Lord willing, Sunday July 5th, Dad and I will depart in the morning for Houston where we'll catch our flight and fly 16 hours before connecting in Dubai for a 4 hour flight to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We should finally meet the new ones on Tuesday! Wednesday the 8th is our embassy date. We should be in Ethiopia for 2 weeks.

Right now my room is absolutely cluttered with supplies and clothes on the floor. :-)

5 days till departure! Hard to believe.
