drumroll please...

In the middle of alllll the craziness with school, I've been fantasizing with my friend Dahlia about meeting somewhere during the winter break. She wanted an internship, and I really just wanted to go back to Uganda, but I was willing to go wherever if the door opened. Dahlia and I haven't seen each other since the beginning of the year, when we met while she was visiting family in Cairo, and she's been one of my dearest friends since. We both have the same crazy obsession with Africa, she more with west africa and me more with...well you all know...Uganda. :) Turns out, she scored an internship in Uganda...soooooo, I'm going to meet her there!! Yep, I got the ticket and everything. This will only be my third time back, but I feel like that place is my home, and the people are my family. I can't believe I get to share it with her, especially after the last trip when my MOM! came. Really, Uganda and Joshua and his family and the kids, they're the only thing in my life that makes sense right now. How is it possible that I get to go back again so soon? And that Dahlia is coming? wow. Feels weird to be blessed.

i need a place
thats hidden in the deep,
where lonely angels sing you to your sleep,
when all the world is broken.
