grumpy

Packing seems to always make me grumpy. 

Maybe it's because I'm sick of moving...I've had a total of 2 major and 3 minor moves in the year 2012.

Maybe it's because I'm tired of leaving places.

Maybe it's because I'm dreading the 20-hour journey.

Maybe it's because I realize how little of my treasures are actually in heaven.


Whatever it is, I'm finally done and going to spend a few days with some of the awesomest people I know, which helps alleviate some of my grumpiness.

"They won't be expecting that..."

How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
-How Many Kings, Downhere

something you probably won't find in america...

In honor of my arrival in the States, a picture of something you probably won't find in America...


If I'm completely honest, this one stumped me for a few minutes...but it is definitely a brilliant mixture of African and Western...

as i'm leaving Uganda for a month...

Some pictures of signs I'll likely be seeing on my way...

because don't we all want glucose everyday?

Secret no more! It's only 300m away!

What the heck?? Stop! 
This isn't exactly a sign, but it's my new favorite drink of all time. The holidays won't be the same without it...maybe I'll bring some home.
krest is king.
See you on the other side of the ocean...
