wow. we leave for Ghost Ranch in 6 1/2 hours!!! I'm totally stoked. it's going to be really fun. the plan is to get to Denver tomorrow night. we're going through the Badlands so that's why we have to leave so much earlier tomorrow. then on Saturday we will drive to Taos and camp there two nights, just hiking around or shopping (hopefully both) on Sunday. we need to be at GR Monday afternoon. I'm kinda nervous for GR just because I always hate youth group unless I know people. and it seems that after every year I never see the people I want to the next time we go 'cause we never go the same time. I hope that there aren't a lot of kids there, since it's the last week that youth groups are going on I think that will be the case. I just can't wait to get there. it should be so awesome. my little bro has been on the phone with his girlfriend for 30 min. and it's so cute! I miss darek a lot. uh, I have so many presents to get. we found this really cool shop in Taos last year when we went through it & I think the stuff was kinda cheap there so I hope that we find it again. I would not mind living in Taos. not at all. I should remember to look for a job down there...
