The one month mark is finally here. One month until I depart
for Zambia. It amazes me how fast time has flown and how quickly each day and
week seems to pass by. I think of everything left to experience here in America
before July 16th and it is frightening to me that there are so few
days left to do everything I wish to do before I leave.
The next month will be filled with numerous goodbyes…something
of which is not my strength and I am sure many of them will be difficult and saddening.
However I continually think of the adventure that lies ahead of me and
everything I have to look forward to.
Of course I am enjoying all of the things that I know I am going
to miss when I depart this great
country: Ice, Hot showers, Being able to get in a car and drive anywhere I want to, A comfy bed with my
6 pillows, Air Conditioning and of course Family.
Right now I am patiently waiting for my staging packet/Email
to arrive. Staging is a two day orientation in the US before we all board a
plan and head to Zambia. It will be the first chance we have to meet all of the
people we will be sharing our experience of the next two years with. My staging
packet will include all the information I need to get my plane ticket to our
staging city which at the moment I am assuming is Philly. With only four weeks
till departure I am sure it should be here shortly.
Until then I will continue to enjoy the Colorado summer,
family and most of all air conditioning.
