Happy New Year Family and Friends!
My Christmas and New Years were both spent with Daryl and Sabrina. Both days were lovely celebrations. For New Years (we are such party animals) that we watched movies and didn't even notice when the time had changed! OOPS! Daryl made lasagna, fresh Caesar salad and garlic bread for dinner. It was amazing!!! In between movies I did my first ever attempt at making English muffins. For my first time they weren't bad. Why did I make them? For New Year's morning, Daryl made eggs benedict with an absolutely amazing hollandaise sauce that he slaved over. YUM! Definitely not a bad way to start the new year! :-)
8 weeks is gonna fly by!!!
It's hard to imagine that in 8 weeks I will be on US soil. YIKES! Time is definitely flying. I have already started sorting through my things and it's weird to see a pile of things in my suitcase that I plan on bringing home with me. My room, which I am sorting through first looks like a tornado has gone through it. I am hoping to finish it up by this weekend so that I can actually find my floor to clean it!
Where are you going to be?
To answer this question, I have come up with a basic itinerary for my time at home. I haven't heard back from all the people that I have asked about staying with, but I am used to things changing at the last minute. So, here is what I am thinking things will look like. As soon as I get a cell phone I will give you my number so that we can make plans to meet up when I am in each of these places. There are lots of people that I want to see in each place but I was afraid of forgetting someone so I only wrote who I am staying with. :-)
March 2nd: leave Windhoek, fly through Jo'burg, London
March 3rd: arrive in NY (I left on March 3rd 2006, I arrive back on March 3rd 2009- I find it a little humorous!)
March 5th: fly to ATL (stay with Teresa) (get a cell phone, renew driver's license, go to church, meet Addison for the first time, eat lots of Mexican food)
March 14th: fly to NM (eat more Mexican food, spend time with family, meet Kaiden for the first time, buy a car- I'm thinking another Jetta?)
April 10th: Weekend getaway to Carlsbad Caverns, Carlsbad, NM
April 12th: Drive to Austin, TX (staying with my momma!!!)
April 19th: Drive to OKC, OK (stay with Jenny)
April 21st: Drive to Tulsa, OK (stay with Heather)
April 24th: Drive to Shawnee, OK (stay with Paige)
April 27th: Drive to Birmingham, AL (stay with Meredith)
April 29th: Drive to Atlanta (settle with Teresa)
Though I am excited about coming home, there is still a lot that needs to be done here. Please pray that God will give me the strength and grace to finish well.
I love you all and can't wait to see you soon!

prayer needs:
- please keep my friend Heather in your prayers, due to some complicated health problems she has to have a minor surgery on January 6th and pre-testing today, January 2nd.
- please pray that I will finish well
praises:
- The time with Sabrina's mom, Susan, went really well. We got her safely on the plane this last weekend.
- Our trip to Windhoek was wonderful! We saw 2 movies! 2!!! (Madagascar 2 and Australia for the curious) I always feel like the hick going to the big city when we go... but we enjoyed the conveniences of shopping and great restaurants!
P.S. I have also added some pictures from December when Rundu hosted the 14th Annual Nation Cultural Dance Festival. It was amazing and I was excited to get so many pictures! I have only included a few here...
