where am i?

please, have you ever had a moment where you stop and think....where am i? like, your brain is telling you one thing but your senses or environment are saying something else. my cousin kasey and i call it an "out of body experience"

so this has happened to me a lot since living overseas. once in liberia i did a double take because i thought i saw someone from tyler walking in the market. REALLY!?!? its like, you know there is no way that person is in liberia, but your brain still does something so weird.

so the other day i was grocery shopping at the max mart. its a lebanese owned place with 24 dollar M&M's. (anything not local is wicked expensive) not the point. so im strolling along with my buggy (like im at the wal-mart) when overhead they start playing islands in the stream. WHAT?! (dad, old time rock and roll is forever number one) so anyways, here i am in ghana, west africa at a grocery store pushing a shopping buggy when kenny and dolly start singing. wow, talk about out of body. its such a strange feeling. i know im not at home, but everything around me tells me different.

a few weeks ago i was walking to school when i heard a whistle, i knew i was in ghana on my way to school, but i KNOW i heard my daddy whistle. i straight turned around and looked to see what he wanted. HAHAHA it was so funny, yet so sad. you know that whistle that you've know all your life. ill never forget that whistle. my heart did a little sad sigh when i realized again, where i was. man, i could really use a dad hug today.

next, while at the beach last weekend this mans phone rang and the ring tone was "bust the windows out your car" mama, did you get that!!!! can you believe it. i just stopped what i was doing to laugh. it was amazing. mama, you would have loved it!!

okay, that's all the "out of body" stories i have for now. i know i will have more. i hope you all are fabulous and delighting in all the blessings you have!
