My Adventures!!!

Hey Everybody, I know, I know it has been a long time since I have updated and it has been very spiratic but I promise I am going to get better at posting.

Well, I will start with last weekend.
We were planning a trip to Sao Paulo but the babies and Preston were sick so my parents said why doesn't Kati go and see if Tori (another MK that lives in Campinas) wants to go with her. So we got it all planned, had someone that was going to be there waiting on us once we got to Sao Paulo, so Saturday morning at 8:30 Tori picked me up and we headed to the bus station. So, we got there and got our tickets and were set.......we thought......well turns out you need an ID number, well I had my passport so I had what I needed but Tori didn't, so she had to call her parents. Well the pay phone wouldn't work so she used my cell phone and called home, well her parents weren't there, only her brother, so she asked for him to get her ID number and he didn't have it. So she called her mom and couldn't get her, so she called her house again to see if her dad had gotten home yet. ***now let me note our bus left at 9:00 and this was 8:55*** Well her dad had not gotten home yet and so her brother said well I have your passport here, He had not put the two together so we get the number and ran to the bus......... and it was 9:00, we had no clue if the bus would still be there............so we get the the bus and get on JUST AS THEY ARE SHUTTING THE DOORS!!!!!! Oh I was so glad we made it!!!!
The rest of the trip was farily calm, we hung out with some friends and went to the mall. Coming back we got on our bus in plenty of time, Thank God!!!

Well, we have 1 WEEK and 6 DAYS left in Campinas!!!!! We are very excited. We started packing and our house is ready down in Porto Alegre!!! We are all set to go. WE will leave here probably September 7th or 8th, something like that, and we are going to travel to Curitiba(Coodichiba) which is about 6 hours away and stay the first night. Then we are going to drive to Forinopolis which is about 4 hours away from Curitiba and stay a few night there with some friends and see the city a little and just hang out, then we will head down to Porto Alegre!!!! We are so excited!!!!

Ok, I guess that is all the news i have so far, I promise to write more often and let you know what is going on with us!!

With Love,
His Princess in His Hands,
