Reality Check & Futbols

So today was my last day at work for a while. I left work (I was there by myself - everyone else was either on vacation, sick or had left early) and I just felt like 'now it's really happening'. Which, of course it is really happening! I don't know how to explain it, but I guess I've been waiting a long time to take leave from work - I always thought about how that time would be - and here I am actually doing it. I'm going to be a mom, and I'm going to be hanging out with my son all day. That thought hit me and I could not stop smiling. This all might not make sense, but it's good. :)

Also, today I went to the local soccer store to see about buying some soccer balls to take with us to Ethiopia. I think the kids at the House of Hope and the orphanage we'll be visiting would love to have some new futbols to play with, and we're soccer fans, so it will be fun to share that with them. I told the guy why I wanted them and he told me that he was going to Africa with school. I asked which country and he didn't know!! SO funny! Anyway... the point of this is to say that he went in back and talked to team sales and got me a great deal on the soccer balls. Now I just have to get them to fit in the suitcase. (Oh, they are not inflated yet in case anyone is wondering if I'm crazy.)
