Fast forward to the end of fall...

So it's been about 7 months since I have even checked this thing, but I am sure nothing super important happend since then. I have decided to rivive this blog since I "plan" on keeping a fairly tight account of our trip to Egypt (in less than a month!!!)

Life is going by too fast. My heart is pleading for simplicity... and today I am reprioritizing my obligations and redelegating projects that I have taken on. Already I feel a lot better! Now all I have to work on is shopping and packing for Egypt (lots of Christmas presents you buy!) a I will be taking a crash course in Arabic starting tomorrow or the next day. It is a program we are downloading onto our computer, so thankfully I won't have to go anywhere.

At this point I am not even that nervouse about the 30 hour flight with the babies. Hopefully I will maintain this feeling of calm! I am beyond excited for this trip. It will be really special to celebrate Christmas with out the western influence distracting us from the true reason we are celebrating.

Simplicity is good. I was reading a blog from a marriage site (maybe Christiannymphos) and one comment was about how there are very few things that cannot be delegated, when we truly think about it. Just about everything, save being a lover to Jesus, your husband and a mommy to your kids, can be passed off for someone else. Good perspective, I thought.
