Things I am Going to Miss Part 1

Today I have exactly eight weeks left in country, two months. I am going to be home to this day in two months. I have to say, I am overwhelmed with happiness and sadness of this fact. I am sure you can understand the many reasons why I am excited to go home. I get to see family, friends, and loved ones…it has been almost eight months since I have been in the States, a long time coming!

I am also sad to leave because, there are so many things I am going to miss here in Cameroon. I decided to dedicate one post a week of the things that I am going to miss when I am back in the States.

I am going to miss the following:

-Watching Friends with Kathleen

- Black fuzzy puppies

-The CTC reading room in Yaounde

-Jane (The cat everyone hates, but I love)

-Baby (My horse)

-Taking a taxi everywhere

-Walking out to the garden to pick strawberries, cilantro, parsley, zucchini, and other veggies.

-Crazy Cameroonian rainstorms

-Delphine and Nicoline (The house help)

-Northwest Coffee (I am going to be taking literally 20 bags home with me)

-Talking with Carol (The amazing Swiss woman who has been adopted into the Jackson Village)

-Karen’s laugh

-Hearing Maimu say every night “This is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams”

That concludes the list this week; I shall share more as the weeks continue to fly by! This weekend is going to be yet another busy one! This weekend, besides movie and a pizza night, Kathleen, Katelyn, and I are going to Georgia’s apartment! We are going to watch movies, maybe go out to a waterfall, and just hang out! So looking forward to it! I am sure we are going to be doing some hiking as well! Hope all of you have a wonderful day!
