Just a quick update…
We’re in full swing of the Holiday season at Casa de Marko. Last night Susan and I decorated our Christmas tree. Was interesting to pull out all the decorations and see the plethora of items we’re not going to use. Some reasons were because we didn’t want those items to become new chew toys for our teething 8 month old Aubrey but other reasons were, too large, too tacky, outdated, wouldn’t fit or just plain ugly.
We did have a tragedy. As we were sifting through all the ornaments, there lied, wrapped in a single paper towel (hmmm, wonder who packed that one up??) were the shattered remains for my Florida Gators ornament I’ve had for years. 
I knew Susan dispised the Gators but I didn’t think enough to take her hatred out on a defenseless piece of Christmas history in my family…..
Ok, ok, in all fairness, Susan did apologize and I know she didn’t mean it. But it wouldn’t surprise me if her UT ornamnent goes missing sometime this Christmas season!
In other news, just getting ready for Guatemala. I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all those who gave. I was totally shocked by the amount of generosity and especially during this economic downturn in the country today. I’m praying that those funds will return to you 10 fold. Susan and I are making lists and I’m readying my gear for the trip. I’m excited and a little nervous at the same time. This will be my first time working in another country, and a third-world (developing country, to be politically correct) at that.
well, this waqs suppose to be a quick update so I’ll close out for now.
Caio
