We had to get up a bit earlier today. So we could… I’m not really sure why. We went to Denny’s for Kyle and Anne to get something to eat, then we got Sharye and went into town. Indianapolis, that is. We wandered around the mall for a bit, where Sarah and I ended up in a bookstore. Imagine that. There’s this great chocolate place where we all met and had chocolate fondue. Yum. It was pretty amazing. Then we all went back to the bookstore. Sarah and I had some stimulating conversation, and I bought a new book (as I will be finishing this one soon.) Right now I’m reading a book by a woman who was an English colonist who grew up in war-torn Africa. It’s called “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight.” ... read more

Show this morning. Good. The crew was great all through the two days, but not so good at following directions on the out, kinds of got us out of order. Oh well. We made it. Kyle and I had some zillions of phone calls to make, so I accompanied him in the truck. We got several advances done, which was great, and then sang and chatted a lot. We stopped in Edinburgh to pee. Edinburgh, Indiana, that is. We were only in two states- Kentucky and Indiana. We drove through several places it had flooded and was still quite wet. We also saw some baby goats that were so cute! And some calves smaller than Rosco Wilson. Only the crew is at the hotel, everyone else is in host families. We went to Texas Roadhouse for ... read more

Hello blogger friends: Today I got to spend most of the day in our motel room, except for a brief drive this afternoon. That was cool, I had time to catch up on some zzzzzz's which of course I am always ready for! This morning my masters went to church with their friends, Skip and Mary. The name of he church was Southport Presbyterian Church--a very evangelical church. It was a beautiful Palm Sunday service. The pastor delivered a monologue as "Reuben", the man who owned the donkey that Jesus sent his disciples to get before entering Jerusalem. It was very well done, and combined with the bellringer choir, youth choir and adult choir, made for a great time of worship. My masters attended the 9:30 AM service, which was one of three held every Sunday ... read more

I go to NZ. I guess I am going to blog a little on how I feel about my trip. I am excited and worried. I have always wanted to travel the world and research people and their cultures. New Zealand will be my test project. For a month I will be traveling the country, meeting people, and exploring. I hope to come back with some good research to be placed in a life long book of learning. I feel this will be a success. I am worried about losing a month with my son and fiance. Little guy and I have never been separated in the 5 years since he was born. Sara will take good care of him and his mother had better be cordial. His mother's action are my biggest worry. Anyway, I ... read more

Hi! I am almost ready to go! I leave on Sunday and after a long-----long flight I will be in beautiful Sydney, Australia... which seems pretty unreal to me right now. I know that I will miss my friends so much and IU and little 5 :( but I am sure this trip will be amazing! I am rather nervous because I have never flown by myself or have lived in another country. Also, I do not know anyone when I get there. I am sure this will be a journey that will help me grow a lot as a person. I guess we will see :)... read more
