Has It Really Been This Long?

I can't believe three weeks from today I will be visiting Andrew at Basic Training and seeing my family.  Honestly I am so excited to get home.  I have had an amazing experience thus far but I know many more adventurous are still to come in the future.  But I only have two work weeks left at the orphanage.  My work at the hospital is basically done, unless I choose to go, since my hours are nearly complete.  I really am going to miss the orphanage though when I leave.

I have learned many new things today.  First, one of the girls told me tonight that there are only 4 girls coming for the Winter semester.  That is even smaller than my group.  It kind of breaks my heart that only 4 people signed up for such an underrated experience!  Plus, what are going to happen to the kids?  I mean there are basically 7 different groups of kids, 5 rooms and then 2 apartments.  If there are only 4 which rooms miss out?  Kind of sad to think about actually. 

But on a high note I think I have a fun Saturday planned!  I still can't believe tomorrow is already Friday. Anyway, they are having a big discount and party/concert thing at the Illius Mall her Saturday night. You even get a free mask!  Sounds silly but I don't want to miss out on Anything.

By the way....I have though of names for my two new kiddos I mentioned in my last write up.  It might sound silly, the names I mean, but I think they fit.  For new kiddo #1 I have given the name Doll.  She looks like an adorable little doll with huge blue eyes and a winning smile.  For kiddo #2 I decided to call her Koala.  Just because she reminds me of cute little bear and she is one of the only kids I know that actually like teddy bears.  Not super creative for me but really they do fit the more I think about them.

I still can't believe I have been gone for 2 1/2 months.  It really is crazy to have lived in a foreign country, working, for that long.  I never been super open about my feelings so I don't talk about family or even Andrew that much for matter.  I am sure that some people are like this girl is really married?  Well I thought about it today and the reason I am like that is it is just easier that way.  When I just think and dwell on things it makes me sad.  So instead of being "the girl with the husband" and who is sad alot I just want to be myself.  I miss him to death!  More than I let people see, but for me not talking about it too much allows me to be ok with the situation and enjoy my self while I am here.  Which I definitely have! 

So a note to everyone out there, never let anything hold you back.  Dream big, live hard, and laugh a lot.  My own abridged saying but it is what works for me.  Traveling and experiencing life has always been one of mine so I am trying to live it up while I am here.  And to my family can't wait to see you in just a few short weeks!

Cu mult drag,

Dani
