Off to Kenya!!!!!

Always a few hiccups when leaving for a trip, but overall things were pretty smooth! Getting ready to leave home for 5 weeks is always challenging, because once I'm there I don't want to think about all the business stuff I normally do every day: paperwork, bills, ultrasound orders, etc i try to make sure everything is done ahead. And all my moms are covered.

I came up with a plan. I wrote everything that needed to be done on a sticky note and put it on the fridge. As I finished something, the sticky note was trashed. It felt good to throw away those sticky notes. In the days just before leaving I had to make a small pile of the to do items that will not get done! For a person that likes to get lists completed, this was hard, but surrendering to God and realizing it's ok to not get everything done!

I had lots of amazing donations, women in the church made blankets, people sent cloth diapers, watches for nurses!

With some help we got our tubs all packed and weighed, ready for the airport.

Had some time to see family before I left town

READY. SET GO!!!! Off to Kenya!!!
