If you read my blog, you may remember I was planning a return trip to Cambodia to attend my friend Ratha's wedding. That would have been at the end of August.
I ended up cancelling that trip. I also cancelled a mini-triathlon I was training for around that time. I rescheduled photo shoots, stopped blogging, and basically dropped out of life for a few months. I took that time to simplify my life. I was exhausted from always living life at full speed, doing things that weren't always best for me, but for others. I got over my fear of disappointing others and saying no. I spent less time on the computer and more with my kids. I reconnected with my husband and realized that a strong marriage must come before EVERYTHING else. Yes, that's a biggie.
One thing that will always be important to me is going on missions. Water, food, shelter, my husband and family, a good job, and humanitarian work...see, it ranks right up there on top.
With that said, my gypsy feet have been itching to travel again. So a few months ago, I signed up to serve another dental mission. This trip will be for 3 weeks, leaving mid-April. Words cannot express how excited I am to go again.
Guess how mean I am? I am not even telling you where I am going! Not yet!! I am cruelly going to make you guess, and I'll divulge the location later on.
Leave a comment and tell me where you think I'll be going. And you can't guess if I've already told you! Here are three hints:
1. It is in Asia
2. It is not Cambodia
3. I'll need a warm coat and trekkiing poles
Oh, I've missed your blogging!! I hope that things are going well and my guess is Mongolia!
ReplyDeleteone of the "....etziscans"? LOL! I'm so excited for you! We are thinking of doing a family mission trip on North Vancouver Island in August. (MiChelle)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a guess, I just wanted to thank you for sharing what you've been up to over the last few months. Can't wait to see you again!

Doug and I are guessing Angola or Tibet. You are such a wonderful person Jess. It is amazing what you are doing for these people in another country. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Russia. Or wait, somewhere in the Andes mountains . . .
