The Gym Company






OK, I'm going to go back and document everything I have pictures for. As the weeks went on with Madina, I realized it was more important for me to spend time with her than blog everyday. Although I never got a break, I have no regrets. I put all my love and energy into that little girl because I knew it was going to end.

LNCR did a fantastic job of event planning. The children got to experience a range of activities. Something we all enjoyed was an event at The Gym Company in Mooresville. He kids loved jumping, bouncing and climbing all over the gym equipment. The trampolines were a huge hit with Madina. What made this event extra special was the authentic Afghani meal that was prepared for us by a lovely local Muslim family formally of Afghanistan. The food was excellent! There was chicken, beef, chili, rice, potato, salad and flat bread (similar to pita). It was so incredibly flavorful without being too spicy. They use yummy spices and a lot of cinnamon in their dishes. I might have to start trying some recipes. Thank you so much to the very kind family to cook for all of us... this was a real treat!
