in three days time i will find myself in a different country starting some vacation time and preparing to head home. my three plus months in iraq are officially over and there will be no more trips to projects, just packing an maybe one more iraqi meal.
i have enjoyed my time here in baghdad (as much as one can) and think that i have learned a lot. i have learned what we can do better and how we could reach more people. i have learned patience through testing! i have learned to keep my head down.
this has been an experience that i will carry with me for the rest of my life. i have made friends that will remain here and keep working and friends whom have already headed home. i can say that i was part of this effort, however history will describe it.
so that is about it. i will spend the next two days saying goodbye and packing by backpack for a trip to london. so long iraq; good luck and God speed.

What an adventure! But I'm so glad you're on your way home!
I'm really proud of you.
Happy packing, safe travels, enjoy London, and we'll see you when you get here!
God bless, I can't wait to hear first hand about your time there. I know a lot of folks, including me in some ways, have become disillusioned. It will be good to hear straight from the horses mouth what is being done there and why we should stay behind this effort. Praising God for your safety while there and praying for your continued safety until you reach DC (HOME)!!! JoyAnna
