  • find out if there's any way to get Yellow Fever Vaccines for less than $135 each.
  • find out if there's any way to get the Typhoid Pills instead of the shot.
  • get previously mentioned vaccines (and malaria meds...and a meningitis vaccine...and any other shots we're supposed to get!)
  • get icecream after getting shots (that's an important part of this process!!!!!!)
  • transfer photos from their frames on our "wall of love" into magnetic picture frames for our new "wall of love" in our soon to be home with magnetic walls

  • have a yard sale next Saturday
  • make some magnets for the lesley's mailbox
  • get eli's scrapbook completely up to date (the other 2 are good to go!)
  • start training the lovely lady who is taking my job (no name available yet...but it's coming...)
  • be thankful that our "prayer postcard picture" is done!
  • enjoy every minute of this incredible journey God's got us on!
  • keep letting God do this (refrain from trying to take matters into my own hands...His hands are so much more capable than mine!!!) (and He's doing a TREMENDOUS job of handling it without my help!!) 
Surely there will be more to come!
