Everything seems a little unreal.  Eric is finally a Senior in grad school which means two things.  The first and craziest is Eric becomes ordained and second I get to start applying to grad schools.  I can feel my heart pounding at the thought of having the career of my dreams.  Of course, all this is in a years time.  There is still that last year in seminary for us and not to mention Africa which is creeping up on us as I write.  

We did it!!! Going back to Africa and I could not be more excited.  What will I be doing?  Other than having the experience of a life time, I will be work in hospice care for children with AIDS.  How long will we be there for approximately two and a half months.  For June 1 to August 18.  I will be freezing my … well everything off.  Yes, it is cold in South Africa and there is snow an the beautiful mountains.  I can not wait to wake up in the morning and see Eric’s face when he sees’ just how beautiful it is in Africa. We will be living in Grahamstown South Africa which is about an hour and half from Port Elizabeth.  Grahamstown is a small city with townships that surround it.  I am not kidding when I say Africa is my beginning!!  I truly feel as though I came alive in South Africa.  I grew to know who I was and what my purpose was in life.  Now I will return and grow into a greater self.  

I will keep everyone who reads this posted during our venture.
