Is it really Monday? Because I have officially lost all concepts of time and dates. We are in the home stretch of our time in the States and have less than three weeks left (!!)
{one} We are currently driving back to Orlando from Nashville for our final big road trip.
And then, the crazy begins.
Please see evidence A:
Every dot on a day means we have a big event scheduled for that day- and we have yet to see so many friends! We are going to run out of time and I am dealing with some serious guilt issues about not being able to see everyone while we are stateside.
And you see those free dates? They are sacred. Considering we leave before the first of the year, our plates are full!
{two} We had the best time with my parents these last two weeks. Goodbyes were painfully hard but we are so grateful that we have supportive families that love us!
{Three} I have to brag on Grace for a minute. She is two and a half and not night potty trained but she just made a thirteen hour car ride only stopping to use the bathroom the two times we got gas and a meal and one emergency stop. Amazing!
She also likes to yell "Awkward!" At inappropriate moments, but that is a story for another day.
{four} We took the girls to see Santa at the Opryland hotel. The girls did great. Sophia just sat there with a face that said "Well, this is unusual," while Grace told him "ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!"
Then she told him that she wanted a trampoline for Christmas.
Keep dreaming, kid, because I don't think that's going to fit in a suitcase.
She keeps talking about seeing Santa and then gets all offended, saying, "Hey! Where is MY trampoline?!"
I'm thinking she also hasn't quite grasped the concept of asking and waiting.
Sorry the picture is off, will do a scanned one later.
{five} Ian's still job hunting for work overseas in Abu Dhabi but we still plan to leave right before New Years regardless. Crazy? Oh, yes. But we know we are supposed to be there so we just keep moving forward on faith.
It is a very stretching time though, having so much unknown before us. We would really appreciate your prayers right now.
