very rarely am i speechless. i can usually write and put things into word pictures extremely well. well the last 5 days, 
i have been unable to speak, my breath has been taken away, and not even a million words or a thousand pictures could capture the beauty that i have seen the last week.
i went to visit melissa wright over in kandern, germany. i was happy enough that i was getting a break and time to re
lax in a small german town, and getting time to catch up with an amazing friend, but little did i know that in those 4 days, i would go places i never dreamed 
or even imagined being. 
God seriously blessed me 
beyond what i could ever thank Him for and gave me experiences that i will truely never forget. i am not impressed easily, but this last week was speechless, and like a wide eyed kid in the biggest candy store ever.
it once was every new place i went was the newest "most beautiful place ever!",
but after having been to all of the u.k, eastern and western europe, australia and
the like, i am realising that i couldnt ever pic just one place, and that each place is unique in beauty like no other. my goodness,
my heart is so thankful and i am so grateful for the experiences that God has given me. i cant even 
fathom what i have done in my 25 years.. 
little once shy shawnda from gresham, oregon, has done what? even i have to just look at my life and just fall to my knees in thanks to God. i have over 300 pictures that i took this last week, but only am going to post a moderate few. melissa, (i love you, melissa), took me all over germany, to villages,
vineyards and castles in france, and to amazing towns in switzerland
and we ended up in the alps!! i still am in shock. so i am going to stop writing and give God all the glory and praise. we serve a very good, King. He alone deserves the praise, glory, honour, majesty and splendour and thanks.. my goodness.. wow.

So jealous! Germany is on the top of my world travels list. :)
Shawnda! great post. :-) I love you dear girl! HUGE blessing to me to see you and to be able to show you some of my corner of the world. :-)
Hey, Shawnda, it is great that you were able to travel and see those wonderful things!
I DO like Melissa's little town! And it is so close to France and Switzerland... and the COUNTRYSIDE is WONDERFUL! Checking out your traffic camera pictures...you must live in the FAST LANE ON WHEELS! I think this was a great scenic tour for you, eh? Mary Wright (Melissa's mom in Rockwood) :-)
Hey Shawnda, you world traveler you! What an amazing trip. Germany is one of my favorite places in the world. Sometimes the terrain reminded me of Oregon. Can't want to see and here more. Sounds like you'll be in town this summer?
