Today's the day

I leave today. I leave today. I leave today. I can't believe its finally here. So many emotions running through my head. I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm sleep deprived already. I am just praying for safe and easy travels. Kenya!!

2 days!

I can't believe I leave in 2 days. The time has just flown. The problem is I still have so much to do. I feel very unprepared for my short day in London. I desperately need to do some research on how to get downtown from the airport. Its hard to make a dent in the to do list and also help out here at home. They hay can't get baled while I figure out the next week of my life. sigh. Somehow things will get done. If I have to stay up all night they will.

A week!

I will be in Kenya in a week. It seems so surreal. I've been at home for so long that its becoming routine. It will definitely take some adjustment once I land. Think I am almost ready to leave. Everyday I feel like I am getting closer to completing my to do list but then I think of something else that needs to be done. Trying very hard not to stress about it. In then end whatever happens will happen. Luckily the biggest thing on my plate right now is figuring out what I want to do with my 13 hours in London. Real hard....

Getting out of Illinois

I didn't realize how difficult it would be to switch countries or more so continents at the last minute. I fly out in 10 days and I am scrambling to get everything accomplished. This means more shots (yellow fever) when I thought that phrase was not humanly possible, rethinking my wardrobe, and every other little thing that pops up. Despite all these little glitches, I am so excited to finally get to Kenya and get started. Although not my originial choice in projects or destinations I am so excited. First step in international work = be flexible. Think I've accomplished that one...
