67 hours!!!!

67 hours until I will be arriving in Addis Ababa at our guest house! I. Can't. Wait. It seems like it has been forever since I boarded a plane and flew back home, leaving my family and wife behind. I am super excited. I am fully packed, house is clean and I am ready to go. Just one more day of work and then I leave right after getting off duty:)

I miss my wife.

I miss my kids.

I miss Ethiopia.

I miss the sights and smells.

I miss the coffee ceremony.

I miss the Ethiopian people.

I miss the crazy driving.

I miss the laid back attitudes.

I miss going for walks to get a 25 cent coffee

I miss 30 cent french fries.

I miss being able to walk to the fruit market

I miss the simpleness of it all.

I miss the roadside stores.

I miss the music.

I miss the church.

I miss the injera.

I miss the cold flimsy pancakes in the morning (okay, not really:)

I miss it ALL

I can't wait to go back!!!

We just bought return tickets for all 8 of us for April 3rd. Please pray with us that this date will work. It will be another $2500 or so if it doesn't :( Also, we have a birth family interview set up on the 22nd of March. Please pray that this is all that the embassy requires and they clear us at this time (for ALL 3 children!) May God be glorified in all things we do!
