I Didn't Get What I Wanted . . .

I've been looking forward to today for for the past 6 months.  In fact, the whole family has.  Today at 5:00 pm we were going to call Lance in Guyana!  We had everything set up right down to how we were going to record the conversation so we could listen to it later.  We had gone over to my mom and dad's for dinner and left about 4:40 so we could be ready for "The Phone Call".  We dialed once, we dialed twice, we dialed three times.  Nothing but a busy signal!  We called the international operator and he told us to just keep trying.  After about 30 minutes Lance calls us and tells us to call him back.  We try again - nothing.  He calls back and we tell him that our call won't go through.  He said that he would try to get permission to call us tomorrow.  We'll see how that works out.

Other than that our day was great!  It was all pretty laid back this year but all of the kids were here except Lance and he was in our hearts : ).  Everyone had a great day and I have to say that I have certainly been blessed in my life.  I'm so thankful for such a wonderful family!!  And at least our house doesn't look like this, hahaha  : D
