Have you seen Matt?

I did not want to broadcast the fact that I have been alone for a little over a week. But I have. Matt has been in Budapest, Hungary, with a group of Shiloh students and two other sponsors for a mission trip.

I won't go into the ooey gooeyness of how I can barely breathe when I am not with him. I'll spare you those details. But I will say that we have all missed him desperately and could not be happier or more relieved that he will be home with us very soon.

We have skyped every day, which is awesome. We've also emailed and texted, and he has told me a lot about the city and its history. On Wednesday, I called him, and after we hung up he sent me this picture with the following caption.

"This is what I was seeing when you called."

My response back immediately...

"That's awesome. This is what I was seeing when I called." Just bein' real. Absolutely no resentment.

Matt requested that I send him several videos of the kids. My first few attempts with Jeb went something like this...



But then I caught this sweet little prayer from Belle.



I have a feeling he's going to have a hard time prying us off of him when he finally gets here. Although I may be too busy with Halloween costumes for hugs. Sigh. I can't wait for the big reveal, though. They are going to be super cute. Stay tuned!
