fauxhawk for funds
I’ve been home for about four hours. (Does anyone even still check my blog!?)
So far I’ve…
- cleaned out and restocked my fridge (after a quick stop at the grocery store)
- made cappuccinos (we miss Italy!)
- weeded through my work emails (all I did was delete trash)
- transferred PayPal donations (praise God for His provision)
- scribbled a few “I’m home!” emails (if you didn’t get one… I’m home!)
- gasped when I saw 767 posts in my Google Reader (uhhh, that’s gonna take a while), and …
- checked out what the interns have been up to on Facebook.
There’s lots swirling in my head about our trip, but I’m saving my thoughts till I have more time to write a real blog post. (Or three. Or seven.)
In the meanwhile, if you’ve got three minutes to spare, check this out. Niel placed a challenge before our interns just days before we left for our vacation:
Wanna get in on the action? You can see the interns’ progress, make a donation, and share a suggestion for Niel’s haircut right here. And of course you’ll see pictures of my husbter’s new do on haircut day!
I’m off to unpack!

PS — I’ve missed you guys!

Hey snotball.
I missed you. I hope you had a great trip. Can’t wait to hear all about it. Can’t wait to reconnect with you (but don’t take that as pressure…I know you’re super e-overloaded!)
Love you!
Hooray … you’re back! Glad you had a great trip! Looking forward to hearing about it.
Oh how I missed Alece!!!

I thought of you SEVERAL times, none of which I can mention on the blog. HAHA!! ;-)
love you! Can’t wait to “chat.”
Oh hey, Brent and Tam bought me a microphone so I can skype. They love me, they REALLY love me! heehee I am so excited to skype! :D
I still check your page!! I don’t think I wrote many blogs while you were gone, I was on a little blog break. So glad you are home and doing well. Love and blessings!!
I totally missed you…since reading your blog helps to fix my homesickness for South Africa some.
Can’t wait to see pictures from Italy and hear about the trip.
Hey there!
Welcome back!
Oh, how I’ve missed you.
It’s great to see you back. Well great for us anyway. I sounds like you really enjoyed yourself in Italy.
How do you think Niel would look in dreadlocks?
I would be happy if I had enough hair for any style do. I am stuck with a very, very wide part.

Lesotho sheepies? I’ve missed you. I’ll write you soon. I can’t really sit yet, so I can’t write much length, but hopefully tomorrow I’ll be more on the up and up.
I love you!
