Since on August 1st I will officially say goodbye to my 20's, my license expires that day. I didn't think it would be a good idea to let it expire while in Africa (they may not let me come back home), so we went today to renew it. It was surprisingly the easiest process I have ever encountered at the DMV & we were in & out in 15 minutes. Wow.... I am still amazed AND I actually got a decent picture! That's a miracle all in itself! See... Miracles do still happen. :)
We also had to go to the Health Dept. today and get our yellow fever vaccine. Poor David hates shots and I threw him under the bus and told them he hadn't had a tetanus shot in more than 10 years so he had to get that too. Oops!! He has such a fear of shots. Not of the actual shot itself but of the possible side effects. We both survived though and it was a fairly easy process as well. Those shots costs over $350.... So thank you soooo much to those of you that have donated to us and has helped us raise the money!
This weekend we will be turning in the rest of the money we have raised to pay for our plane tickets, room, & food expenses while we are there. This has so far been an awesome journey and I have actually really enjoyed the fundraising part. I got to sit down with several people and share with them what we will be doing in Africa and why we felt led there. But the best part was witnessing as people stepped up to God's call and assisted us financially and prayerfully.
I leave you for now with this picture of David and I going into the Health Dept to get our shots. I just love this man! He is so much fun and truly makes my life enjoyable!
