you wake up one morning…
and everything is different.
i am staring at the keyboard. and will probably be back in the US in two weeks and two days.
With VISA issues, i can be in Brasil 180 days total. With teacher issues, it works better for me to go back home now and then come back for three months the second semester (Mid August-November). The school will be paying for my plane ticket, and checking out prices today–i can get a round trip ticket for those dates for HALF the price it was going to cost me to return to the US the end of July. i don’t get it. but maybe i don’t have to.
I will arrive in time to help my sister pack her suitcases and head to Brasil. my kids are gonna love her.
what do i feel about this? surprisingly good. all ready to wind into a whirlwind of planning and packing and setting things into motion…
because life is like that. you get up one day thinking the road stretches on for miles and miles…
and then it ends
it turns
and you jump in for the ride.

Well, while your road is winding, mine is coming to an abrupt HALT
i know this is reeeally selfish of me…but does that mean you might be coming to my wedding?!
i love you! i hope things work out really well.
i found this old book of poems you wrote a while back with a letter on front on a piece of paper with a really cute littler girl on it & i read them all at work last week i think? i think you’re amazing & incredibly beautiful & talented & inspiring…& the list could go on & on…no really…& i just hope you know that.
i’ll be praying every time i think to!
i love you, Rachel!
God bless you!
