Upcoming Travel!

It’s about time to head back to the States! The past week we’ve been finishing up what needs to be done before we leave and now we’ve got some deep cleaning and a lot of packing to do.

It’s been a quiet summer here and we are so thrilled to have the chance to go back to Kansas and Nebraska for a while before the school year starts back up.

I’ve been thinking of all of the things I’m looking forward to when we get there. Some of them are obvious and most of the others probably sound silly, but either way I can’t wait!

Love being here in Haiti, but really looking forward to:

First doctor appointment for the baby à we find out if I’ve got a boy or a girl growing in there!

Spending time with family and friends. That’s a given!

Big brother’s wedding! à also means I get to see my other brother for 48 hours :)

Worshiping the Lord in our own language

à at our home church with people we love

à for at least three Sundays in a row

            à thank the Lord. We need this one badly!

Speaking in English everywhere we go

            à not fumbling for words

à not stressing out about getting gas or having to buy anything

            à prices already labeled on everything
            à everything priced in the American dollar

Road systems
            à Smooth roads, highways with lanes and driving laws
              à country back roads that do not have holes big enough to fit our vehicle

                    inside of :)

American Food, including but not limited to:

            à fast food (TACO BELL, here we come!)

            à steak and potatoes

            à restaurants of every kind

            à JUNK FOOD AT MY FINGERTIPS

            à fruit (watermelon and strawberries!)

            à broccoli and spinach

            à chips and dip and salsa

            à …really, any kind of food that I want!

Shopping!

            à grocery shopping…. In a real grocery store. Oh, I miss grocery shopping!

            à clothes shopping

            à WINDOW shopping (my favorite kind of entertainment:)

Fishing, fishing, fishing

            à need I say more?

Entertainment for my dear husband

            à dirtbikes!

We must admit that we are most excited for the doctor’s appointment. We will land in Kansas around midnight and have our appointment scheduled for 8:30 that morning! What do you guys think… is it a boy or girl?

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL!
