A lot of people have been asking me about "Africa" recently. Most of the time they seem to ask, "Are you excited for Africa?" And of course, I always respond with, "Yes, I am!" But then I lead on to talk about how I am also nervous about coming back to Sacramento after being in Africa. Why am I worried? Well, because when I come back I will no longer be in college, no longer in the RA position, and will not yet have a job. My life is extremely busy right now, and I am sure it will remain the same while in Uganda.But then I'll come back to California and be living  life of complete nothingness for a while. And then there is just the adjustment of no longer being in Uganda. Not seeing Taylor every single day, not seeing my students, or the people I live with. Life will be different and I don't know if I'm going to like that.

As I was talking to a friend today, she said, "You know, God opens doors at the right time, so I wouldn't be worried about coming back." She also talked about how she thinks it will be good for me to have some time to adjust back to the Californian culture. And I think she is right.

I am sure I am going to miss being in college, living on campus, being in the RA position, and everything about Uganda when I return, but I have to remember that God has a plan. A plan that leads me right where He desires for me to be. And if that's back in Sacramento, then that's right where I need to be.

I was blessed to receive my tax return yesterday. For the past three years I have never received any money on a tax return. I've always had to pay loads because if a stipend I was receiving. With this tax return, I am going to go purchase some supplies for Uganda. Some nice sandals since they seem to wear out quickly there (my friend Lisa who is living there posted on her blog about this). I am also going to get some baby wipes for Taylor and I, as well as try and find some cheap skirts since everything must be to my knees and it's rather hot there.

It is averaging 80 degrees there during the day, and it's only March! Eeek, can you imagine what it will be like in the summer?! We are going to return with some killer ugly tan lines. I'm sure of it.

Funding update: $2,385
Other update: I need to get my Yellow Fever immunization still. Blek. I also need to send my money to Sherry so we can purchase my plane ticket. I am going to do that next week.
