less than 3 weeks

crazy stuff. less than three weeks until i'm flying home. flying home to 4 days of insanity.. and then moving back to school. haha. excellent.
not a whole lot is new i guess.. yesterday was sandra and manvis' birthday :) i made chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing. an instant hit. haha. the westernization of the food in our house continues. sandra loved the pancakes and eggs i made for her monday morning, the brownies on tuesday were a hit, and now the cake. haha oh- and pretzels and peanut butter.. haha. sandra says i'm trying to kill her.
this weekend we're going shopping :) and yesterday sandra and francis and i went to clinic to see a forum/session they were having on prenatal care- we want to incorporate something like that into the agency. it's still crazy to me to think that i'm starting a business. today we're meeting with a lawyer to talk about forms and paperwork and stuff surrounding setting something like this up... then next week we meet with doctors.. and then we start advertising and seeing women who need us. it's such an incredible thing to really be using what i've learned to help people.. people that i'll see and be able to talk to and touch.. it's amazing. but while we were at the clinic francis and i went for a walk and i got some more good pictures :)

i've had my first homesick moments.. i'm not usually a homesick type of person.. so it's a strange thing i guess.. it's weird. life here has become normal- the way things look and smell and what it takes to move around.. it's normal life. but as normal as it is.. it's like there's this deeper level of normal that only being "home" can accomplish.. i don't know if that makes sense. i just reread it.. it doesn't make sense. so.. yea.

um- let's see.. i'm excited to pick out the fabric for my dress. despite cries for lime green from one party .. i will do nothing of the sort. haha. and i think i'll make chocolate chip cookies next week. sad news.. we're almost out of peanut butter.
