Yes, ...Thanks, Christine! :) It's nice to meet you. <BR/><BR/>Yes, we're off. They call it 'Id al-Adha here. Mostly Andrew is writing papers, but we're trying to do some fun things as well. <BR/><BR/>Turkey sounds exciting... :) I love Istanbul!

Wasn't it President Hinckley who urged us to be a little better, stand a little taller, etc.<BR/><BR/>We don't have to be perfect. Not today and not tomorrow. We just have to try a little harder to be a little better everyday. <BR/><BR/>You can't be a different person now, but what can you do to help you be who you want to be tomorrow? A year from now? 5 years?<BR/><BR/>Baby steps...we're all taking baby steps.<BR/><BR/>I love you!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-73802776591832414682008-12-06T22:13:00.000-05:002008-12-06T22:13:00.000-05:00I'm bawling...

Anyway, I found your blog through Layla's and I like reading about your adventures in Egypt with your little girl. My family and I are also on our own little adventure in Turkey for a while.
