7 more days of work and 13 days until i go back to school!! we go to Oklahoma on the 18th!! i'm so excited! i still have to get a sundress or somthing to wear but i'm doing that tonight. i really have to start packing for school. my room is such a pit right now.

so this is my third post today but i thought i would tell about my trip. i was in Kenya, Egypt, and London. i was in Greece to but we never left the airport so it doesn't really count. Kenya was amazing getting to see the orphange that my parents built and meet all the girls who lived there. there are 72 girls living in the home and 137 on the waiting list. a few of the girls really touched my heart. some of their stories are just heartbreaking. Winnie and Nancy, one of the sets of twins, were so badly malnurished that they couldn't even walk when they came to the home. they can walk now but they may be permanently crippled. Egypt was so . there is so much history there and it was just a really fun trip. London was short because we were only there overnight and we were really tired from the trip. i think we were just ready to be home at that point. all in all it was a great trip.

so, i'm at work with nothing to do and it's only 8:20 am. it's gonna be a long day. my trip is coming up soon (23 days). 4 countries in 2 weeks, i can't wait. i'm in Kenya for 8 days, Egypt for 5, Greece for 6 hours (but we are leaving the airport to go into Athens) and London overnight. woo-hoo, it'll be a blast. since my parents haven't heard of a direct flight, we are flying from here to London to Kenya and on the way home it's Kenya to Egypt (with a few days to rest) to Greece to London to here. on the way to Kenya, we have a 10 hour lay over in London and we're not leaving the airport (i'm going to go crazy). Well we well have the Kenya team with us and we can entertain each other. I will put up some pictures here and on webshots when i get back. i bought a new memory card for my digital camera that holds 1186 pictures and i'll probably end up taking that many. getting them printed will be a pain.

So we had our last group d-hall dinner, sadly we weren't all there. We were probably like the loudest people ever. There was singing and dancing and big thumbs up to "Word". It was really fun though. Then we had the genius idea to sit in all the chairs (about 1000) on the quad. We did it in 9 min and 46 seconds. woohoo!! And finally we did a dance workout video that Hallie has and it was mad crazy hard but it was fun. Sierra makes a good point, we definitely need to play sardines at Wal-Mart when we get back!!! The day could not have been anymore eventful! I love you Ladies and hope all y'all have great summers!

To steal a quote from Sara, Finals are the source of all evil! Well, back to studying and studying and more studying!

So yea, this is my first post! tonight is the last Cru (tear). I'm gonna miss y'all sooooooooooooo much. It's kinda sad that everything is winding down. well at least we have this to keep in touch over the summer!
