So, we finally got our visa and could return to the US!!! After 5 months of moving 13 times and living out of our suitcases it was sooooooooooo good to unpack yesterday! Everything happened very fast, we got our passports in the mail on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning we left Stockholm after spending the night (2 hours of sleep :)) at Ylva and Tommy's house since they live so close to the airport. We were picked up at Newark and then drove to Gettysburg and spent the night there before continuing on to Pittsburgh on Thursday. It was almost surreal when we came to our house. It was so long since we were here, but at the same time it felt like we never left...
Nina had decorated our living room so that we would feel very welcome!!!The past months have been challenging, but oh so good in many ways and it has been so great to have spent so much time with our SOS family. And yes - it really functions as a family - we have never lacked anything. We have always had some place to stay, someones car to drive, car seat for Lucas (thanks Hilda :)) and so many people to hang out with!!! A great big thank you to everyone that we have stayed with and everyone that have lended us stuff that we needed - you are the best family in the world!!!
This morning we realized that our house wasn't that baby proof that we thought - in an instanse Lucas had fallen all the way down the basement stairs and now has a bright blue bruise on his forehead... Tomorrow I'm heading to IKEA to buy baby gates!!!
I met the MCM students for the first time today at prayer school - such great people! I am excited to get to know each and every one and it will be so wonderful to see what the God has in store for them this year! This life we live is tremendous, faboulus and exciting!!! Thank you Jesus!
