bigger things soon enough



I am here. Home. {Home?} The title seems to fit alright, but I also feel like a stranger in my own skin. I woke up this morning disoriented and confused in the red room at Grandma's house and immediately went back to bed when I couldn't decide what to do with myself. I feel like I should be jumping right into things but I also feel like I need a minute to catch my breath.
I don't have answers to questions like what am I going to do now? What about a job? When does school start? What would I like to do with the day? What would I like to eat? ? ? I don't know. I just don't know.

so instead of facing the bigger of those questions, my parents and I went and bummed around Park City for the afternoon.

I'll tackle the bigger things soon enough.

For now, it just feels good to be with my parents, breathing in the fresh mountain air, trying my hand at beating gma at cards and getting rid of the monster that I was passing off as the hair on my head. {Jackie - my head thanks you for parting it with the shaggy beast}




something to be noted: I posted this entire post in the same amount of time it would have taken me to upload just ONE picture with the internet on the ship!!

Jenna...welcome home and congratulations again on the wonderful summer adventure. That initial odd, disjointed feeling; that feeling of being out of time and out of place (as you so aptly described it...being out of sync with your skin) is just another tangy moment of life to savor and add to your incredible collection. You are so nanosecond-sensitive that you savor all of life as God gives it to you. Like one of my favorite songs you are a "beautiful girl in a silver pool of light".

Dear Jenna:
I just to tell you how much I have enjoyed your blog. It gave me an idea about your adventures on the USNS Comfort. My son, Graham, is an enlisted Personnel Specialist on board and didn't give me many details! Thank you for making me feel more connected.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. You sound like a wonderful child of God.

We're so glad you're back on dry land - have you gotten rid of the sea legs?

You have experienced a wonderful new adventure this summer and shared it with us, so that we almost felt like we were there. You have an excellent way of story-weaving and such beautiful photos, to illustrate the beautiful things that you saw and did. Thanks for a great summer!
