My bag is overweight
I had to buy toothpaste that I forgot at a nearby 24 place
I have no idea where any of my stuff is in my bag.
So, well prepared as I am, I leave America. It's been an emotional roller coaster and I admit that I broke down a bit today. It's just hard to put into perspective what that speech that you have memorized actually means:
Q Where are you going/Are you scared?/What are you doing?/2 years, wow that's a long time
me: my standard answer..
But once that standard answer becomes reality, my goodness, life as you know it changes. So, all of that came slamming toward me today. Not to mention, lack of food did not help the situation. And today is also my sister's bday (happy birthday Becky!~) and that just reminded me of all of the things I'll miss out on at home. She was showing our nephew where I was going on the globe. And he asked how soon I'd be home. We have a standard of using the number of sleeps to describe how long a certain event is. He started the number at 16 (a large number for any five year old) and we settled in the 700s. So, over 700 sleeps. 700 plus mornings. 700+ fresh starts.
I will have new adventures and new stories to tell everyone and will try to update as much as possible! The Rwandan ambassador came today and talked to us and left us with the feeling that everyone is excited for us to be there. They have this once monthly day that's a community day where everyone pitches in and does community projects. So cool! I'll def. be participating in this kind of thing. Well, I'm beyond exhausted and need to squeeze in everything and it's mother in my bag. So, I'll post as soon as I can and try to remember all of it. And I'm sure I'll have things to say even from the airport (prob going to be that random girl that gets searched...)
So think good thoughts tomorrow and I'll write soon!~
