Stateside

I made it to the States yesterday afternoon and since have been in New York doing some debreifing. I leave tomorrow morning to go to Seattle for a few weeks to spend time with my sister, brother-in-law, and the kiddos! Unfortunately, i will have to wait another week to see my parents though i know it will come quickly.

Thank you all for your incredible support over the past eight months and I look forward to catching up with you all individually because i know that time has not stood still for you all and that so much has happened not only in my life but in all of yours as well and i am excited to hear about it!

I know that the next few months will present it's challenges as I re-adjust to being back in the States and trying to find my place in this world across the ocean, but i am confident that God will make it clear in His time where He wants me.

So, since i was unable to put a ton of pictures on here while I was in Kenya I decided to take advantage of the fast internet and put some on today. These are pictures of when my friend Ann (from Chicago) came to visit me after her 2 month stay in Uganda, a picture of the neighbor kids coming over one last time to say good-bye, and pictures of the going away party that was thrown for me in Kibera...it was a blessing because I was able to go back into Kibera one last time before I flew back to the States. They were incredibly generous and gave me the sweetest gifts! Also there is a picture of me and my roomates. We finally got around to getting a "family" picture together. Oh, and one of my friend Genesis and me. We work together but he was unable to come to the party so this is when he came to say "kwaheri" (good-bye).

I hope you enjoy them and I will be in touch!
