for the next 11 days...

I may be scarce around the Internets for the next few weeks! Any guesses why??

Here's a hint:

That's right, I am outta here!!! Leaving the U.S. for the first time EVER! So excited. If I have any readers in Seoul, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (I know I have several there!) or Beijing, maybe our paths will cross and I'll get to meet ya ;)

My mom and I are catching an early flight to San Francisco tomorrow morning, where we will meet my sister and then we will be off to Asia. The kids and husbands are staying behind--they could use your prayers! My parents have lived in Mongolia for 8 years now, so it's about time we get to see their world over there :)

If I do get to blog while I'm gone, well, won't that be nice! But, if I don't, I'm sure I'll have plenty to share upon my return--and hopefully a rested mind and spirit that renews my energies for everyday things that I do enjoy when I don't feel run-down and wiped out--like blogging. I am anxious about leaving my family, but I'm going to embrace the chance to think for just one person for a couple weeks, instead of five, if you know what I mean.

Be back soon!!
