Loved this

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New  Jersey .  He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.  His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: 

 Dear Vincent,  I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.  Love,  Papa  

A few days later he received a letter from his son. 

Dear Papa,   Don’t dig up that garden. That’ s where the bodies are buried.  Love,  Vinnie

At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.  That same day the old man received another letter from his son.  

Dear Papa,  Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now.  That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.  Love you, Vinnie

...only time will tell...

So I've been reading this blog that I just discovered... and it was like I couldn't stop reading it... I had to read from the beginning all the entries to get the full story... It was a rainy day out today so I didn't feel bad about be cooped up inside all day reading this blog... I just wanted to know what was going to happen next it was just so intriguing. A lot of the blog is about trips to Hawaii and I can't tell you how much it made me miss the big Island of Hawaii'- It is so beautiful there !!Here are a few pics from places I visited!

Since I am currently not working.. well I took a trip to Texas-met some amazing people, then had a Leaders retreat for Young Life at Timberwolf Lake and now its been 4 days of no work and I am so bored... I don't know what to do with my self.. I am in this waiting period to see what is next in my journey of life... There are a few options on the horizon.. just waiting to see how it plays out...

So I was sitting watching the storm last night and I got to thinking that I haven't written an update in forever. So here it goes...

For those who don't know I moved from Williams, AZ and was headed to Texas but it ended up not working out in the end. I am back in Michigan. Spending some much needed time with family. I've been home for almost a year now. Its been hard, fun, and crazy. When I first got home I didn't understand why I was back in Michigan. But as time went by it became really clear why I am not in texas but here. It has been a whirl wind of a year in my family. I feel the closest I have ever been to my brother and sister which has been awesome. I've spent way more time in hospitals than I ever want to.. Between my dad and my grandpa who are both doing good now its been crazy... I will be happy if I never have to see the inside of a hospital room again-well at least for awhile. But I am so thankful that I was home and could be here for them. My brother got a puppy Boxer- he's not so little any more but he is still cute as can be... Enough on that -

This year I have been working at Target- which has been interesting. Its been fun but I have started to look for my new adventure. When I left AZ I was so set on CCM that I wasn't open to anything else. I was so sure that I was going to Texas that when it didn't happen I was kind of lost. But now I have a whole new outlook and am again pursueing this dream of mine and as of right now I am pursueing about 5 different options that as I get closer to finding the one best suited for me I will update everyone again. Until then I am just hanging out with family and working at Target, volunteering as a Young Life leader in my area. I finally got my passport which is exciting.. Thats it hope all is well with you-
