Before the trip

---

I am so excited about this trip. I can't wait to go back to my country. It is hard to explain... I love America, but there is nothing like being around your own people, that speaks your language and where you feel one of them.
I just wish Brandon was coming with us. It will not be the same without him. But I know I'll have a good time and I just can't wait to show all my favorite places to Tomas. Even that I know that he is too young to really care.
Now I just hope our passports get here in time...

a little bit more than a month and I'll be back to Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!
