Well, our 2 weeks has come and gone super fast. We leave on Tuesday to head back and I'm sure it will be a hard day for all of us. In one way, I'm ready to be back to my routine, my house, my bed. But on the other hand, I've enjoyed hanging with my family and seeing some of our friends, walking the aisles of Target just because I can, and watching the girls play with my mom, dad and brothers has been so sweet. I'm not sure if Cerys will understand on Tuesday that we are going back to our house. I get a lump in my throat just thinking about the questions she might ask..."Are Gigi and Papa coming to our house too?" "Are we going to their house after we sleep at our house?" "Where's Uncle Josh and Uncle Caleb, I want to play with them?"
Tomorrow we will get to fellowship with our class at church and I am really looking forward to that. Our class has been so supportive of us and have just amazed us the past 10 or so months that we have been in Wales. Care packages, phone calls, emails, prayers, etc. We love them dearly and just enjoy the times we get to be with them.
So, in the last 2 weeks we've had a birthday for Cerys, celebrated Thanksgiving with extended family and had Christmas with my family. We are taking back more luggage than we came with and a lot of new toys and clothes for the girls. I'm so thankful and grateful to my family for blessing us with new things for the girls. I think I've got enough clothes for the winter/spring for them and enough shoes too! Thank you!!!
Not sure if I will write again before we go to the airport. If not, just pray for our flight (oh, I'm dreading it already!) and for the girls to sleep!!! It is an overnight flight, so it should be easier to get them to sleep! Then we will have a 3 hour drive back to our house, so pray for Marc to be awake and alert! Pray for our families as we say goodbye once again.
Thank you!

I have to say that I've been very nervous to take vacation in the states because hubs is from Idaho and my family is in Arkansas and we'd have to spend about another $1000USD to get back and forth. Oh & both our parents are divorced so if we went home for 2 weeks, we figured we would see each person for maybe 3 days, then it would be time to travel again! I would like to walk through Target though...
glad you got to come home. did you ever recieve the cupcake package. i wouldj hate to think it was lost in the mail.
You really HAVE packed a lot into your visit! I'm so glad you've had a great time! I'm sure there are so many memories to look back on with fondness. I pray you'll keep them in your heart forever!
I'll be praying for your return trip, and will be watching for a post from Wales when you get back.
Wish we could have hooked up so we could see the girls and you could have met Melissa. We will just have to see them on the blog!
