Mussoorie Days!

THURSDAY, JULY 8th-
  • We got back from Amritsar this day and were just lazy all day long!  It was wonderful!

FRIDAY, JULY 9th- 
  • We went into town today and picked up all the last minute things that we had ordered to be made.  Chris got two suits that were made, Nicole and I got our coats... they're BEAUTIFUL!..., picked up a suit that we had made for Matthew, and also picked up some shoes.  



  • That night, the girls from the trek along with one of Nicole's old camp friends who used to work here came over for MEXICAN NIGHT!  We made homemade chicken fajitas, salsa, and fruit salad.  It was so much fun.  
  • Nicole also taught me and the other girl from America how to tie our sarees.  FUN FUN!

SATURDAY, JULY 10th-
  • Today we packed, took down curtains, organized, and all that jazz.
  • Then that night, we went to one of Nicole's coworker's house to see his new twin boys.  Oh my they were so cute and TINY!!!  We were able to give them a bunch of stuff as well from the house and it was so beautiful to see their faces light up from gratitude.

SUNDAY, JULY 11th-
  • We did a lot more packing today and got the whole house basically packed up.  Chris worked on figuring out how to transport all of the stuff and found out that we can do unaccompanied luggage all the way to the US for only a bit more money than lugging it around with us!!!  
  • That night we had our SAREE NIGHT!!!  We went out to eat with three other girls to a nice restaurant all dressed up in our sarees.  It was so much fun to tie and 'situate' the saree with Nicole before we went out.  I guess that each morning all the sisters and mothers here help each other into their sarees, so it was fun to kind of see what that was like.


  • Afterwards, Nicole and I found some silliness within us and took these pictures... hehehehe! 




MONDAY, JULY 12th-
  • This day we did last minute packing, worked on school stuff for Nicole, and laid around!  Quite the life.  We also happened to watch some movies along the way too... why is life so stressful sometimes?!?  :)

TUESDAY, JULY 13th- 
  • And what did we do this day?  Pack!  We also delivered the final things to people who had bought them around town.
  • Then at 7:00 the taxi picked us up, we got all the luggage packed up, and we left for the train station.
  • We got the train station fine and got onto our train no problem. 
 AGRA HERE WE COME!!!

I now have to tell you that I will never forgive you for having such a cute coat :)

Ok... because you are so sweet and beautiful in it I will forgive you :)

You are stunning by the way, as well as your sister.

The baby is so little! I want to hold him and snuggle him all up.

I am so glad that you were there for Chris and Nicole through this transition. You are such a good sister.

I love you girlie and can't wait to spend time with you.
