Let the adventure begin

From the receipts I could find so far it looks like we have made:
7 trips to Walmart
2 trips to Target
2 trips to Babies R Us
2 trips to the Pharmacy
2 trips to the Children's Hospital pharmacy
2 trips to Best Buy
2 trips to the Dollar Store
1 trip to Marshalls
1 trip to Gabriel Brothers
Not having to shop till we get to Nairobi will be priceless. But then we will have to shop for all of our food for one month!

Our bags are packed, our house is semi-clean, looks like we are actually doing this. I tried to get my 6 mile run in this morning but didn't have it in me. The day after we get back from Kenya Andy is running the Pittsburgh Marathon and I am running on a relay team. I was hoping to get my miles in before we head out but looks like I might be running in a skirt:)

The first trial of anti-malaria meds did not go so hot for me. I started vomiting violently and was out of commission for an hour or so. All the memories of being sick in Kenya swarmed back to me. What am I going to do if I get sick this time? I have Arathena to care for. Luckily we were able to get another medicine for me, unfortunately it cost $320 for the month...which we didn't budget for:) I am worried that Arathena isn't handling her meds either, she has been out of sorts, but the medicine she is on is the only one that she can be on, so she has to take it.

Since we had most of our bags packed we headed over to the Easter Egg hunt that our church sponsored for the community of Millvale. It was a lot of fun and so nice to see everyone one last time.

We are off to the airport...Arathena has not napped:) here we go

Got the e-mail today saying you guys arrived safely -- so glad! I'm praying for your health and settling-in process this week! So bummed I didn't get to see you last week before you left; I was at my parents' house all week.
