Hi everyone,
A few months back I was laying in bed and I clearly remembered asking God to allow us to have a graduation party for Bella in the States with our family. I prayed and told Him that this was my desire as a mom, and I left it in HIs hands. I felt total peace. I have tears in my eyes just now thinking of how He made it all happen and answered my prayer WAY BEYOND what I expected.
After the girls left in April, Mike received some work proposals in KC, so we worked like crazy to finalize some things here in Brazil, booked our tickets and showed up in Kansas! God literally pieced every aspect of this trip together like a puzzle and He not only allowed us to be there, but also provided work while we were there! AMAZING!!!
We made it to KC to join the girls (whom btw were having the greatest time) and surprised the family! Needless to say, May was an awesome month for us! We had such a great time with our family, seeing our friends, catching up with everyone, and of course eating all the food that we'd been missing for the past 7 months.
The Graduation Party was a total blast, and we were able to celebrate it with everyone (missed a few people) that has made an impact and been a blessing to Bella's life.
My heart was so full to see how happy Bella was to share this time with everyone in KC - leaving the US during her Senior year was one of the hardest parts of the move for us. She has been amazing and has worked so hard! I could not be more proud and honored to be her mom and more grateful for the blessing that she is to all of us! I cannot tell you enough how much it meant to be able to be there and celebrate this special date! I will be forever thankful to our Heavenly Father for how He answered my prayer and how He prepared everything!
Three weeks went by so incredibly fast, and the goodbyes came way too soon. We LOVED being home and have the most amazing family and friends! Thank you for loving us so well! Missing you all and praying for you.
See you all in December :)
