Ok, I'm just gonna go right into it. Some of you may
know this already. Some may not.
There's something I've chosen to keep to myself...
My family and I are moving to Namibia, Africa to be
missionaries for two years and we're leaving on January 31st.
I'm {obviously} not out-of-my-mind-excited for this and
didn't really feel like sharing that area of my life.
Since I started blogging, we already knew we
were leaving, and my blog turned into a new group of friends that
didn't know that part about me. I honestly enjoyed talking
with other people and not having Africa coming up in
every single conversation.
Now I'm beginning to feel guilty I've never shared this with most of you.
Sometimes I feel sad, mad, worried, or anxious at the
idea of leaving and was never able to blog about it!
NOW I CAN!
I can't wait to share with everyone all of the pictures I'm going to be taking
there and all of the cool things I'm going to experience...
Since the 31st is drawing so close, I probably
won't be blogging very much...
At least not into the regular flow of things until
about mid February to March.
Here's the rundown:
On the 31st we are leaving Minnesota and
going to Peach Tree, Georgia.
We'll be staying at the mission agency {A.I.M.}
headquarters for a couple days...
Then from there we are going to Kenya for some training with
other missionaries before everyone goes their own ways.
We'll be there for about 3 weeks.
Then after the 3 weeks in Kenya, we'll be headed to
the capital of Namibia, Windhoek for a few days.
Then FINALLY to our home in Otjiwrongo, Namibia.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them!
