There is no place like home!

Home...... "Mommy, when will we be home?" That was the question we heard oh, about 1,000 times over the past 3 weeks. To Annie, home is where you will be sleeping. Hotel, friend's home, Grandma's home, Aunt's home, it didn't matter where, it was still home to her. I guess that is the life of an MK. She is soooo flexible and after traveling a total of about 65 hours in a car or on a plane over the past 3 weeks I would say she is very happy to say, "WE'RE HOME!!!" Our kids are great travelers and it is a good thing! We had a great time while in the States! We saw a lot of people we had not seen in a long while. We saw old friends and a lot of family! If we didn't get to visit with you, we will do our best to do that next year while we are on Stateside assignment, or furlough. ( We should be back in the States in July 2009)

Ya know as much fun as we had and as much as we love the U.S. it is funny that coming home really is Mexico. I was a little worried about the kids because they did have a great time and I thought they would dread returning to our home here in Mexico. NOPE, they were sad leaving their grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins, but happy to return to our people here in the village. Please pray that as we try to find our routine again, that the kids would enjoy being home as much as they enjoyed being away. I will add some more pics soon, it just takes some time. That is one thing I don't have right now, as I am still unpacking. Love you all! Missy

Time Flies!

We are heading home. We are all kinda sad, but ready to go home at the same time. We had a great three weeks and saw lots of family and friends. We got great news that the comfy couch house in Texas was unharmed by Ike! Praise GOD! Please pray for us all as we will be flying all day today. We are tired and haven't even started our trip. Love you all, I will write more soon!

Back with my parents in Rock Hill, SC

Hi everyone,
We are now back home in Rock Hill visiting my parents for these last few days before we head back to Mexico. We had a great time with Greg's family and got to visit some old friends from Asheville on our way here as well. We have packed a ton of fun in the past 2 weeks and are excited about the rest of this week too!

We are going to see the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua tomorrow and hope to play at the park and eat more Chick-fil-a! Thanks for praying for our travels, we have had a wonderful time going from Rock Hill, SC to Asheville, NC to Anderson, IN to Asheville, and back to Rock Hill. That is a lot of miles! Thanks for praying!

More pics soon!

More Pics

Our neighbors in Asheville, visiting with us at church.

Our friend made traditional clothing for this Barbie and was trying to sell them for money. This little girl, Haley, wanted to buy the Barbie and then she wanted us to give it back to the little girl so her mom could could make the money and she could still have her Barbie to play with. How sweet is that?

These are our friends the Twiddys who we stayed with while in Asheville.

This is Annie's new friend Kelly who she got to know quite well!

The BP man

Only in America will the BP man pose for a picture. He would have done anything for us to come back to visit his BP! That's America!

Fun at the fair

The following pictures are of Jerod and Alex eating a cheeseburger on a stick, and jumping on a bungee - trampoline at a local fair. We are having a blast, did I mention that?

38 and looking 50!

October 1st was my 38th birthday and I wanted to thank all of you for your kind emails and warm wishes! I had a great day! Looking at this picture I look like I was turning 50, I don't like that at all! I am trying to add more pictures but it is not letting me so I will add some more in another post. My neice is reading this over my shoulder and says I am not being my "funny" self, so, I will try my best to be goofier! :o)

We have done nothing but have fun, laugh, and eat. Probably in that order. I will add the pictures to show what we have been doing because it will tell the story better than I can! Love you all! Missy
