Life through my eyes

Post Script

Back home and it's weird I must say. My travels were a bit more than I expected, having been caught in the web of confusion and doubt from leaving. When arriving at Nyumbani, you'd never thing it would be so hard to leave. Seeing the smile on my moms face after arriving at the airport did make things a bit better, and spending time with her may have been the only thing keeping a smile on my face. You'd think the smooth roads, hot showers, good food, etc. would all make things seem better, instead its the contrary. Strange. Spending time with family is however, priceless. Being home with my mom, seeing Ella, surprising my brother at his new house, seeing how Madelyn has grown and seeing Anabelle for the first time are all reasons I knew I wanted to come home. Leaving college, leaving Kenya, then leaving De Pere, why do I keep doing this to myself. In life, there are no real goodbyes with friends and family but it sure is an emotional struggle to leave ones that you love. Thank you for embarking on the journey of a life time with me, your support has guided me and kept me smiling. Im not sure if I will continue with the blog, maybe more so as I taste the exoctic fruits of life. When (and if) I do get a job I will update you and there isnt a doubt in my mind that I will be back to Kenya, so I will update you on that as well. The student loan papers were waiting for me when I got home, so it may be a bit before my budget balances out, but I'll be sure that Nyumbani is on the top of my list. It is my honest hope that all of you have taken something away from my writing, I do it quickly (and sometimes without revisions because of time crunching), but I do it with heart. I hope that I can soon be reading about adventures on you adventure of a life time. peace and love.

It's so hard to say good bye

Safe and sound back in Kenya. Ethiopia was amazing, to say the least, I wish I had more time to write, but I will in time. I leave for the US tomorrow and will be back on the 6th. My cell should be turned on once Im back. Looking forward to seeing everyone! Missing you tons. Dont have time to write, in denial about leaving and lots to do... wicked combination of emotions. However, in life I have learned that with friends there are no good byes (right Cait?). Godspeed.
