thanks everybody

well, here's what: i think it's really neat that all of you post things on your blogs that make me laugh and think and learn. and i like that you all have a sense of humor and that we can all pick on each other a little, and take a joke. and i knew that i was taking the risk of being mocked when i posted something so personal. but there was no mocking (except a little bit involving ryan kile, but that was pretty well-deserved and totally fair) and there was only support and friendship and a Go Ducks, which is more encouraging than one might think, by the way. so just wanted to say thanks everybody for what you said, and let you know that everything is working out just fine with leo, it was just a misunderstanding like you said. and i am excited to share that i am moving forward with making plans to visit in the summer. sandra asked me to come prepared with a project that their theater ministry could work on together, and use during their evangelistic campaigns in the summer. so that will be great, and i've already begun to talk with Manuel about what kind of project will work well. we'll see what happens next. let the sarcasm, mocking, and picking-on re-commence!
