Catching up

Wow! It is good to be home! I have actually been home for a few days, but it took me a while to get back in the swing of things. I came home VERY sick and actually ended up in the emergency room Thanksgiving night. But everything is fine now. I have enjoyed catching up on all the blogs I missed and I was so excited to see that Baby Logan arrived! We had that shower just in time! Congrats Danny and Denise. I am so happy for you guys!
I have been in India & Nepal this trip. I usually take a flight to Chicago and connect to my International flight from there. I really like that airport and I am always on the lookout for celebrities when I travel, but have never been so lucky to see anyone of interest. Other than Barrack & McCain (you might remember that from an old post) :)
I am not sure if you would consider this a celebrity, but look who I ran into on this trip....
That right. GERALDO RIVERA!!! OK, not that I am a fan, but I couldn't resist a picture.

These are some of the Nepali children that Mark and I travelled with when we toured with Children of the World . They used to be so little and now they are all grown up and some of them are taller than me. Boy, they make me feel old!

Ramesh, Prabal & Bijay were on our team. Handsome boys!
This is me trying to help cook at Shova's house. Believe it or not, I am grinding spices on a rock. Shovas mom was being nice to let me do it, but I am sure she would have preferred me to get out of her way. I know I keep promising to explain who Shova is. Most of you know, but I will try to introduce her in another post, since she keeps popping up on my blog.
The views of the Himalayas from my hotel room. Spectacular!
Sorry I dont have more exciting pictures from this trip. There were several VERY FUNNY and interesting things I could have caught on camera, but I need Julie D to teach me her secrets for being discrete.
It is GOOD to be home!

Nikki! Finally! It's been too long. I want to know about the sickness, too. Food poisoning? Stomach problems?

I love the pic of Geraldo. He grosses me out.

I knew it ... you have been sick as a dog, but still managed to get your pic of Geraldo up! Great post and good pics of the COTW kids - can't believe their so big! Anyway, glad you are feeling better. We missed you on Thanksgiving!

Dolly said...

Emergency room on Thanksgiving? Wow! Tell us more about it. I hope you're feeling better by now.

I'm LOL at the pic of you and good ole' Geraldo! I haven't seen that man in a long time. Good for you for asking to get a picture. That's a great blogger.

Your trip looked nice but I know you're happy to be back and with your family again.

Jennifer said...

Now Nikki, I'm confused as to why you went to India? Have I missed reading something??? Fill me in please!

That stinks that you were at the ER on Thanksgiving night, but glad you're better now. You've got to gear up for the big holiday season - I bet you're busy working away!

Glad you're back safely!!!

Nikki, I am so pleased to see an update and what a keeper...Geraldo, what scenery and the COTW who are growing up.

I am sorry you had to go the hospital and glad to know you have recovered.

Much love.

Denise said...

How did you ask GR for a picture? SO funny!

Love all the other pics from India. AND I am so glad you got home safely!

Kristi Smalley said...

What a wonderful blessing you all have being able to travel with your dad's ministry. What life-changing trips.

I'm sorry you came home sick. Do you think you got an Indian Tapeworm or Parasite? Ha! Just a thought.

THanks for thinking of the blog family when you got a picture of GR.

Nikki! I have been missing you! I hope you are not blogging because you are making millions at your "store!!!! I am anxious for you to come back, and I hope you will post pictures of your Christmas home!

My SIL LOVED her necklace, and my hair stylist got her order from you and loved it too!
