The most exciting thing to say now is "We are leaving next week" can you believe it, next week? The trip is all I think about, I don't know how I will survive trying to function and work for the next week and 2 days! Yes the countdown is on!
Everytime we do a little more things for Uganda, be it planning, shopping, or research it makes it so much more real! Last night Shannon and I went to Under Armor and picked up shorts that keep you dry, cool, and comfortable (which I really needed in Europe, so I know it was worth it!) after she came over and Dennis and I showed her what we have packed in our backpacks (yes we packed them 2 weeks ago!!!) We did have to take our bags apart anyways cause we packed them all nice and perfect, but forgot to spray all our clothes with the insect shield, which is much much neeeded, so now they are ready to spray, we will start doing that this week.
Thanks to an AMAZING Superbowl Party Fundraiser, (a big big thank you to all that attended, supported, donated and spread the word!) our group raised another $733 that will go directly to funding the kids art, sports, and school projects! It was such a great time, good game, lots of give aways and a great crowd!
So tonight I'm going shopping with Yvonne and Jen to get the dry food our group needs (pancake mix, oatmeal, instant soups and dehydrated food) things we can't get while in Uganda and than we are shopping for some things for the kids that Fred asked for cause we can't get them in Uganda either, like math cards, candy, and craft projects we are doing with the kids. I think that is probably going to be my favorite part!
I am starting to treasure my time with Burton and the kitties, cause I know I will miss them! This time I'm bringing pictures, cause I missed that in Europe.
Stay tuned.... :)
