Journey Home

On The Move

My bags are packed, passport is ready, and in less than two days I’ll be back on beautiful US soil. This has been an amazing three weeks but I’m at the point where I am ready to come home. I am looking forward to seeing friends, family and especially Adam. With all of my traveling as of late and crazy schedules, I think the most amount of time we have spent together is three days per month since May. Needless to say, I’m pretty happy to be in one spot for more than a few weeks. 

The Source of the Great Nile River

I am looking forward to......my own bed. The ocean. A closet. Brushing my teeth with sink water. Good food. Newport summer. Eating raw vegetables. A beer...or two. Cars with shocks. The afternoon sea breeze. A grocery store. Windsurfing. Clean clothes. Not getting peed on. The beach. Lobster or a big juicy steak! 

Last night in Uganda- Jacob and I enjoy a beautiful Nile sunset

I will forever remember this three week adventure that took us through the most poor and impoverished villages of Kenya and Uganda. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to serve those less fortunate and in need of care and love. I always leave trips like this feeling like I have been given so much more in contrast to what I have done. The memories made and lessons learned are invaluable. I am forever grateful to those that made this medical mission a reality. Without the generous support and encouragement graciously given to me by my amazing donors, friends and family, this mission wouldn't have been possible. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Also, thanks to all that have been reading the blog while I have been over here. I  have been up past midnight most nights trying to write stuff up and upload pictures to the site. I hope that with what I have learned and experienced you may all gain a glimpse into what really matters in life. 

Tex and I all packed up and ready to rumble!

Love and Thanks to all! Can't wait to see everyone when I get back!
Best,
