Scrappy: Munich Snapshots

Next Saturday, May 8th, I leave for a two week trip to Bolivia. It will be a service-learning experience and I'm sure that I will learn so much while I'm there. Traveling is something that I've talked about before, but I feel that traveling and experiencing other cultures is one of the best ways to know yourself and others in a more meaningful way.
The only problem is my fear of flying. I always get nervous about two weeks out from a trip that requires air travel and this upcoming trip was no exception. I've had a couple of panic attacks just thinking about the flying, but last night I had a dream and I am much calmer already. I don't remember all of the dream or have any clue why or how I had this dream, but I'm so thankful for it and the peace that I feel.

This layout was created with an older kit from My Scrapbook Nook a couple of weekends ago when they had a fabulous crop! The challenge was to scrap a photo taken outdoors and I really love this picture. It was taken while I was in Munich a couple of summers ago and was having the time of my life! This picture reminds me that flying is worth the adventure on the other end of the flight.




Do you have any fears? Or have you had a fear that you've overcome?
How do you handle situations that you are afraid of?

PA Ren Faire

This past weekend Wes, YT, and I travelled up to Pennsylvania to see Lee perform at the PA Ren Faire. It was a spectacular place. It was a very large venue with many many stages and different shows. We barely saw half of what they offered. On Sunday we made a side trip over to Hershey and went to the massive store o' chocolate. I'm not huge on candy or chocolate and it was pretty much the same as when I was there 2 years or so ago. I'd like to go back one day when the park is open, but that is the only reason I would go back. 

On the way back we stopped off in Gettysburg and took a very watered down, quick tour of the battlefield. I would love to go back someday and spend more time in the area. 

I'm meeting with my advisor tomorrow afternoon and will discuss great topics such as international study, graduate assistantships, taking time off from school to do mission work, and possibly going back to school full time in the spring. It will be quite interesting. 

I guess the next few weeks will be a time of contemplating and decision making.
