iowa, here i come!

i am really looking forward to getting out of chicago.

i don't really need a break from work so much... i just need to get out of this city, to get on the road for a bit, to feel free, and to see my family. i miss them.

both of my grandmas have been having a rough time of it lately. for those of you with faith, pray with me for them.

i put shorts in my suitcase, for some reason thinking it will be warmer where i'm going. i want to frolic outside. the last time i really enjoyed the outdoors at all was in november, skipping rocks on a pond and running across a grassy... mound... i don't know what it was, but it made me want to run.

i also can't wait to talk to baby Goo! i love you so much, already, little one! last week Baby Goo was the size of a lime. what about this week? a lemon? someone tell me, are all of the size references to babies in different stages of pregnancy food related?

and to be in the prayer room... ahhh... yes.

sorry for my disjointedness. i'm quite tired. monday nights require me to (happily) deny my introverted nature, so i'm always a little groggy on tuesdays.

it will be a good time away. God is so good.
