Joyous Reunion

My sweet love is back home!!! I couldn't be happier! We had a FANTASTIC reunion! I couldn't blog about it in case he saw it...but now that he is back..i can! :)

I surprised him by meeting him at the airport! He was soooo happy and surprised! Then I had gotten us a hotel (so we could have alone time...plus it was late and would be a 3 hr drive home from the airport). He was so so happy....which made me THRILLED!

He wrote in his journal to me while he was gone. He wrote what they did and also how much he loved me and missed me terribly. I can not even describe to you how truly happy I am that he is home again with me.

He has told me about Romania and I also read it in his journal to me...I will talk a little about it...but I hate to say too much when I wasn't actually there. I don't know that I will describe it perfectly...know what I mean?

The pics are some, that a girl that went, took. She took over 1,000 pics!!!! WOW! (I have only seen about 170 of them though). Here is my honey on a horse. I don't know why he is on a horse though...LOL. I will have to ask him.... Here they are making cabbage rolls for a food outreach thing they did. (Chris didn't want his picture taken...thus the closed eyes. I guess he thought if he couldn't see the camera..that it couldn't see him either...ROFL!)

Here they are moving gravel. They had literally tons of it to move. (I believe this was cleaning up around the church that was being built.)

Here he is sitting with one of the Romanian children over there...I guess, showing the boy how his Gerber tool works.
They handed out shoeboxes full of stuff for kids in the orphanages, they worked on and around the church being built, did community outreaches with food and blankets and visited families who didn't have much.

Chris said he even felt the Holy Spirit move the one night when the pastor was telling them that he had a dream that they would come to help them with the church. He said it is the first time he has ever felt that and it was amazing! :)

Chris said it was a good experience and hoped they planted seeds with the people...but when people asked if he would ever return to do more work there....he said "not till the kids are older and my wife can go with me". :)

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement and prayers! They are all soo soo appreciated! We had a surprise welcome home picnic for him last night too. LOL (I was just full of surprises for him. hehe) My sister took a couple pics of us there for me...(my camera's batteries are about dead) so when she uploads them and sends them to me...I will share those with you!!!


***Today was weigh in day.....I went to the dr's and got weighed.... and found out I didn't lose anything this week. :( I didn't gain..which is good...but I didn't lose. But since I lost 5 lbs last week...I shouldn't be surprised. I have still been eating so good and careful but I must have hit a plateau. I will keep on keeping on though! :o)
