Greg's First Blog (don't blame Brandi)

This is Greg... I am the much better looking, more intelligent half of Brandi and Greg. No really it's true. Stop laughing....I'm serious.
If that were true, Brandi would be in trouble.
This is my inaugural blog entry and I am not sure if there is a format to follow. I don't fully understand blog etiquette (nor do I really care to) and I have never been one to worry about what other people think. So in light of that, I am going to jot down some of thoughts and allow you the opportunity to sort it out.
Enjoy the most captivating, inspiring piece of literature you are likely to read........ possibly ever.
1. This is quite an experience. I have been to several third world countries and have seen things that I thought at the time were difficult, however the need here is much greater than anything I have ever seen before. It truly makes you thankful for the incredible blessings that we have, and also makes you feel guilty for the excess in our lives.
A. Why does 90 degrees and 100% humidity seem hotter and sticky here than it does at home in FL? Oh wait its because I never go out side.
I. Why would someone post such a "bold" criticism of my wife and I on Brandi's personal blog, and then have the audacity to be so cowardly as to post it anonymously. If you have a problem with us, please feel free to contact me via Brandi's email. I would be glad to provide whatever information you would like to know. Also please understand that you do not know Brandi. You do not understand where we are coming from. You may think that you do because you read her thoughts and feelings, she allows you to experience her passion, but you do not know her. If I have offended you please feel free to stop reading this post and don't bother checking Brandi's blog again it will likely offend you in the future and I'm not sure that I could sleep at night knowing that possibility exists.
4. For those of you who were not offended by the previous comment and have decided to continue reading thank you for you patience while I aired my frustration.
B. Cars in Liberia have it rough. Not only are they extremely expensive ($4,000 for a used car with 200,000 miles on it), but the "roads" are more like potholes surrounded by a small amount of concrete. They must have to replace the shocks at least once a month because there is no way to avoid the potholes you have a better chance of avoiding the road itself.
II. I am excited to meet Henry Davis. I can not wait until we have the chance to introduce him to his brother and sister. What an incredible blessing to be able to provide that home, hope and a future that Brandi so eloquently expressed in one of her first blog entries...I am to lazy to look up which one so lets just say one of the first.
7. Have you ever noticed how when people make lists they often confuse the order ie. 1, b, 3 etc. I can't stand that.
C. The food here in Liberia is very good although I haven't experienced authentic Liberian cuisine yet. Our driver Lewis is going to take us to the best local restaurant in town so that we can "Truly get the flavor" (his words). I will let you know how it goes... those of you who know me are aware that I have a weak stomach. It'll be interesting.
III. I think I am about done blogging for today. This was a great first entry, it has everything that you could ask for, the emotional side, the controversial, the factual and best of all the truth, so help me God.
*. Little known fact about Liberia Celine Dion is on everywhere in Africa.
For those of you who will see my kids in the next few days please hug and kiss them for me and tell them that mama and daddy miss them.
Most Likely,
Greg
