8 things that I miss from home (I'll be there soon!)

Brave Shae takes on driving for the first time in Tanzania!


1. Running water. Everyday.
2. Electricity. Also everyday.
3. Florida Hospital Church family.

4. Skittles

5. Traffic lights.

6. Susan working an "Office" reference into everyday conversation.

7. Employment.

8. Habaneros!


With only one week left, I have so much to do and so little time. However, instead of dwelling on the things that I'll miss about here (and there will be a list!) I am reminding myself of all that I look forward to at home. Its been a fast and amazing 6 months. This small segment of my life will forever be part of the story of who I was, who I am now, and who I will become. THANK YOU TO ALL MY AMAZING FRIENDS/FAMILY AT HOME. YOU ARE THE REASON I AM SUCCESSFUL. FROM CHURCH FRIENDS TO WORK FRIENDS, COLLEGE PALS AND LIFELONG BUDDIES, I MISS YOU ALL AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU OR HEAR YOUR VOICE WHEN I RETURN.

P.S. The pictures are from last weekend when my director "forced" me to learn to drive in Tanzania! Do you have any idea how hard it is to drive a manual when everything is on the opposite of what you are used to!?!?!?!?! Including the oncoming traffic?!?!?!?!? I actually did a great job. By the third time driving, I was completely comfortable. THANK YOU Davona for pushing me into learning. I feel stupid that I resisted so long. Oh well. Shae masters driving in Tanzania? Check.


Its strange driving on the left side. Hope I don't cross the line!

  2. When you get back, we are SO all going to have to get some Habenros action going on! And you KNOW the Ragsdale/Hess's would be all over that too!
