sometimes you get so far behind, you begin wondering if there is really any point in writing ALL that has passed... so before i get to that point, here is a catch-up blog:
ok, we got packed.
but only after we received the WHOLE youth group to our home for an all day/all night event (thursday). they set up camp in our front yard, but i bailed at 11:30 since we had another 3 big events before the international trip on Monday...
Friday we headed to SAO PAULO for PASSION. amazing. there were over 2,000 university students from ALL OVER Brazil together to worship. it was also incredible getting to spend time with Soraya, Vitinho and Pedro, dear friends that we went with to PASSION. (http://www.268blog.com/)
yada yada yada
so we landed in DFW last Tuesday night after 14 hours of delay...
and since then have been to Midwest City, OK, Belton, TX, Granbury, TX, Fort Worth, TX, Abilene, TX. it's been refreshing and encouraging to be with ol' and new friends and churches and family thru all the trips!
in Abilene it's been extra special, since my family has been together during the last few days before Paul's wedding. we've treasured this time, but are thrilled to be receiving beautiful Brooke as a new family member! tomorrow we head to Fort Worth, TX, for the pre-wedding/wedding activities, and on Saturday we go to Austin, TX, to spend time with good'ol goudeaus and mom's family.
well, i think that's it in a nutshell.
we really, REALLY miss Buckeye! (there is a friend living in our home and caring for her.)
we've stuffed our faces with gringo food for the past week - mexican, burgers, cookies, pancakes...yummmm! (and yes, we can feel the diference)
and we are really excited about getting 2 weeks in OHIO still!
we'll post pics next. =)
loving it all!

Since when is Mexican food gringo food?! LOL!!! Glad you guys are having a good time but I feel all left out way up here. Cannot wait to see you! Mom/Aunt Claudia is buying the tix in a few days I think...
Don't forget to drink your weight in Dr. Pepper while you guys are there! Okay...that may not be for everbody but that's what I do when we go back to the states for a visit. And go ahead and eat spicy food at least once a day in honor of our family. Hugs to your family from us. Have a great trip! Kevin
