Happy 8 month birthday, Anne Pearce!

My sweet girl is 8 months old today, and it is the last birthday we will ever spend apart! I can't believe that I will have that girlie TOMORROW! Wow!!!!!! Andrew and I finished packing last night with Daisy here for moral support. I am very excited, but I need some prayers.....

When Natalie had giardia we affectionately named her parasite Rico Suave. Yesterday Rico's cousin, Reno, moved into my intestional system via a chicken caesar salad. I was sick all day and into the night. I couldn't even go to church this morning! I have been worried about getting sick while I am there for 3 weeks, but I never even thought that that Holly's Guatemalan poo flu would hit in the good ol' US of A! Let's hope that Reno moves on to bigger and better things before I take off in the morning. It would be no fun traveling with him all day!

My next post will probably be from Guatemala unless I am hit with some other random thought before I go...... Anne Pearce is being brought to the hotel at 2:00 pm, which is 3:00 here in Alabama. I will post a pic as soon as I'm able!

I will be praying that Reno makes a quick exit and doesn't return! I will be praying for you tomorrow! So, you get her at 4pm, North Carolina time! I will remember that!

Please keep praying Abbie home! Go knock some sense into Barrios for all of us stuck in PGN!!

Love,
Karen
