You see this face? This is my “AHHHH! How do you pack 11 months worth of life in a backpack and a duffle?” face. And it was a giant game of Tetris with my mother. BUT really, Tetris is a game that you can never win. The whole point of the game is to see how slowly you will lose.
I don’t know if I won or lost this game, but I do know that I sure have a heavy pack…that may be tricky to repack if TSA decides to peek in it.
As far as things are going at home. I have been enjoying a little time with family. I have gotten to see just about everyone in PA, MD, and OH. And I have eaten way too much food! I keep having my “lasts” before I leave. Last mall pretzel, last cheesecake, last zucchini casserole, last peach cobbler. I think I will be too heavy for the airplane again if I keep this eating up! HAHA!
But at the moment, I am mostly packed. I opened my Christmas gifts early in front of a little tree. And my brother and I are off to Toledo to celebrate Mama’s birthday tomorrow (her b-day is on the 7th but since I leave on the 6th, we are doing it early.)
I may write again from Atlanta while training with my team, but in case I don’t get to do that, I will land in Haiti on the 9th and will write as soon as possible. Is this really happening?
