It's another chapter in this crazy thing called life. It's a typical night before traveling to a foreign country...it's 11:30pm and I've not packed a thing. I leave my house at 9am. That's just how it works I suppose. But regardless of how slow or fast I pack, I'll be in Managua, Nicaragua by 7pm CST tomorrow, March 30th.
It's a surreal feeling to be leaving the country again. It's exciting beyond imagination to be headed somewhere I know very little about. I have no cognitive presuppositions about Nicaragua. I know that it's a poor place and that's all, except for their craft of handmade cigars, of which I will sample. I look forward to seeing things with fresh eyes and an open mind...and educated and experienced mind. After spending a month in Africa, I feel like I really learned a good deal about development work and it's struggles and complications. So, I'm really excited and honored to be able to see another section of the world, fulfilling my deep desire to see more of the world than anyone I know. (I've got a long way to go to catch up with Andrew)
So here's to travels and spending the next week butchering any and all of the Spanish language that I may have picked up while sleeping through class.

Hola, hubby. :) I love you so much. This life thing is crazy isn't it? I'm glad I get to share it with you, even if we haven't shared much lately...lol. One of these days you and I will travel together. I can see it. :)
I'm glad I won't be there for the cigar sampling. :) Hope you enjoy it. I hope things are going well for you and that you are getting wonderful footage that can be put to great use.
I'm so proud of you for what you've set your mind to do and who you are becoming. Keep letting God mold you and your dreams will come true baby.
Can't wait for the next blog...and the next kiss and hug I can get from you! :)
XOXO,
Tif
