I LOVE surprises. Kevin and I often joke that surprises are my love language. Being the receiver of a surprise is almost as fun as planning one for someone else. And this is why, a few weeks ago, I found myself wide awake the night before our big adventure. We did not tell anyone we were leaving. In this world of social media, it really felt like we were sneaking away. There was and is so much to be done before Elie's surgery. The November 3 date on the calender seems to be rushing at us with lightening speed. If we went by to do lists we knew we needed to stay home and "get stuff done". But something else was stirring in Kevin and I. We needed to get away. We needed to build a memory for our family that we could think back upon in the coming months. We needed to spend time together away from the chaos of life. Thursday night we planned it out. Friday, while the kids were away at school, I packed our family up for our adventure, turned off my phone
You will LOVE it! The coffe is like no other! AMAZING. If you want to get a preview...order some from Gobena.org. The proceeds go to help orphans in ET. Also, when you're planning your stay in ET, consider the Ethiopia Guest Home. There are links to both on my blog. Both are run by adoptive parents and benefit orphans still in ET. :)
