Gettin ready

I had my appointment with the specialist and it seems that nothing is wrong with me. Weird. So now I am off the meds and totally in the clear to travel to India. Even after hearing the good news I was still uncertain that I was really going away, but after paying my final installment last night at church I can now feel free to get really really excited. Oh.... I am SO thrilled about this trip. It feels like I'm gonna burst. What's odd is that I can't pinpoint exactly what I am so excited about. I just want to see God do amazing things, not only in me and my team members, but in the people that I meet. That sounds so corny. Meh...

Anyways, last night I went to a goodbye party for Jason and Chuck and you'll never guess what happened on the way over. I was walking with Jon on Queen Street and guess who just happened to be sitting in a stretch SUV right in front of the restaurant?!! None other than Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys!! I laughed so hard I thought I would cry. If this had been 8 years ago I would have been overjoyed to walk by his car and maybe, just maybe, catch a glimpse of his fabulous blond mushroom cut hair. It's strange how things seem to change and yet they don't. I still felt a tinge of excitement about potentially seeing this person. It's like I still have remnants of my teenage fantasies still creeping around somewhere in my psyche. I never actually got to see him, no one would come back out with me to check it out. Too bad... if I had met him I think I really would have made an impression.
