Flying Home Today

That's right! We're coming home to Texas for a visit and flying home tonight.  As of 5:15 am, Clay and I will be back home and are so excited! I hope we get a chance to see everyone while we're there. Please keep us in your prayers as we fly over the Amazon :)

Flamengo Game Video

We took some video at the Flamengo game. You would not believe the energy!! There are drum players and a chant leader that keep playing the ENTIRE game! It's amazing and so much fun! The fans also have fireworks they set off at the beginning of each half that are probably a huge fire hazard, but who cares right? Haha. I definitely recommend going to a game if you visit Rio. VAI FLAMENGO!

Photos from the Boy's Visit

As I said in the last post, Clay and I had some visitors this last week. Here are some photos from their trip.  

Beach Days

Brazilian Ankur

Corcovado was cloudy, but it made for some cool pictures.

Flamengo Game!!

We won! VAI FLAMENGO!!

The Boy's Hostel (it was VERY shady)

We made a friend on the beach. He had the BEST pineapple I've ever eaten!

Piggin Out at Porcao

Sugar Loaf

Thanks for coming guys, it was so much fun!

Visitors! Part Deux

Tomorrow Clay and I have two friends coming to visit and we are so excited! We can't wait to spend time with Zach and Ankur and to show them Rio. More prayers for a safe arrival and visit please!

Random Update

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Nothing too out of the ordinary has been going on lately. Clay's project has reached about the half way point and is way behind schedule--we could be here until December now. Our tentative plans for me to come back with Clay have become definite b/c I no longer have a job to come home to. I guess that's the big news. Other than that, we've just been enjoying the beach, food, music, culture, and being with each other. We're beginning to get homesick for certain things, the (short) list being:

Family

Friends

Duchess (our dog)

Mexican food

Milk that isn't meant to last through a nuclear war

BBQ

Real Weekends for Clay

We can't wait to get our fill of this list when we're home for Lyndi and Brad's wedding! Get excited guys! It's almost here and we can't wait to see everyone!
