It's Mardi Gras!

Well I just got back from the Mardi Gras Pancake dinner at the First Church in Marlborough.  It was their fundraiser for our trip coming up on Feb. 23.  Cathy came with me and I have to say that we had a ball!  I am SO excited that she is coming with us this year.  I think that it is going to be such a wonderful experience yet again this year.  I can't believe that it has only/already been a year since I went down last.  Many of the people I met on last year's trip I feel like I have known forever instead of just one short year.  

On Sunday Jamie will dedicate Cathy and I on our adventure.  It is such a blessing to know that our entire church family will wish us well on our adventure!  What a different feeling I have going on my trip this year.  Last year I was very anxious to travel to a different city to do who knew what for work with people I had never met before!  And this year I am very excited about this trip because I will be going with people I have come to know fairly well!  There will be new people in the group this year and not everyone who came last year is able to travel with us.  I am very excited to see Gary and Karen again as well as Carolyn!
