My dad and baby brother picked me up from the airport last night. One of the first things my dad said to me as we were walking to the car is "you smell like a pickle." I love my family. We are so random :)
Our family has a few traditions; most are normal family-get-together traditions that other families have. But one tradition I LOVE is our Christmas Eves together. My dad gets our his guitar and we all go around the room and pick Christmas songs to sing together. My family has been blessed with musical talents, and it is soooo amazing to just sit in a room with them and all of us combine our harmonies :) *sniff* I will miss that. Which is why I am taking my guitar to Peru!! I am going to start this tradition in Peru as well, so as to bring a little of my home to there! I am horrible at playing guitar... but that won't stop me. Plus, guitar will give me something fun to learn in the off moments of cramming as much Spanish into me as possible. Eight hours a day for three months of Spanish... definitely going to be challenging! But bring it on :) Because I am so ready for this trip and everything it has in store.
Fund raising is coming along-- I was blessed with two more donations yesterday! God is SO faithful!
Well, I am off to more amazing family gatherings as I cram as much Christmas into me as I can to last the next two Christmases. Lots of pictures to be taken, carols to be sung, food to be eaten. Remember the reason we celebrate... Jesus has given us hope :) I am SOO blessed to have hope!
Until next time....
