My departure date is quickly approaching... this Friday, can you believe it?!?! Monday was packed full of fun thanks to Ian and Maria and the whole CSICU crew! A-team! " The girls" (Ian and Maria) started off the day with a much anticipated last shopping trip - to the outlet mall in Smithfield! I think the goal of the trip was not shopping, but making sure Katie's physical fitness level was up to par for African life... they know the answer now....


Despite my exhaustion we did have a great time! I'm so thankful for the friends God has placed in my life!



We all made it back to Fayetteville safely, practice a "wet wipe shower." Hehe... well we talked about it anyway. Dinner with the crew was at Texas Road house - way yummy! Thanks to all who helped coordinate - especially Jeanne. She not only brought a cake, but gave the animals a "bath" before they set foot on the deliciousness. Good times!
