This evening, Tatiana, Diego and I went to Old Navy to check for any sales...I was scanning the clearance racks when a Hispanic male approached me and asked how old Diego was. I told him and then he seemed to be comparing sizes to him. (As if he were buying clothes for someone Diego's size) And I just told them Diego's sizes, and said, "but he's from Colombia, and he's a bit smaller than some around here." And he and the female woman with him, said, "Ah, Colombia!"
I said, "Yes!" with a big smile. They didn't say much else...but then I saw them at the register later and we struck up a conversation...These two people were from COLOMBIA!!! I was like- no way!!! And anyways, it was a cool moment. It was a man and his neice...She still has two sons in Colombia age 12 and 18. Not sure exactly how long she'd been in the States or what her plans were, but the man said he intended to go back in a month to Armenia. We talked some about our upcoming trip to Cali! It was so neat!!! We've only met one other guy from Colombia here in Mississippi, so that was wild! Anyways, just wanted to share...
Also, we have our LAST post placement this coming Monday! Yeah! Then, we will be finished! The birth certificates are in at the Lawyer's office. We have to go pick them up and then apply for the kids' passports...whew! Much to do still!

LOL...Come to Atlanta Colombians are everywhere! Its pretty funny actually. Our dentist is Colombian (and most of her staff), we have run into Colombians at the Braves games, grocery store, etc. There are few Colombian restaurants and even a Mexican restaurant where everyone is Colombian. Its a running joke in our family. There are even a few at work that teach spanish classes during lunch a couple times a week.
But it is fun to make that connection. And I'm sure unusual for where you are located. Congrats on the last post placement. We are coming up on #2 soon.
