STO LAT!

It's my hubby's 25th Birthday! :)




HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT! I LOVE YOU!

HOLY COW!

WOW....our summer team gets here in two days! What does that mean? It means that our time living alone here in Poland, doing our thing, enjoying life at a slow pace will cease to exist after Friday. It means that our two years here is quickly coming to an end. It means that my sister and brother-in-law will be here in 7 WEEKS. It means that we'll have to leave our friends and family here that we've grown so close to. It means that we'll have to say goodbye to this precious place, this city and culture that we love and have come to know as our "home." This is big...really, think about it....Scott and I have been married 29 months now. We've lived in Poland 20 of those 29 months. All of our "traditions" that we've started as a married couple...Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, BOTH Anniversaries...they've all started here. Our way of living, as a couple, has been established in this culture...the way we eat, the way we cook, the way we excercise, interact with people...all done here. Being honest, generally I do like living in Europe better than the US, life is slower, society here isn't as materialistic or as egocentric as American society (sad but true), we are healthier, the culture is incredibly rich with history, life, and diversity. However, we do miss our family and friends like you wouldn't believe...and of course we miss us some Arby's and Taco Bell somethin' awful. ;) I couldn't bare to be away from the people I love the most for another year.

So, needless to say - things here are INCREDIBLY hectic! We've got the girls coming in 2 days, we have 5 solid weeks of ministry with them (7 days a week), then we're off to the mountains somewhere to work a 10 day English camp, then two days later Kellie & Blake get here for two weeks and then we move home. JA CIE KRĘCA!

Life goes by quick...and it's going to go much quicker.

However, let me say we're pretty stoked that tomorrow we will take a break from our busy lives to see this! That's right...we get to see it before you do since we're 7 hours ahead. Muuuaahhhahaha!

Happy Days...

I'm always late...but better late than never right? And this blog is only a day late. I was thrown off because the fam had their Birthday/Mother's Day celebration a day early, but enough with excuses!

First to my Momma - Happy Mother's Day...she's pretty much the best mother in the world...hands down. I want to be just like her when I grow up. :) She is absolutely beautiful, she's insanely talented in a million ways, AND she's learning Spanish! I adore everything about her. You're "more precious than rubies" Mom. :) And she's a pretty funny gal. :)

And of course, to my amazing Mom-In-Law. I was blessed with a wonderful, loving, spunky Mother-in-law and I absolutely adore her. She's one of the strongest women I know. :) Happy Mother's Day Debbie! We love you!!

Last but certainly not least a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" (said with a Brak voice) to my big brother Shea-Bird. There are no words to express how much I love this guy. Handsome, funny, witty, incredibly caring, and definitely the coolest and most talented guy I know. He's pretty wonderful and I want to hang out with him all the time. Happy Birthday again Shea! Enjoy your Choco-Softies! ;) I love you!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THESE PEOPLE.

I know...I know...

I feel terrible! I can't believe it's been almost a MONTH since my last post. I apologize. :( Things here are great though...we can't believe that our summer team will be here in TWO weeks, holy cow. In no time it'll be time for us to pack up and head home!

Things with the youth group are going good, they have the money for tickets and they all have their visas so they'll be coming to visit in July. YAY! :)

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry (to you loyal readers) for the lack of postage (haha), I really want to write a new entry soon. The Lord's doing some neat stuff and I'd just like to share, but for tonight...we still have to balance our budget and I need to work out a meal plan for the week...and we're pretty exhausted already...so I'll leave you with some awesomeness.

My sister sent me this in an email and I couldn't resist but to share the wealth! :)
