off traveling :)

today was a long day, but was a good one! steph and i got up sunday morning and went to church, then had lunch with the Petersen's, and then packed our bags for the SQ trip to Belgium. We stayed up the entire night, and left at 2am to drive down to DFW airport in Dallas (a 3 hour drive). We arrived there late (cause we left late) and just made our flight. We flew into New York and arrived there just after 12pm. We have now been up nearly 24 hours (minus a few on the plane) but we are in New York City. We dropped of our bags at the hotel and took the subway to downtown. We saw the statue of Liberty, ground zero of the former World Trade Center buildings, the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Trump International Tower, Times Square, and a host of other cool buildings and sights in NYC. And we did it all on no sleep and in about 4 hours. It was just me, steph, jen and kristin. We then met up with kent and emily and had a little leadership meeting and now it's time to hit the hay. We pick up all the athletes for the Belgium trip at the airport tomorrow and then we fly over to Brussels, Belgium around 6pm. It potentially could be my last trip with SportQuest, and it's kind of bittersweet. I'm really excited for the trip and what is going to happen. Please pray for us and for the people in Belgium if you remember. I probably wont be able to post while i'm gone so dont worry if more than a week passes, i'll eventually be back. and I'll put pictures from the trip to NYC and from belgium when i get back and am able to post. bye!!
