i have been walking a lot.
and i also only have 5 minutes left on this computer.
i just wanted to say hi.
i am potentially very excited about something, but i won't let this information out yet.
i also really want to upload pictures to this computer, but i'm scared about losing them, so i'm not going to deal with it yet.
if you want to know what i've been seeing, then go to google images and type in things like:
big ben
the london eye
harold's
buckingham palace
dali
and other things like that.
things have been fun.
i am excited for paris.
oh, and london people are nice, although i don't run across them too often.
this place is so culturly diverse it's absolutly out of control.
seriously, no one here was born here... i'm pretty sure.
and someone thought i was a local yesterday, he was from turkey and asked me directions.
then i said, "sorry, i have no idea" and he realized i wasn't a local.
he said i looked like a local, but i also looked like i could be from turkey.
i laughed and was on my way.
i wonder where i am from?
turkey? spain? italy?
who even knows!
one minute!!!
love,
j.

it has started!!!!!!!
so i am writing here from london, and i am on a PC so please excuse any spelling errors i could possibly make.
hello hello hello. sorry if you have not heard from me over the past two weeks.
they have been nothing short of amazing. seriously. i LOVEDDDDDD scotland.
it's beautiful there, and there are some pretty amazing people there.
diaries was on sunday night, in a theater in dundee called "whitehall theater" and there were probably about 500 people there. i'm pretty sure that the event was successful. it went amazingly, the scottish people did so so good dancing in it too. and remember, they just had 5 short days to learn the dances they were in that we had already known for months and months! it was great!
but just being there was great.
to think that i have wanted to go there for sooo many years and the time finally came. it was the perfect time too.
it was also fun seeing the scots that had come to florida but i haven't seen since i was a little girl such as annie, stuart, and paul (and others).
annie brought in pictres last night, because we pulled an all nighter at the gate,from the summer that she was living in my house. i was TEN years old.
i looked like a little baby.
so today the americans went back home, with the addition of sameer to the group, and they have lost me from the group. i was very very nervous when they were leaving, so i definitely teared up a little bit. it's scary though! but jesus is totally protecting me. it's sweet.
i met this amazing lady today in the glasgow airport, she was such a lifesaver.
her name is kay, and she is an older lady. she's been married for 31 years, has 2 kids, a son who is 28 and a daughter who is 26. and she lives in glasgow, but her husband works in london so they kind of fly back and fourth.
well, she helped me out so much in getting to my destination today.
she was going pretty much the same direction as me, so she helped me figure out the trains, and we also went on the undergound, and then bam, i was at the hostel, and i only had to do about 10 minutes of the traveling alone.
i checked into ace hotel in kensington, and went up to my room. as i quietly opened the door (because i was being careful because you never know who could be in there) to my horror i found three boys asleep in that room!
yep. i am sharing a room with 3 other boys.
now, there are still 2 free beds, so everyone needs to pray that we get some girls in there or i will feel so awkward in there!
but it's okay... i'm tough... and i'll try to be in there as little as possible. ha.
for a little while i wasn't feeling so brave about this trip, and i am still feeling a little nervous about it, but i am starting to think it'll be okay. i may get a little confused and mixed up here and there, but everything will be okay.
i will post pictures as soon as i can on flickr.
that's if i didn't leave my camera cord in scotland, i don't think i did... but it could definitely be at the very bottom of my bag.
i am almost out of time on this computer for today.
until next time.
love,
janelle.

it's finally time.
i am finally taking the trip that i have been waiting for since i was about 14 years old.
it has been a dream of mine, and i even set it as a goal for the year, to go backpacking in europe.
at the beginning of this year i made it a goal to go backpacking THIS summer.
then some financial issues came to play because of school/living situations and i thought the trip would have to wait another year. boy was i bummed.
but Jesus knew my heart.
now, this tuesday, i am going to scotland with a group of wonderful friends from church to perform diaries. it won't just be dancing, but it will be ministry, and i'm so excited.
and i'm really REALLY excited about seeing annie again. i haven't seen her in what-- like 7 or 8 years?! dang.
then after my wonderful friends leave and come back home, i will be staying in europe and traveling to some wonderful destinations that i have been longing to see and experience for many many years.
yes, i will be by myself, but it's going to be so wonderful and i am so excited.
the line up after scotland is as follows:
london
paris
belgium
germany
switzerland
italy
and ending in barcelona.
exciting times.
man, i am totally living life right now.
it's time my friends! it's time!
