*45 Days*

45

It is beyond me who that number has declined so quickly.

And how much has changed in the last 35 or so.

Originally, the plan was that Dad would be coming for the first 2 weeks, possibly with a few other people, and the me and Granjan would be there for 2 more weeks after that.

Now Dad won't be able to go at all, the tickets are extremely expensive right now and since Dad will have to go back soon he isn't going at all in July.

SO this is the longest I'll be away from both my parents at the same time.

Not only that but I'll be 8,000 miles away in a third-world country.

Not that I'm nervous, it's just so unreal.

We just got our tickets last week! We will be leaving Kentucky Sunday the 21 of July, and arriving in Uganda late late the 22nd.

I can't use words to convey my excitement for this trip, my love for these people and the country of Uganda is too much to put into words.

Today I woke up later than usual due to the fact that I was dreaming about my Ugandan babies.

Every now and then I decide to go through pictures of the trip back in August, as pictures are the closest thing I have to seeing them.

I've looked at my pictures a billion and one times so instead I scrolled through Rileigh's pictures.



Half the time it was fairly difficult to see the pictures as I had tears in my eyes. 

I have memories from that trip that can never be matched.

I cannot believe that just 45 days from now I'll be on a plane, back to see these very same kids that I love so much.

I'm so beyond thankful.
