Sarah: Packing

I hate it.

That is all.

Sarah's Announcement

Hello friends! Francis and I have some news! I've been waiting for a couple weeks to share it on the blog because there's still so much we need to figure out before it actually happens, but...

More specifically, the San Diego area. And we are so excited!!!! As I said before, there are still a lot of (major) details that we need to figure out (like where we're going to live and where we're going to work), but we can hardly wait for the adventure to start!

We are hoping to have (most of) the details figured out before we leave for Uganda August 28th - which only gives us one more week - yikes!! And we hope to move pretty quickly after we get back on September 15th. We are going to pack up our stuff, load our cars, and drive across the country to our new home.

This is a major time of transition for us and there's such a mix of emotions going on. We're excited, nervous, anxious, did I mention excited? We're currently researching our butts off to find jobs, housing, a good neighborhood, etc. I even found my husband reading an article titled, "How to Live Out of Your Car Safely". We're hoping that it doesn't come down to that, but if it does at least we'll know the ins and outs of living in our cars! hahaha. So needless to say, we would really appreciate you sending your prayers and positive thoughts our way! Oh, and if you know anyone in the San Diego area that can help us out, let us know--we need all the help we can get!

p.s. The picture is not of San Diego. It's actually a picture of Hanauma Bay, Hawaii from 1996 that I took when I was in first grade.

Packing and panicking

Inappropriate things make me laugh. Not like boobs and farts, I mean those do make me laugh, but like bad news or something that should be sad just makes me crack up. Right now my boyfriend has typhoid. I can not even type that sentence without starting to laugh. Its just ridiculous. Who gets typhoid? So far this year we have both gotten Malaria and now he has Typhoid. Its only May.

I leave for Africa in 4 days? Can that be right? So much to do. I started packing like 2 weeks ago which was a horrible idea. Procrastination is always the better choice. Do you hear that kids? I wish someone had told me when I was younger. Always procrastinate! I guess there have been times when I regretted putting off the ten page paper until the night before it was due. But then when I got a B on that paper I did not at all regret it. All that time that I saved! I could have worked on that paper for daaaaays. Starting to pack so early has just made these past weeks super depressing. I moved all of my chairs for some reason. Like moved them out of my house. No kitchen table and not a single chair anywhere left in the house. That means 3 weeks of eating dinner on the floor, or standing, or on my bed. Sarah has commandeered a good number of things from my walls. Glad they will be put to use while I am gone. But it seriously is super pathetic in my apartment right now.

Suitcases going to Uganda

Room that clearly needs help. Hopefully someone will sneak 

into this room and pack it overnight. (hint hint Sarah!).
