My dad is not happy about this trip. Still. After all of these months of reminders and everything. He has tried to say that he can see me on a motorcycle.* He also asked me, "If I tell you I love you 20 times and really mean it will you not go to Australia?" My response, "You better love me!" End of conversation. He has also only recently seen my most recent body art and did not appreciate it, per usual. He blames himself for not giving me enough attention. If you knew my family you would know how hilarious this whole thing actually is. I love my dad, and I promise I don't intentionally try to scare him.
He really just wants me to go with other people and I can understand his perspective. What he does not understand is that I did not have anyone to go with me. Now there have been people who have said if I would have told them they would have saved up to go too. Oh well, too late, I'm going, kisses and hugs! I'm doing research, exercising caution, praying for protection and discernment. Other people are praying as well and let's be honest, what can be more powerful than multiple people praying for the same thing? Nothing. God is that awesome!!!
*Several years ago I asked my dad if he could picture my older sister driving a motorcycle and he quickly responded, "Yea!" and sort of chuckled. I then asked him if he could picture me driving one and he thoughtfully responded, "Nah. I can see you on a scooter." My jaw dropped and I laughed feeling kind of hurt. He tried to back-step and said, "One of those really cool scooters." That did not help. This has been an ongoing story of much laughter over the past few years. Every time I do something adventurous it comes up.
