Friday evening we picked up Jedidiah (my brother) up from the DFW airport. He flew in after spending two weeks at a missionary kid re-entry camp (he is an MK from Bosnia) in California and will be starting college in East Texas. We all spent the night in Arlington with the Bowdens. I was a nanny for this family 12 years ago and hadn’t seen them since. Now the “kids” are all grown up – two in college and two with “real” jobs. We had a fun time Friday evening reminiscing (we didn’t get into bed until 2am). They had so many stories of travels abroad. Mr B looked at me and said, “You started all this traveling.” I was clueless and asked him to explain. “While you lived in our home, you told so many stories of traveling and it really inspired us to let the kids go…and they have.”
Saturday we hung out at the Bowden’s club where Ryan participated in a tennis (or as Tyler says “tennis- see” – like the state) camp wearing flip flops (true Paraguayan style). Then we all hung out by the pool. A high school buddy of Jeff’s, Jason Owens, came to visit with us. At 4:00 Jeff and I went to a wedding of one of his residency classmates, Mandy Dykstra. While at the reception, we were able to visit with two other of his classmates, Heather Harshman and Martha Rodriquez-Ruiz.
