I think few people realize how lucky we are to have what we do. Myself included. The last week has been rough in our family but rough compared to what? Rough because we dont get to go Florida this summer for vacation, or rough because we may not be able to go out to eat as much as we normally do? Do those things even matter? There are thousands of people dieing every day in Africa of Aids, Maleria, and starvation and yet here we are complaining about not getting a couple luxuries we are used to? We have family, friends, a houes over our heads, food on the table, what more can we ask for? These things other people are not as lucky to have. Hopefully I will never forget how I feel now and I will always appreciate everything I am blessed with.

Wow. That's very powerful, TJ. I know I've kept ignoring you when you'd say, "Kylee, you have no idea what you're getting into. This will be an eye opening experience." I've seen the many pictures of starved children, people dieing from AIDS and much more, but you're blog just really hit me. You're exactly right- people don't get it until they experience it. As Americans we take for granted the simiplist things.
P.S. I seem to recall a certain someone sending you that picture months ago. :)
My soccer club is arranging to send stuff to the orphanage. I am waiting on two posters from you to put up at local stores so we can send a bunch of soccer goodies.
Reminder to get me two things:
1) 2 Posters promoting soccer camp
2)Address from Patrick for orphanage so others can mail stuff directly.
