At my goodbye party my friends wrote little nuggets for me to take along for the journey. I was trying to hold out for the drive to start reading them, but boredom got the best of me. Now, not only does my stomach hurt from the Group Power class mom and I did this morning, but I've been laughing uncontrollably for a few minutes. Thought you cyber-readers might enjoy a few of these little tokens as well.

I know God is calling you back to school and I know that He is going to use you there in BIG ways! Remember to keep Him close to your heart always and not to be afraid if He is calling you to do something, His ways are so much better than ours. -Sarah

We will miss you again, b/c you enjoy leaving, then coming back, then leaving again. Next time just stay will yah! -Reid

Keep persevering until you have accomplished the dream that God put in your heart. -Tamara

I'm glad I'm your best friend out of everyone, you don't have to tell anyone, but we know. Don't fall in water - cause that would make you cold and that would be sad. -James

Eat your veggies.
Brush your pearly whites.
Send us postcards =)
Protect your knees.
Come back please, Love you! -Janna

My 1st bit of advice: keep it real.
My 2nd bit of advice: don't go chasing waterfalls.
My 3rd bit of advice: if the food is delicious, eat it, if not, eat food that is.
Amanda is the best substitute teacher ever. First class, my friend, first class. -Matt

I was going to tell you something that would encourage, inspire and uplift you ... then I lost my train of thought. -Paige

Top 10 Things to Look for on a Road Trip
10. Road kill; especially ones that can be used for a quick dinner. Check for warmth.
9. Mooners; the only way to get rid of them is to moon them back.
8. Pot Holes; no one wants a broken axel, or to unexpectedly pee their pants (use the bathroom every time you stop for gas)
7. Wildlife; if it looks human, drive faster (after you take the picture).
6. State troopers/mounties; the ones with mustaches can be bribed with beer.
5. Caravans; this would not be a good point to pass.
4. Rest stops; sustenance and rejuvenation.
3. Cow crossings; these can become mandatory rest stops. Feel free to use the car door as a bathroom stall.
2. Tourists; enough said.
1. Hitchhikers; if they are carrying a body bag, they may just need help burring it!
