While You Sleep...
It is time for this night owl with heartburn to head off to bed. It's funny to be typing to two of my sisters who are both making dinner at the same time when it is so late here. Tomorrow I'll be posting more and slowly filling you in on adventures here while you sleep but for now elephant baby and I must go catch some Zzzzs. Goodnight.
Michelle,
I've been praying hard for you and hoping you are on the upside and will continue to be. Culture shock is so hard especially when we are away from family (and being pregnant doesn't help I'm sure). I'm just glad you are online now. WE leave tomorrow for AFrica till Aug 4th so you won't hear from me till then but I wanted you to know my heart is with you in your transitional stage. Praying for a safe, healthy, wonderful labor and birth.
Much love, Deitra
Hey Sweetheart. Evan and I have been off working(me) and attending(she) an arts camp at a University for our third year having fun. I, of course, was ready to come home and go back to parenting one teenager instead of 16. Evan wanted to stay longer. Big surprise. And the joy of getting back to a computer is increased by seeing your blog and hearing that you have survived. Not to diminish the tough pieces though. I know this is very challenging and difficult and you are in my prayers. I love the look of the house and can't wait to see it morph into Michelle world. You are a connector. You will make the connections you need. I have complete faith in that.
