Wow its been a really long time!
I have good news and bad news.....the good news-We had a WONDERFUL vacation in Tunesia...I will have to post many pictures of that another time...we stayed in a resort-but we took many excursions to the cities around and we climbed sand dunes, went on a jeep ride through the Sahara and even went on a camel ride in the Sahara Desert!...it was definitely exotic....and some parts were definitely 3rd world and reminded me of Peru a little bit...but we always felt safe...
the bad news-well after we got back from our vacation, we received bad news that Christians dad was in the hospital and not doing well...(I never posted this but he has been fighting Lung Cancer since March 2006)...well we went straight from the airport with his mom to the hospital...crazy considering it was already night time!...the next day we were moving out of our apartment at 8am!...we didnt sleep much considering I was still packing boxes......well we got through the moving day with help of a lot of friends and everything was in our new apartment but a disaster everywhere!...we had lunch all together-went swimming in our pool and then christian got a phone call that his dad died. Talk about shock or what...we were planning on visiting him later in the hospital, but it was too late. The night before was the last time we would ever see him again. He had received so much medicine and chemo and everything that it made his heart weaker-so his dad had a heart attack and died. It was supposed to be the happiest day for us to have a nice new apartment-and instead it was a day of horror...so I am home now with my family-but its not easy knowing that I am not able to be there for my husband while he is going through this. He is very close with his mom though and so I know they need this time together alone even without me there. Just pray for them as I know his mother does not know the Lord and so I am not sure how she is dealing with this. Everything always comes at bittersweet times for me it seems.
well on that note...its hard to talk about anything happy anymore in this post after sharing that news...
I am home though and would love to see some of you...the time is flying by as usual...
