Hello from Nairobi, Kenya.
I am partially through my long journey home, and find myself in Kenya! Random i know. Since i had a long layover, i figured i would give you all a short update of my last two weeks in Swazi. For the most part i had very successful goodbyes, i got to see and spend time with almost everyone that i have gotten to know here, so that was a huge blessing. But at the same time, i didnt feel right about the whole thing, i just couldnt face the reality of really saying goodbye to these people and this culture, i knew i had to be back someday.
It is crazy to me that i have left swaziland, and wont wake up there in the morning. I feel as though i have just temporarily been taken away from what i have come to know as my home. Unfortunately, once I boarded my first flight, reality did start to sink in. I almost immediately felt a huge sense of loneliness, because for the first time in 5 months, i am not with my teammates. I looked at pictures and was devastated, not knowing when i get to see my babies again. I know that once i do finally arrive home, the transition will probably get even harder, so i suppose flying is a good buffer zone, eh? I am scared to face the crazy busy life that is waiting for me back home, so please have patience with me!!
And on a lighter note, im completely stoked to share stories and pictures with anyone who wants to hear/see!
seeee you sooon
