One More Typhoid Pill...

My official countdown of time left in the States is 33 days. Just over 4 weeks before I'll be stepping onto an airplane and impatiently waiting the 19.5 hours until I get to set foot in Kenya once again. I'm so excited I can hardly wait!!

As I look at my calendar for August I'm realizing just how quickly that time will fly by. In between now and September 8th I have a girls retreat, church-wide family water park day, family vacation to Indiana and a wedding to attend. That doesn't leave me much time, which causes me to look at my list of "things to do" and wonder how it's all going to get done. But I'm crossing things off one after another (it's a great feeling).


One of the things I'm most excited about crossing off my list is immunization shots. One of the things anyone traveling to a third world country should do is get their immunization shots. Last year, I overlooked this very important detail in my trip to Kenya (I was uninformed of the importance). This year however, I'm prepared. 8 shots, 3 typhoid pills, and two very sore arms later and I'm almost set, just one more typhoid pill and I'll officially be immunized and get to cross that off my list of "things to do". Then I won't have to be a pin cushion for at least another 5 years!!
