So it's a beautiful day in Kitale...we made it through the night safely after our (unnecessary?) scare and had a good morning at Oasis and in town...
But Im super sad...Today Im having a rough day and trying hard to not miss home. And when i say miss home, I dont mean in the sense of wanting to move back or anything.

It has just been a big weekend in Nashville as far as stuff going on and for the first time I'm having a really hard time not getting over not being there.

Theres another big event tonight that Im missing the most and it involves my best
friend and one of my favorite places in the world...

I feel bad for Allison because she has seen me crying randomly throughout the day for no apparent reason. I just cant help it...Since Ive been here I havent wanted to be back in the states as much as I do today...
Even as Im writing this, with tears in my eyes, Im looking at my wallpaper on my computer, which is all the Oasis boys (Evans, Moses, Martin, Timothy, Paul, John, Edwin, Steward, Braum, Elvis, Jonah, Joseph, Johnstone...) and Im reminded of why I'm so happy here, why I feel at home here...
So it cancels out the tears for a minute before I start crying again and selfishly wishing I could just go home for today and come back tomorrow...
If only right?!
