Well Isn't That Magical....

Well, after a long debate with myself I finally decided that, yep  I'm going to start a blog.  Now I know what you are probably thinking, "oh great another person who thinks we all want to hear about how amazing her life is".  In fact if you are probably having a conversation in your head (it's okay you can admit it) it probably sounds like this: "Really, a blog...what's she going to write about" then I have fun news for you! 'Cause I haven't actually figured that one out yet. It's like an adventure we can all go on together!
In the very near future there will more than likely be A LOT about my trip to Africa (or as Kat loving calls is Afreeca).  As Ricky Riccardo would say I "got some 'splanin to do". 
A few months ago I was presented with an opportunity to go to Nairobi, Kenya.  It was a very quick descision that left very little time for fundraising and a great deal of space for trusting God.  Within a month I needed to raise about $2,300.  Well, in true "you really need to trust me" fashion the money came in the day it was due.  This left me with aroun $1,000 that still needed to be raised, and again only a month of fundraising time.  Thankfully I was able to get all the money in on time.  the how and such is not as important as the fact that HALLELUJAH it's all paid for!  Then came the fun part of getting everything together.  Did I mention 10 days worth of stuff needs to be able to fit in a carry-on....and that I'm a girl....
Well there is another miracle because *cue the magician music* dun da da...I got everything I needed in a carry-on and backpack.  Oh and I have room to spare. Please, please hold the applause.
All that's left are a few last minute errands and a knife demonstration tomorrow. 
Yeah, you read that right, tomorrow night someone is coming over to give me a knife demonstration.
I'll let you know how that goes later and I'll leave you to guess what a knife demonstration involves.

Laters,
