LMS's Last Minute Decision

Sadly LMS has decided she isn't coming to Ethiopia with us :-( I'm upset about this, but totally understand her reasons, and although I'll miss her (and her assistance!) a LOT, I think she is doing the right thing.

She is going to visit her Boyfriend in America. He has been very down recently, partly because of the economy over there and the constant threat of losing his job and partly because his family and friends are being very negative about his and LMS's long distance relationship. And also probably, because she misses him lol. LMS is hoping to be able to convince Boyfriend's family and friends that she isn't such a bad person (they don't approve of her not being a committed Christian, her drinking (she is a student!!) and her being over here!!). I think that once they meet her they will realise what a sweet, kind and loving young lady she is and will hopefully be a bit more supportive to Boyfriend about their relationship.

Its going to make our trip to Ethiopia more difficult, and Drama Teen thought I was joking when I said she would need to be helpful on the trip!! But it is me and Mr Messy that have decided to add to our family and it isn't LMS's responsibility to help us with that and we will cope just fine :-) And once Little Prince gets over the disappointment he'll be fine too!!
