Project Book

Well, it took long enough but I finally finished the picture book from the AIA Soccer Paraguay Project. You can sneek a peak by clicking on the link to the right. -->

hydration

So Brian has been in Nicaragua for a week now and I have been in NC for almost as long. I think I've had the better week. ;o)

However, both places have been ridiculously hot so we've both been drinking lots of water. Hopefully wherever you are, you're staying hydrated, too. And, if you're in Nicaragua with Brian, hopefully you're getting a little more to eat than rice and beans to eat now. ;o) I got to talk with Brian last night and heard about his very long weekend in Leon. Early Friday morning they took the AIA Nicaragua team (and the 4 North Americans that Brian brought with him) to another part of the country where they slept on a mat on a tile floor, played games in extreme temperatures, refused to use the disgusting showers more than twice, and were only fed rice and beans for 4 days. Poor guys :(. But I'm sure the Crusade headquarters where they are staying now feels like the Shangri La what with the cool/cold showers, beds, ceiling fans, and armadillo soup! JK. They pretended to feed us armadillo soup the last time we were there in February, but it was really just all the "left-over parts" of a pig.

Can't wait to see you Brian! Enjoy your last few days!

welcome back

This has been the busiest year of my life so far. Phew. Thanks for bearing with us, praying for us, and just being there.

Today marks the beginning of the last tour for Brian and the beginning of being able to relax for me. I dropped Brian off at the airport this morning (*sniff*) and came back to finish cleaning the house and packing my stuff to catch my red-eye tonight and be in Greensboro tomorrow morning!

If you don't know what we've been up to this summer, here's a quick run down:
-June 6 - July 6 -- Paraguay Project (Asuncion, Paraguay)
-July 8 - July 24 -- Men's Paraguay Panama Tour (Asuncion, Paraguay and Panama City, Panama)
-July 26 - July 31 -- Staff Conference (Whistler, BC)
-August 3 - 14 -- Brian in Nicaragua on tour and Becca to NC
-August 15 - 31 -- VACATION!

Be sure to check out our happenings in photos in our Flickr site (there's a link on the right of this page). I'm realizing more how much I love photography... and did my best to only upload the ones that are worthy of your time. I took almost 3,000 pictures in South America... and about 200 in Whistler. I'm so thankful for my camera! Hope you enjoyed your summer!
