Soooo... this is my first post...
I leave for Ghana in FOUR DAYS!!!!!! I am very excited, a little nervous, haven't peed in my pants yet which is a good sign. I have packed WAY too much thanks to my mother, my personal Walmart (but better cause she feeds me and makes me tea :) )
I'm sad that I won't be able to spend christmas with those crazy people who call themselves my family and that even crazier guy whose cheeks I just want to SQUEEZE!!!! ... You know what cheeks I'm talking about. Ya. Those. But anyhoo, I'm hoping that this will be an amazing, safe trip and that I come home with new perspectives and many stories.
Oh ya, and for those of you who I haven't told yet, I will be volunteering at the hospital in the HoHoe district (pronounced Ho-way much to my dismay). YAY!!! Exciting, yes? It should be an eye-opening experience since Ghana does not have many of the resources that western medicine does. I'll try to keep posting blogs for those of you who want to know what's happening in HoHoe, ya KNOWWW???!!??
Now you may be asking yourselves... what does a picture of Dad riding a dolphin have anything to do with this post?
I dunno, but for now, I have to get back to studying biochem :D
I love you guys!!

WOW!!!!! Even though I'll be in India the entire time you'll be in Ghana I'm still jealous. But, of course, I'm also a selfish brat. So there ya go... ;) I've always wanted to go to Africa, and so I'll relish all the pictures and stories you come home with. We should do an evening of slides/projection and stories when you get back!! Don't know if I'll see you before you leave so, HAVE A SAFE TRIP, and Merry Christmas. I think it's awesome that you'll be there for the holiday. Yay! Sarah For President!!! Much love, lex
hahahahahha tigerlily that picture is TOO cute of your daddy-o!

1. DUDE! That photo is hilarious!!!
2. No, I don't know what cheeks you mean...
3. I'm so happy you'll be letting us know what's the down low in Ho-hoe.
4. Have a yo-ho time!
5. The holidays won't be the same without you. Not as funny... since you're the funny-bone of the family... [sorry Matt-- you and I... we're just... we're just weird and nobody gets it. Don't worry we'll cry about it together when I see you!]
6. Write in this everyday so mom doesn't freak out. (okay and me... but only a little. :))
7. I'm really proud of you & I love you SO very much!

I love you!
