Today was picture day and boy do my boys look so so handsome and cute and all grown up! The closer it gets, the more sentimental I get. I just want to capture every last second with them!! Hug them a little tighter, look at them a little longer, kiss them all over! I went and had lunch with each one of them and while I was eating lunch with Jantzen the teacher helping in the cafeteria came over and said to me, "Only a mother could look at her song that way while he is stuffing his face full of fries." I wanted to tell her you have no idea, I am getting ready to leave and go across the world and I won't get to watch my baby eat fries for 9 days, I am savoring every last bit of it!!! So I tried to enjoy my babies and do as much as I could for the trip while they were at school, so that when they were home I could just be with them!! As the days got closer to the trip I will be honest and say it was a little scary. I have been planning this trip for close to a year and the reality of me actually leaving was getting closer and closer. I also felt like everyone was saying their "final goodbyes" to me. I knew He had called me, but there were times that I thought maybe I should just stay home! I am so so thankful that God's calling for me to go was WAY stronger then my fears of leaving! I knew that is where I needed to be, and though I will miss my husband and my boys, my family and my friends, I knew He was going to do amazing things in Ethiopia! Below are just a few pics of the last couple of days before I left!
There was flooding everywhere!
