TICKET!
I have bought a ticket! Yes, I finally did. I am set to leave Nairobi on the 17th of January. I want to spend a couple days on the east coast so I don't have an arrival time yet. I'll keep you all posted. I am facing the departure with bittersweet emotions. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone again, but have formed some good friendships here. I am feeling good about the timing, though. I was afraid I wouldn't get to say goodby to Moses (one of my dancers and a very good friend) because he is in Mombassa and was going to return after I had left! But he got an earlier ticket. I will be here for the first week of school, so I will get to say goodby to all my students. And maybe if I'm really lucky there may still be some snow on the ground when I land in Seattle.

Really looking forward to seeing you Cheri. I found out today from Deb, who talked to your Dad on the phone, that you had bought your ticket. At this point, we have walls of dirty snow lining the streets and eight foot mounds of snow in the parking lots that will take ages to melt. Locals probably don't wish for more snow - many have had their fill. (Did you know we cancelled service 2 Sundays in a row as well as the Christmas Eve service? the city of Monroe had about 2 feet; we had about 3 feet at our house. It's been pretty crazy.) See you soon!
