Missed it by an Inch.....

Yesterday there was a bombing in Kampala, Uganda. Holy shit. Thank God the rest our team wasnt hurt. I can't believe that there was a bombing where I was staying! Apparantly Jaki's parents have grounded her (from leaving the country)...... I guess that just means that I am going to have to smuggle her out of the country when we go back in 2 years. That might be a little difficult. Anyway, I cant believe that I have been home for 2 weeks already, the time is literally flying past me....... I guess thats a good thing, right? The body count for the unfortunate event that occured yesterday is up to 74. One of those happens to be an American who was out there volunteering with Invisable Children. I cant wait to see everyone. I cant wait to hear all the new stories that I missed out on.

R.I.P. Dirty Little Garden Lobster.....

Here's a fun story for you. Randi and I were playing Wii bowling in the basement, and my parents came home from dinner with some work people. We go upstairs to say hi and my mom turns to me and asks "Do you know why there is a lobster in our garden?" My first thought was that a neighbor put a ceramic lobster in the dirt as some sort of weird joke... you know, to see how long it took us to notice it or something..... but no. Apparantly there is some sort of REAL (but dead) crustacean on the side of the garage. So naturally, we have to grab the flashlight out of the closet and go investigate. Are they really being serious? Or is this some sort trap that we are going into so they can sneak up on us and scare the crap out of us? No..... sure enough, right by the gate, there is a little 4 inch lobster that is dead on its back. Its covered in dirt..... and a few ants, but its real. I find this kinda funny, because my question is "where the hell did it come from?" I kn...

Safe Travels....

I wonder if anyone even still reads this or not. Oh well. For those of you who dont know, I was not able to go back to Uganda this summer. (Its really sad and im really upset about it) However, most of the team was able to! Andy, Kevin and Glenna went out there about a week ago and the rest of the team is leaving tonight around 9:30pm. I wish you all safe travels, and most of all, have fun! I want all of you to know that I am already saving for next years trip! I already have about $100! I know, I know, its nowhere near enough, but thats why im starting now. Not being able to go this summer made me realize how much I love it there, and I guess you can say that lit a fire under my ass to get moving! Again, to my friends leaving today, and to my friends who are already there..... I hope you have a great trip. Be safe (Drew, try not to cut your own sugar cane if you can help it, and Jaki, watch your leg on the Bodas!), enjoy the smiles, and most of all, have fun while helping people! Im p...
