Thanks to technology we are able
to do things so many people living overseas long ago never were able to
do. Because of the internet we are able
to correspond with friends and family immediately via email or skype. For a price we can even talk on the
phone! Today we were thankful to be able
to watch the Super Bowl live! Being away
from our home culture and adjusting to a completely different one often makes
me, Erin, more appreciative of aspects of our own culture. I always enjoy a Super Bowl party, but today
as just the four of us watched it was still special – a connection to our home
culture.
Our party wasn’t just
smaller. It is Monday morning here. I arranged Caedmon’s school lessons around
the game (before and during half time), John watched most of the game in his pajama’s,
and I sipped coffee and ate breakfast!
Not the Super Bowl traditions we grew up with, but what a blessing to be
able to still take part in an aspect of our own culture while so far away. AND the Seahawks won!!! Wow, what a morning to start our day!
