It's funny how life leads you where you need to go even though you were not planning on any of the steps you took.
Smiles for Ghana is a very dear project to my heart, I didn't realize I would get to relive this whole experience except this time I am traveling to Africa to implement all my hard work! I always have dreamed of going out of the the country and giving back with humanitarian aid. I know that there have been opportunities but it really gets expensive when you are trying to give back. Who would have thought giving of your time, love, and effort would include a heavy bill as well.
Well here I am again, you ever you are who is reading this, Now starts my beginning! I'm officially committing to the heavy bill :) ............. No really I paid the deposit so no going back now even if I don't have the money Ha Ha. May2015 can't come soon enough
OK beginning thoughts that's what I am starting out with right?
Ever since I was little I have been fascinated with Africa, the exotic nature of the unknown you might say. When I met my husband I can't say it didn't have a hand in me choosing to date and potentially marry him. My husband was "lucky enough" to grow up in a medical missionary family who lived in Africa until he was 19. Since then I've always been envious of that gift, and not knowing any better because I don't know how it really is there. But my husband frequently reminds me that it wasn't a vacation. I'm sort of scared seeing as the only time I've been out of the country was for vacation in Mexico so not a grueling trip but I'm determined to have this experience. Currently no kids to miss me while I'm gone for over a month but a dog I hope that recognizes me when I get back. My husband will have free weekends of no chores so I hope the house isn't a complete disaster when I get back also :) ( Ha Ha just kidding Babe I'm more of a tornado than you) I heard we are leaving during the rainy season so I'm really excited to experience a serious down pour. Another fun fact is that were are doing multiple health clinics and usually 200 people show up and wait over two hours to see you. Can you imagine that? It makes my heart ache just thinking about it, I'm sure I won't come back the same after this trip.
Well signing off for now, I'll keep in touch !
