Quick note from my side of the equator

Hello all. I am not currently at home. My wonderful husband and I are in a town called Natividade da Serra where we are at a LAN House checking up on the world. Hello world!!!

We have not yet returned to our own home since the need for our travels came up a couple of days before we were thinking about moving back inthe house. When we return from here we will do a clean up and move back in our own home!!! WOO HOO!!!!! It has been over 3 months since I have slept in my own bed. Ah well, this is my life and I do love it.

Before we left Caraguá, I did ride my bike for the first time. I am now truly Brazilian. Dad dropped me off in town and I paid some bills and then I rode the bike back to the parents house. It is not close to town. I lived and it was fun. I even had to put the chain back on as it slipped off.

Well, not muchis going on here besides the house and not being home.

Hugs and love.

(Licks to those who understand.)

The internet is up and running but I am a bit on the blink...

Hello to those of you who do still frequent my page and those of you who subscribe to a reader to know when I have posted. It is nice to see you here again. Sorry it has been a while since my last post. The internet has been unkind and red tape has strangled me at moments but there is now a broadband connection at my parents' home where I can now post with little to no problem. Now my only excuse will be life in general.

Speaking of life in general, it is not in the total realm of normal. My parents' have returned from their jaunt to the US (I was not part of this trip despite false sightings). With their return one would normally pack their things and return to their own home, but not me and W. Our home became infested with ticks, rendering it a not so livable location for me. Let me tell you, I did melt down and I am still not in a great mental place because of it all. I haven' seen the light at the end of the tunnel in the return to the Director's home. Please keep this in your prayers cause I need my home and I lost the rhythm of my life and it will be a struggle to get it back. W and I are still in residence at my parents, and I thank my Lord that I have a place to stay while those little vermin-pest-evil things are being killed by my husband spraying pesticide in and outside the house. I was so super stressed and still am even with the return of my parents. That which could go wrong probably did go wrong while my parents were traveling. The little stuff that is.

Life is in an odd rhythm because I don't feel like I have my own. I am struggling with self-pity as you can see. I covet your prayers. I do hope to return to the home soon. Please also pray for my church here. There are issues just as any church has issues but our are are a big scale right now.

I have tried to upload some new pics in flikr so they should be showing up in the side badge thingy and on my page there.. Sorry I am not keeping y'all in the loop so well.

I will end with saying I love you all. You folks in my "Within 20 years" group, you are about to only have 19. Get to work. hehe.

Love and miss you all.
