Lame Update

32 days, and I am on my way back home, to Ghana. My visa went in the mail today (because I have an awesome Mommy), I got my Malerone prescription yesterday at the doctors. I get my TB test and a Cholera done next week. I am so ready to go! I am still buying some things for the orphanage, and obviously, I haven't started packing yet, but there shouldn't be any panic in going this time. And I know that I can pretty much buy them anything else in Ghana as well. I am so excited to be going back. Even my doctor said that my face lit up when I said I had booked my plane tickets. Did I tell you that I booked my tickets? I am leaving PG on November 3rd, spending the night at my amazing sister's house, then she is driving me to Seattle where I fly to Washington, and then straight on to Ghana! I arrive about 1 pm on November 5th, so as long as everything goes normally, I should be able to see the children late that afternoon. I can't wait to see them! I hope I get a homecoming like the one I got after Tanzania! God I love those kids! I think I will switch back to my other blog for the trip – I think I want it to be my travel blog. All that is on it right now is Ghana, so it may as well stay that way!

Not a lot has gone on recently though. I cut off my birthday present from Travis from last year this morning. It has been destroying part of my ankle – I think wearing socks made it rub, and it has been dry and flaking for months. So today, I cut it off. I didn't want to. I wanted to see how long it would last. It has held up really good! In some ways, it made me sad – it was like everything was finally over (ya ya, I know), but in some ways, I didn't feel anything. I still miss him. I still wish we could be friends. I know we probably can't, but I do wish! I am hoping to see him before I go away again though. I find hanging out with Nathaniel a little hard some days too (not going to change that though) because it feels like a part of our family is missing. I guess we can both miss out together!

I thought I had lots to tell you finally, but it appears I don't. Have a great weekend!
