Okay…so those of you who have read my blog for a while know life has recently been a bit of a trial for me.  When I wrote the post It’s Life….some more, I talked about a few bowling balls being thrown my way.  I told you about my job, and now I can talk about another one!  My boy is home! {sigh}

While those “balls” weren’t all bad, they still had a lot of emotion involved.  This was something very good, an answer to prayer really.  Remember when I talked about an international trip?  Vince was one of three who went as a work team to the Philippines to help my brother work on their new house.  He was gone three weeks.  He had an amazing time.  Since getting home from the airport we have listened to stories for a couple hours {I don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface.} and seen his several hundred photos.  I’m so excited for him {especially now that he’s home :-D!}; it was my idea, it was planned suddenly, and I had convinced myself the Philippines weren’t too far away {in order to ease my heart with Zach & Jane being there}.  After all we share water….HA!  That delusion lasted until just over half way through his flight from Vancouver, Canada to Hong Kong…ya, less than 24 hours from his departure I was questioning my sanity big time.  I will write more about the last month – but for now I’m going to keep it short and share some of his pictures with you.  These are things he saw with his own eyes, in real life. Enjoy!

Isn’t it gorgeous?!

Apparently, these are totally usable/used, they will bail the water out, 
fill it up with people {a LOT of people, as in 20 or so!}, 
and head on their way up the river.

He took these with his iTouch4 — he also took many videos so he could share the sights and sounds with us.  He did an amazing job with documenting the trip and I’m so happy to have him home!  I can’t wait to pour over his pictures some more.  He took some amazingly picturesque pictures, for someone who isn’t “really into taking pictures” and used an iTouch because he didn’t want to carry around a camera.  I will share more of my favorites as time goes on. 😀
