I left cali to come back to new york friday the 2 and arrived in albany saturday at 12:15 am. This time i didn't have the comfort of a friend to travel with. It was very hard leaving home again, and all my family and friends. To tell you the truth I thought about the possibility of staying home. But some how God got me up those escalators, and on that plane once again. The first half of the trip seemed very fast. The plane from Sacramento to Las Vegas was running late, so instead of having my 1 hour layover like I thought, I had to run from one gate all the way to the other side of the air port to make it on the other plane to albany. I made it just in time. I believe I was the last passenger on the plane. After a very long plane ride i arrived in albany and was amazed by all the snow on the ground. Growing up in Cali is totally different than the way it is here. I quickly got off the plane and went to the baggage claim. I somehow managed to get all three of my bags and went and waited for someone from the school to pick me up. Finally, someone came up to me and asked if I was a student at Word of Life. I was so relieved because I was beginning to think they forgot about me, and I really didn't like the idea of spending the night in an airport. We got in the car and started heading back to the school. Before we got there she was nice enough to take me through the taco bell drive thru. It is open till 2 in the morning! That was my last real meal :) When I got to the school they literally just stopped the car and didn't help me at all with my bags. Picture this: A girl from cali, walking in all this snow, with three very heavy bags trying to drag them up steep stairs. And to top it all off the dorm was LOCKED! I panicked and quickly ran after the van, but i didn't get her attention so i called kate, hoping she would answer, and she did, thank the lord :) I got three hours of sleep that night because i had to be up for snow camp meetings... not fun!
Yesterday we started classes and sadly i slept through them. I don't no what was wrong with me but I had such a hard time staying awake. Today was better, I only fell asleep during one class, so I am getting better :)
Anyways, I just thought I would fill you in on my trip here. I need to get caught up on homework so i am not behind when snow camp starts.
I just want to say that I am very glad I am here. Yes I miss home a lot but I am learning so much about God and myself.
I will write more later :)

You carried all your things up those stairs all by yourself! Gee Wilikers.That's quite a feat! Aren't you glad you wore your boots? lol
I enjoy reading about your experiences there. As always; Thank you for sharing. It's like having a little window I can look through to see you. Probably 'cuz I can picture you doing what you write about. Like struggling up those stairs with your heavy luggage. Crazy...scary...& slippery I'm thinking. Thank God for Kate! I miss you soooo much, but am so thankful you are having this opportunity to grow into the woman God wants you to be. I love you Mic! Mom
I can't imagine you doing all that. Like your mom I can just see the picture of this all happening & I enjoyed hearing about it. It was a relief to hear from you. I miss you so much and I must say I am going thru much the same as last time. I know you are where God wants you to be and I also know that the opportunity that you are being given is awsome.
You will adjust to the time change again and you will be able to stay awake in class.
We had a great time with your cousins in WA. It was very cold and we even got some snow. Not like you but some. We are really looking forward to coming to see you soon. I love you and miss you sooooooo much. Take care of yourself. Love you Grams.
Hi Ky: Thought of something else!! I am sure that does not surprise you? They say that these type of experiences build character and I know from my own experiences that they are right. We must see the humor and laugh and grow from them that is what God wants from us even though at the time we wonder what this is all about. I love you and have a great day. Love, Grams
Kylie,kylie,kylie... you sure know how to keep me on my toes. Life is definitely not boring with you.:) But...growth is always a good thing!
I will blog more later, there is soooo much I want to share with you. Thoughts that have been on my heart these past 24 hours. Dad wants to go right now though, we are having a date night. Yay!! So pumpkin... I will be back with my thoughts for you at another time.
I love you and am proud of the decision you made. Mom
