I left u a message on my space answering the question about the differences effecting our marriage. I had to send it in sections because it kept erasing for some reason, so I sent it in chunks and copied ea. part as I finished. Therefore I have a complete copy and if it's not clear i can send it again, hopefully in one piece. It was great as usual to hear ur voice. I'm heading for the county office to apply for the passport in the AM. I received my birth cert. today and have all I need to apply. Now we need to search for the best flight. Do u think I should still leave the 14th. I'm also looking into renting a car. That would be a great convenience for us in many ways. Love, DAD P.S. I'm getting real excited, a little scared too, but God can handle that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Papi, I left you a message at the house - I got all dressed and ran down to the public phone to call you, but I forgot the number on the table in my room:( The door to the house makes too much noise and my host parents are going to bed so I'm not going to run back down tonight, but like I said on the message, I will call you in the morning around seven - that's around ten PM for you. Hope to talk to you then! I'll dream about it and call in the morning:)

call me on my cel. 831-706-6273, I'll be out of the house. Love, DAD

Im waiting patiently. Please call. I miss u and want to know how it's going. I have so many questions to ask. Cant wait to hear from u. I'll stand by. Just sittin here playin cribbage. Love, DAD

Hey Papi, I think I am going to walk into the center this evening and go to my cafe - have I told you I found a healthy, organiz cafe! The food is healthy at least, but they have good cappuccinos and FREE wireless internet! I am getting internet at the house, but it is not very reliable and it shut off last night when I was waiting for friends to wake up and get onlin - so tonight I think I;ll go there to be sure. Plus then I can explore this new side of town and navigate a route to school, PLUS it is a BEAUTIFUL day! It has been cloudy and rainy lately but today there are blue skies and it is calling me out to play! My feet still hurt and I think I am going to need to buy new and better shoes, but I will walk one more day in the old ones:) I will be calling from a public phone tonight(this morning for you) Any time is fine for me, but I should be done by seven my time - that's 10AM for you - it might be too early, but we eat earlier here, which is nice actually. i'll be online so when you wake up get online too and we can check in there - myspace is probably the place, it's easier. If 10 turns out to be too early I can head out to a phone after dinner! No problem papi! Hey, Camille, I want to call you too! Let me know when is good:) Love to all - and if anyone other than Camille and my dad are reading this stuff - LET ME KNOW! I'll write to you or maybe call you next time:) -Mikahla

Loved ur story of the Paris lights, the beauty of Paris at night. I look forward to seeing that sight soon. Let's talk in the AM my time, so let me know what time and the #. Gotta go to bed, I'm real tired, Love, DAD

Hey, I check this everyday along with "my space" and "dotphoto" It is alway so fun to find messages. It's my routine every morning and then late at night in case I find u online. Love, DAD P.S. So excite for your new living arrangement. It sounds like an answer to our prayers.

Hey guys, or maybe just Camille:) I put up two new journals! One is about yesterday and walking through wonderland, the second one is about my new home! I changed houses today and I am now out of that other place and all settled in here:) My host mom didn't handle the news so well and I didn't eat dinner or breakfast this morning just to keep away from her and after all the walking I did yesterday I am so past starving, but too exhausted to care! I didn't sleep much last night, maybe from nerves or thoughts of the move, but maybe also because she took to talking loudly on the phone in the next room over from mine until around 2 or 3 in the morning:( Plus she made me be out by nine this morning which made me have to wake up at 7Am just to get everything packed - I would have just done it last night if I knew I wouldn't get any sleep! But anyways, it is all over now and this place is so much better! Thanks for all the prayers, it is done now and I am so glad and grateful:)

hey, thanks! See now, isn't this fun? We are staying so connected!

Hey I read it when you update. Talk to you soon!

Hi everyone! I'm not sure how many people actually read this. If you are reading this now please post something - even just your name, a random word, or a number if you want - just something to let me know people are actually reading this. If no one is reading it then I won't worry too much about keeping it up to date, but if people are indeed checking it then I will check in more and write more as well. A couple of new things - I will be changing host families this next weekend! I am both nervous and excited about the move. I am hopefu that it will be a better situation than the one I am in and afraid that it might be worse. Please pray that it goes smothly and that God puts me with some good people:) The second thing is that I wrote a new journal entry! Love to all, Mikahla P.S. My father might get to come to Europe to visit me! It is a little bit last minute, but it looks like it might actually work out which would be insanely amazingly totally GREAT! Please pray that God give us all wisdom as to whether and when he should come and that the planning and packing and traveling all go smoothly - it will be his first trip to Europe and that can be kind of daunting:) Thanks for your prayers, they are very much apreciated!

Hey guys, my photo cable is on its way finally! I should be able to get all my Paris pictures up here or on dotphoto in a few weeks time! Sorry for the wait, I can't wait to share them with you all! love to all- P.S I have to go to the dentist this week - I have to find one first! Pray that I find a good one and that the visit goes smoothly and that I don't loose all my teeth:( O, and i may have broken my big toe:( Pray that it gets better soon - I need it, I walk soooo much over here! I walked for a total of about five hours yesterday!
