i think i may have a slight case of ocd!
so today i really came to grips with myself and a slight problem that i have. i'm an obsessive planner - to the point where it sometimes drives me insane. i don't know if that's because i'm a product of my mother who is also a great planner or if that's because i've learned that without a well thought out plan, you waste a lot of time. i even had my father-in-law tell me, "you don't like to go anywhere without a plan do you?" to which i said, "who does?"
for example, we're going to italy in less than two weeks and i have no idea what's going on. i don't know what time we're leaving, when we're getting there, what i need to pack, how much money to bring, where we're going on our free days, what kind of shoes to wear, what kind of food to bring, etc, etc. i feel like i can hardly enjoy the anticipation because i'm freaking out!
i've quickly learned that there are a lot of people that enjoy "flying by the seat of their pants" so to speak, but as for me - i have every detail planned and i like it like that!
i'm sorry to those that i've driven up a wall with my obsessive compulsiveness.

I learned everything from your father. He says to read and meditate on Proverbs 3:5 AND Philip 4:6. I say it's a good idea to read what God has to say, and then put your plans on paper for the important stuff and leave some margin to be impulsive.
We're so excited that God has provided this opportunity. Enjoy it ! ! ! xoxoxox Mom
don't forget a plug adapter. If you have a AAA office, you can get lots of your questions answered and international travel tips.
Well said.
