full of questions...
ReplyDeleteYou asked me in one of your letters how I did it? One moment, one class, one day at a time. Or to quote the Dragon Keepers Chronicles, 'Do only what is in front of you'
I love you girl and i'm so proud of you!
Oh my,,,,the tears are coming as i read this,,,,,and i am not your mom. I prayed for u and your family as u say goodbye and no worries, prayers coming your way daily. Hey would love to skype with u too,,,when chelsea is around to set it up,,,lol.
