have you ever seen an awesome roller coaster?
one that goes really really fast? and has loop after loop?
have you ever desperately wanted to ride a roller coaster like that?
remember the anticipation as you wait hours in line, slowly but steadily creeping towards your goal...
remember sitting down FINALLY in the car? remember how the bar comes down and your securely locked in? no way to slip out? tight in the grasp of the now moving cars?
remember how you suddenly doubted how much you really wanted to expericence the drops? the loops? remember how you wondered if you could somehow get out without making a fool of yourself? and remember how there was no turning back?
the ride of your life

Cryatal,I am thinking of you as you get on the bus tonight. At least we can stay connected (above the fog and the bog) through the world of the blog! Happy travels!
Blessings always, Dad A. xoxo

Hi Crystal,
I am so proud of you for taking this step of obedience and launching out into the great unknown to experience this adventure! Just remember - HE knows and He goes before you making a way for you - so you have nothing to fear!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers - I will miss those beautiful big brown eyes and that gorgeous smile!
Go for it and squeeze everything you can out of this experience - knowing there are people at home who have you forever in their hearts!
Love you,
Marsha

Just like life, full of ups and downs slowly climbing up, quickly flying down finally pulling up, just before the ground going so fast, spinning round and round
Round one loop, then round another
at the front, kids with poor mother they all scream, feeling happy and free. She is sitting there, thinking why me!

Still looking forward to your next entry, and hearing of your safe arrival in Vancouver.

From the opposite end of the continent!
