Once upon a summer, I had a dream to go spend Christmas with my sister in Cambodia. [that was almost a year & a half ago] That's all it was... a dream. Then this summer, Lori and I bought tickets and that dream became a little more real. Then what do you know that long anticipated day finally arrived and I boarded the 1st of 3 planes that would bring me closer to the dream becoming reality. On the night of Dec. 17th we landed in the city of Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. [here at last] The next 12 days were the best 12 days of 2015! I will always treasure the time God gave me to spend with my sister, for the opportunity to experience her world and being able to meet her team. Since pictures are worth a thousand words... here you go!!
And so the trip begins... I've always enjoyed flying and this time was no different. :)
Reunited. The smiles say it all!
My sister has crazy [ in a good way ] moto driving skills. Which I learned to enjoy greatly as the rider. :)
Nothing like going to church on a moto & wearing flip-flops. :)
Christmas cookies were a fun activity... I mainly held the baby :) while the rest put their decorating skills to work.
Christmas didn't really feel like Christmas, but it was still a really special time.
Christmas Night with these people was epic. Definitely was a night I won't forget. =)
& the sunshine. Ah, that did my heart a world of good. The last weekend we headed down to the ocean. Which was Chelle's gift to me. Pretty much the best gift. hands down!
We rented a moto and had a grand time exploring the town & country side. :)
Yes, this is squid. & yes, I ate it. [well most of it]
All too quickly it came time to say good-bye, but it was an experience I'll treasure forever.
Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my adventure. & Thank-you to all who prayed! & If God brings me to mind you can pray that I'll feel better soon. I came home & promptly got sick. [better here than there] but it's still not so fun. I'm at least well enough to keep living life, just not at 100%. May God bless you wherever you find yourself today.. til next time, God's globetrotter girl :)
