As I write tonight I’m full of thoughts of both home and of Africa. Of the latter I wish I could be there tomorrow, but it is a good thing I’m not leaving yet because I’m not packed entirely!! I did however unpack the remainder of clothes from home and sorted out what I would be taking. My clothes smelled like home :-) I miss Tulsa a lot right now. It’s not the city really even though that’s home and comfortable (and has frozen yogurt places, shopping centers, a skyline etc. Haha), but it’s the people that I miss. My mom jokingly said she’d send one of my dogs that I miss so much. I’d be afraid she’d turn into a roaming crazy country dog that some girl from Oklahoma would blog about ha! Sorry for a homesick post, but it’s just how I feel. I miss being around a lot of people I love. I’ve also never prepared to go overseas from anywhere but Tulsa. It makes me feel like I’m forgetting something. I do have my passport though so at least it isn’t that ;-)

I have received more snail mail since I’ve lived here than I’d imagined I would. I love the couple of letters I’ve gotten from close friends . Both were people who I coordinated their weddings. There is a friend in Tulsa who will appreciate that in all of my snail mail that I haven’t gotten any wedding invitations. Sadly I am going to miss three weddings while I live here :-(( One is next weekend while I’m in Africa. As much as I’d love to be at the wedding to celebrate, I wouldn’t trade my plane ticket for anything.

I just had to pause while writing this and look up the weather. It is raining and I heard strange sirens. I’d hate to be the only one who didn’t know what the sirens were indicating!

Below are a couple of pictures of super old cars I saw driving here in Hamilton.

All is well here and I’m ready for a good night’s sleep.
