Cali So cool that you were in Cali while I'm in Mississippi, and I was in Cali when u were in Mississippi...we flip flopped! AmeriCorps is a crazy experience...I'm glad we both joined so we'd have a friend that could understand. You're the coolest. Life is an adventure.
Pictures worth 1000 words How beautiful it is there! I'm vicariously living through your adventures and enjoying every one. I prefer southern or English style biscuits, but envy your physical prowess. Prayers and blessings are flowing around you. Enjoy Utah! Love Mrs. S.
Maymont So the town you just left is about the size of my home town in Saskatchewan where I grew up. Mind you, I lived 1 1/2 miles from Maymont on a farm and went into the "big" town for school, church, groceries, etc. It is so exciting to get all your blogs and "live your life" with you. The pictures are great and so are your comments. Glad it wasn't me cause I'd still be under a tree.
Love, Other Mother
California dreamin Hi Nicki...you're time in So.Cal. sounded wonderful. I'm sure the beauty of what you've seen will be etched in your mind forever. I'm sure SLC will be impressive as well. Did you really see any of the wildlife you mentioned? It's too bad you can't bring some of that wood home with you for some of your infamous bonfires in the backyard.
Congrats on the willpower to get by w/o the internet for that period of time. I'm sure you'll make up for it. And reading 3 books. What's gotten into you and Jeff? He's been reading a lot lately himself. I think it's great.
I'm glad to hear that you and the team made it to Utah safely and I look forward to hearing what lies in store for you there.
I'm keeping you and Gold 4 in my prayers.
Love ya dearly,
Pops
The adventure never ends! Hi # 1 Daughter, What another exciting spike to commune with nature and God. I am glad you have all these opportunities to have unique experiences that you may never have known if you didn't join Americorp. I am sure you will love your next spike. It is hard to believe that it is your last location. The next 9 weeks will be something I think you will really love. Much Love. # 1 Mommy :)
Making Memories Having you with us will allow us to share the memories that were made on this trip over our lifetime. I am all about memory making and it was fun to do that with you and Jeff and Dad and Uncle Bob and Aunt Becky.. God worked out the timing of this trip to make it happen. It was a whirlwind and a lot of fun! Thank you God for this opportunity to share time together! Love you, Mommy
I knew it I knew you would love London. It is one of my favorite places. Jeff is lucky to be able to be submerged in their culture for a while. We are glad you are back safe and sound. Good luck with your next spike. (I like your Ode to Canada also) Love, Other Mother
Ode to Canada Your blog is great - now I know what to do if I have to speed through London. I really enjoyed your ode to Canada; I shared it with a guy in our office who is from the country to our north. I await his comments; I'm sure he'll be touched.
Hard to believe Nicole, One adventure ends and another begins. Sounds like life. Can't wait to see you (and the rest of the family) in London town. I hope you're not too pooped out from all your travel to enjoy it. Sleep a lot on the plane. See you soon. Love Ya.
Pops
London's awesome Can't believe you are done with your Florida spike. You sure made the most of it though in and out of AmeriCorps. Have a safe and terrific spring break. You should absolutely love London.
Love, Your Other Mom
Happy way belated Birthday I'm finally taking time to read my emails. It's always cool to hear of your adventures. It makes me want to be young again. I'll try to stay young at heart though. Full Sail is where Amy's brother-in-law and friends have gone to school. They learned a great deal and loved the experience. Enjoy London. May the Lord keep watch over you. Love, Aunt Nettie
