I've been world traveling. Not that I write consistently when I am here. Arizona was awesome. Sometimes I raise my expectations too high and then end up in a let down. Arizona was more than I thought it would be. Se dona was amazing...slide rock. Got home and starting looking through a magazine about vacations and slide rock was one of the suggested places to visit. Done that! I miss the kids on the rez already. So here we go, a list of all the things I miss about the rez.
1. Pulling up in the van to pick up kids and watching little kids pour out of windows, doors, backyards and such.
2. The view.
3. The smiles on the court.
4. The multiple opportunities to share Jesus Christ.
5. Running at 6000 feet.
6. Did I mention driving the kids around.
7. Being looked at as the minority.
8. Sleeping on an air mattress. Just kidding!
9. Josinia, Nadia, Tesha, Shafawn, Xavier, Thea, Tristin, Delmer, Ray and Sarah.
10. Aurthur, Shandy, Sharlimar, Jade, Dejah, Keenan, Darien, Jalen, Jamie and Darwin.
11. Packing 25 people into a 15 passenger van.
12. Taking off road 4-wheel drive trips up and down muddy slopes with a 2-wheel drive van. It is amazing what you can do with 15 people in the back two seats.
13. Hanging at the Kennel.
14. The rock jump at Se dona.
15. Driving all over the rez with a van full of kids.

16. Sequoia and her new chubby bunny named Ross.

I am already looking forward to next year and have it on my calendar. I hope i can get back there before that just to hang out for a few days. Until then i promise to stay in touch.
