Colombia South Carolina Spanish Speaking

WAITING for all the BAND of BROTHERS to arrive...
Some of the "Brethern" but more came...
GrandDad came.
Josh and Greg drove the 2 hours home to be here.
Megan videoed it for us, but for the life of me I can not get it to download here. When she gets back I'll have her add it.
I know it's taken me almost a week to write about it...I am afraid some of you will think I am still a puddle on the floor. But I'm not. Yes, I still hate that he is leaving. (May 4th) THAT PART NEVER GETS EASIER. But, this call was a love note from God themselves letting me know how crazy mad in love with me they are...that they KNOW my heart--and HIS...and they hear my prayers. He gets to stay stateside so I can send a package every week if I want to...he will be my first child to get a taste of the "south" that I have so longed for them to know...and HE gets the language he hoped for...AND access to the little conveniences like McDonald's and hot and cold running water :)
Did you know that South Carolina currently has their first female governor? Trueville...Nikki Haley! Did you know the state drink is MILK? and the state bird the wild turkey? and the state fruit a peach? And let us not forgot the MOST IMPORTANT parts....the GOLF COURSES at Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head!!! Spencer has LONG wanted to go. He may not get to golf them while he's there...but this Momma is gonna MAKE SURE he gets to Golf them AFTER he's done. Spencer, South Carolina has NO IDEA the GOODNESS coming their way. I am SOOOOOOO gonna miss you love bug.

I told Megan he was going state side, Spanish speaking and in the Arkansas area.. Well, 2 outta three ain't bad.

So glad he is one state away from me.
