Uganda Team Reunion!!

(So I finally decided to post about the reunion! Now that it's not fresh in my mind anymore, oh well!)

I wasn't sure it would ever happen, but some of the team was able to meet up for Kirk and Bradley's wedding! So we all got to see each other again!  Yay! 

4 of us (Rachel, Rosie, Hayley, and I) met in Georgia. We stayed in Albany (at Hayley's super cute house) for a few days catching up and enjoying our time together, just like old times (in Uganda! Crazy huh?)!

Then we together traveled on New Year's Eve to Florida. We stayed in a Disney Resort, and I was so excited to actually go to Disney for the first time!

Disney World! Ahhh! :)

That night we went to a perfect little town called Celebration, Florida. They had a NYE celebration, and I'd have to say it was the best ever!!!! The fireworks show was unbelievable, and being there with awesome friends really made it even more amazing!!

The Grand Finale!!


The next day (1/1/11) was the wedding! And was is beautiful and amazing? Yes totally!! And seeing everyone from our trip to Uganda 7 months ago was priceless! We even got a picture!

Then for our last day in Florida we decided to have some fun in Downtown Disney!! And of course shopping at the Disney shops for goodies to take back to our families.

Ahhhh Florida! How I miss you!




Then on top of all that, on our way back Rachel, Rosie and I got to meet an amazing family that just adopted a little boy that we met at the babies home in Uganda 7 months ago!!! This little boy is 2 years old and we knew him as "David" then:

His new name is Charles Tucker and it was so great to get to see him again, not to mention in the United States with his forever family! No longer an orphan! Melissa (his mom) was so kind to give me some newspaper bead necklaces from Uganda! It was so amazing to get to meet her too, because she was the first one to find my Uganda blog and was able to get me in touch with the other families adopting from the babies home! It has been such a blessing to see the precious babies that we got to meet in Uganda, now with families!! I can't explain it! Other than: God is AWESOME!! 

Here we are with Charles Tucker and his mom Melissa!
Thanks for letting us come by to meet you and your family Melissa!!
