Merry Christmas Peeps !!!!

Oh, Rose....I'm so sorry. I hate it when someone get's let down. I promise to make my way over soon. I think with the holidays it's been hard to make it to everyone's reports. I hate that I haven't made it to either of the Cheri's PTR but once or so, and same with Liesa's, it's hard to keep up. It certainly doesn't mean we don't care. Hope your all having a wonderful holiday with your loved one's! Blessings from my home to yours.


Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Hi Jordan! I just realized that I hadn't seen an update from you in a while... then I remembered you finished part 2! Ooops... so here I am subbing & I'll have to catch up later. Thanks for the links!

Merry Christmas!

and same with Liesa's, it's hard to keep up. It certainly doesn't mean we don't care.

I noticed that...



j/k no worries, Camille! Seriously! There are so many I'd love to be on, but can't do it with the quality that I want to. For me it's either all out or not so much!

(would love to have you, though, when you do come over)

I'm sorry I've been MIA lately. I'm preparing for a youth retreat that starts tomorrow. I've giving 4 talks over the next 3 day to middle high/high schoolers. I've been preparing those talks and can't do that and DIS at the same time.

I'll be out of touch over the next 3 days, but back on Monday or Tuesday.

I'll have a few updates to post. Christmas pix and my budget for spending on the trip that seems a bit high. I'll be asking for more opinions......

Miss you guys. Pray that God will speak through me to these youth I'll be sharing with. I'm kind of nervous.

 

[All7OfUs]

Don't be nervous, Jordan!! He's put you in this place for this time, and has given you a message esp. for them.

Enjoy a fun time with the kids- they need someone like you to speak into their lives!

Talk to you in a few days.

[Blueyed Girl]

We will miss ya over the next few days! But I agree, God put you in this particular place for a reason. Don't be nervous. You will do just fine.

See you when you get back. Can't wait for the updates!

Silly lady. It is hard to get to everyone's reports when we have such fun bantering back and forth here!

I'm sorry I've been MIA lately.

We miss you too! No worries Jordy, we knew this was a busy time for you....give up the nervousness about speaking, you'll do an amazing job! Just be your self, don't bring up your drinking binges while vacationing, your "pimping," and chonies talk on the DIS, and I think you'll be fine. Hee Hee, I couldn't resist.

In all seriousness....I pray that God will grant you abundant favor...and for Him to speak straight through you. I pray the spiritual hearts, minds, ears and eyes are open to the things the Lord wants to speak to each and every one of the young people there. I pray for the Lord to bless your heart and mind to receive everything He wants you to hear and in turn speak out. Be blessed and know the Lord is well pleased with you and loves you Jordy.
It doesn't get much better than knowing no matter what we do or don't do concerning the manners of heaven ....He's pleased with us and we always have His love.

 

[winkers]

Jordan, I know you will be awsome! I'm sure those kids all love you as much as we do.

I frequently have to give talks to teenagers and I find it alot easier than adults.

 

[vamassey1]

I have all the confidence in the world that you will be great! But just to be safe I'll say some prayers too!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Jordan!
I did this and then read your posts through the links.
I hope the retreat is going well.
I think all of your dining choices are grand!
It's good to know you did get caught up on some sleep.
Has anyone given you any good themes yet? I was thinking pics with/of CMs throughout the parks. Have them do the tongue thing with you.


That didn't sound right but you know what I mean.

 

[reelmom]

Praying for you and the youth at the retreat.

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Jordan, hope you are having a blast at the retreat! Just relax and the message will come through. I have no doubt you'll do awesome

 

[bumbershoot]

I finally delurk, and the host is away? Drat.

I've been reading, it took me WAY too long of popping in and out of various reports of yours to finally finally figure out the peeps thing. See, I'd read EvilGenius's CB thread all about peeping her very odd co-worker a year or so ago, so I kept looking for Peepstm.

But no, you've been doing what my hubby sort of does, when he sees someone across a room, and yells "your mom???" at them. Half Korean, don'cha know, and he can always spot an "ethnic brother", as one of his ethnic brother's he had *just* met said. He can usually spot an ethnic sister. And then they'll talk about Margaret Cho a bit...

I told him that you take pix with your peeps, without them knowing, and he cracked up. He likes to meet his peeps too much to take covert pix! And he likes stunning his full Korean peeps by speaking Korean, and having them ask...yep..."your mom?".

Our new teammate that just joined us is Japanese-American (1st gen. immigrated to the US 20 years ago) and doesn't pronounce r at all. "World" is "word". I guess the r/l combo must be hard??

There's just no sound like those in Japanese. It would be like me trying to do the "click" in that click language in Africa. Actually not like it, b/c I could NEVER do it, but many Asian-born people can learn L and R. Not my MIL, but...

My name will be Mark when I visit Japan.

Now how is Maakoo any different? Or Madakoo as my Japanese teacher might have said it unless I'm misremembering? I think I might be confusing it with how MIL would say it, as I'm forgetting all my Japanese-related skills. Though I was talking about taipuuraitaas with hubby the other day, and he didn't believe me when I said it was "typewriter".

Anyway, you wonder why your parents named you Jordan....my MIL named her kids Paul, Robert (my hubby), and Viola. Oh and I'm Molly which in many ways she's not happy about. We are all a challenge. Though we kindly named our son Eamon, which is eh (like the Canadian "eh" but longer)-mun (not like Amen, I know all of you guys of a certain religion are thinking that...but we aren't of that persuasion, hubby being Korean Buddhist and me being...yeah let's not get into that), anyway it's the ONLY name she can say easily, woo for us for making something easy!

But all that aside, I have PROFOUND respect for anyone who comes to this country and learns enough English to have a conversation. Kudos!!!)

Seriously.

Judy got upset with me because she didn't want to use the Tide because of our oldest daughter's allergies...she wanted me to use the Purex "free and clear" or whatever it was, that she had bought.

Yeah, Tide is harsh for an allergic person. Even when I'm otherwise fine, I can barely make it down a detergent aisle, and Tide still stands out in the aisle. It's strong and itchy and it stays in clothes for wash after wash. Shuddering here... We used cloth dipes and I bought a couple from someone who'd used Tide....had to wash them repeatedly for days before it was gone!

.. because things like car seats and other stuff count as baggage too. Sigh.

Carseats and strollers...shouldn't. What airline? Are you checking them at the gate? Or before? Check them at the gate...they shouldn't be counted as baggage. Oh wait, Airtrain? I think I've heard of that happening with them. But we've gate-checked things on SW, Virgin America, Alaska, Jet Blue...no charges.

Alaska is still 1st bag free...hope that's still the case in August or there goes half the souvenir budget!

I severely hate to do this to you if you booked after May started...sorry....Alaska baggage page.

Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air passengers traveling on tickets purchased on or after May 1, 2009, will be charged $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second checked bag.

Everyone reads Jordy's!

Ayep!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Dan, hoping that you can join us in June 2012. I know you had talked about October of that year....

it is still a posibility, juts have to see how things work out, we want a new camper for that trip so if candis parents dont have a trailer by then they can stay with us.

so we will see if i get a new one in winter of 2011, or wait and get a new one before a trip in oct of 2012

Oh man, I can barely keep up with ONE on a daily basis. Can you imagine how fast that PTR would go?? We'd be to 250 pages in 3 days!!

u would try and reply from something on page 1 and it would be closed

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Hey Jordan. Been gone a few days, but praying your retreat was a success.
