Beautiful Day

Today is a wonderful exciting day. Christopher is preparing to leave for his journey to Uganda where he will spend his life for the next 27 months. His primary focus will be math tutoring to the professors there along with hiv/aids education and overall wellness for the Ugandan community. We have been trying to squish all the favorite "American" times within this past week, visiting Christopher's favorite restaurants and spending quality time with him before he leaves. It's quite a change of pace for the week since our family is usually busy in our own individual lives I feel as we don't take time with each other, so honestly it's weird to spend a whole week together focusing on spending time with each other and my brother. Anyways, he is about to embark on an exciting journey and I am glad we can support him. I bought him a personalized teddy bear with a t-shirt of him and I on our graduation. I got the package in the mail today.. and they forgot to send the bear! What are the chances! So-- I ended up with a mini sweatshirt- lol.. and now I'm waiting for them to put in a new order for the bear. It might be too late- but that's alright; mistakes happen. Well, Dinner is ready- and unfortunately I don't have time to write anymore. Hope all is well!

  1. Oh my goodness! I can't believe they forgot the teddy bear!!! Worst case scenario, Chris will get a cute little T-shirt with the picture of you two on it! :)
    Isn't it funny, when you actually slow down to "smell the roses" how odd it seems? I hope your family has a blessed last few days with Chris! I'm sure the 27 mo. will fly by but it seems like a really long time right now. No doubt he'll be an awesome teacher.

  2. Thank you Mary Ellen!! :) He is leaving tomorrow already Wow!! I thought how awkward would it have been if he received the mini sweatshirt and he lived miles away and I couldn't tell him there was supposed to be a bear with it Lol :):) life is funny that way:)
