Well, this is a very overdue blog! Life has been a little crazy with moving, starting a new job, apartment searching and planning for a trip to Nigeria. Really though, I don't have a good excuse for not taking a minute to write a little ditty and post a few pics:) Work is going well so far (the orientation leaves a little to be desired) but I think I am going to love working back at the med center. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming, so it's a matter of praying that I don't get too lost over the next several days until I can figure things out. I have been doing my research on downtown apartments, and hope to see a few this week to try and narrow things down. With all that is going on, my trip to Nigeria is sneaking up on me! I've been in touch with my partner in crime and it sounds like we will be doing a myriad of things while in Nigeria ranging from disability awareness to retreats for widows in 8 different villages. It is going to be a jam packed trip! Just a few pics from the move and our adventure back to the midwest.
FYI: I am going to tell the story before one of my family members decides to make a comment about it. Going through Canada proved to be a fun experience at the border patrol. After being drilled with several questions prior (one being "is that your daughter"--in reference to Katie) The patrol woman went on to ask me what my business was in Canada that day. I proceeded to say that I was "driving to Nebraska"--cause you always have to go to Canada in order to get to Nebraska! I think I made her chuckle a little, and we definitely have gotten a few laughs out of it ourselves. I don't think I'll ever live it down:)
