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!
