Wow - the holidays passed and things are settling back to normal. November-December passed with 10 flights for me from Madrid, to KC and Arizona, Florida. It was good to the grandparents after so long. It took all my "birthday" money to do the flights but it was a good decision. Then finally back in KC with snow every 3 or 4 days and lots of fun and food with friends adn family. We felt like we had a real winter with all the winter weather. Thanks to many of you for feeding us or hanging out with us. Felt the absence of Dash and T, and BB and Wah-Wah. BTW, BB or Wah-Wah send us your email off blog. We have friends from here headed to live in your city.
The moment I got to Spain I got sick with the flu/cold thing and only went back to work finally two weeks ago. I guess I just needed a rest and there wasn't anything pressing at work so I took the sick days without remorse. Hit the ground running with a new project, well two actually. 1. promote the Bible School here. 2. Revisit their 40 years of history. We have until the 15th to get it done so it will be really, really hectic. It's my first go as a director as well as producer for IMM, I've done it on my own but it is a good project to sink my teeth into. Last week it required a quick trip (4.5 hours away) to Cordoba and Bible School.
Last week I also saw a motorcycle wreck into a car in Spanish traffic. A little scary as people were trying to put the guy in their car and drive off, but ultimately an ambulance came and the police which I was glad to see. The same night I double parked which people do here all the time but I found it nerve wracking to listen for honking in case I needed to move my car. Life is interesting -- even when you don't expect it!
It's always good to hear from you guys. I hope your friends realize that we are not in a "dry" climate, but the summers here are perfect. Anyway, my email is bbranigan@comcast.net.
ReplyDeleteTravelling is always hectic. Good thing the timing of the sickness was not horrible. It's no fun to be sick, though.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could deal with double-parking. That would mess with my nerves too. Plus, I would always be concerned about being blocked in.
It's good to know what you've been up to. Some of us had the cold thing too, BB and Nibbles did anyway. I am glad you got to travel for the holidays, that must have been some sack of birthday money. We are contemplating vacation and whether to go back to KC or the grand canyon or crater lake here in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
Glad to hear from you! It was nice to see you here in KC. Sounds like you are going to be busy...but the good kind of busy.
ReplyDeleteWow--that's a lot of traveling! Good to see you back in blogland! Sorry you got sick. Dash and Nick are sick right now. Bummer. I am hoping to stay well! :) What--you don't have people headed to the middle of Indiana far away from everything and everyone!? LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat, nothing about your brother? Geez... no christmas next year for you! *laughs*
ReplyDeleteYes, it was great seeing you guys over the break.
