I'm back in action!

I have been MIA for over 2 months and it's time to get back to the blogging. I've had a wonderful summer with family and friends, and have been able catch up with so many people and take in all the wonderful luxuries of home! Some of my favorites that I will be trying to soak in as much as possible over the next 4 days are: a refrigerator-- especially pressing a button to get ice cubes!, electricity 24/7, snuggling under my covers and actually feeling cold (a foreign concept in Ghana!), eating lots of veggies and meat, and enjoying the outdoors...biking, swimming, rollerblading, playing tennis, etc.

I've started packing, and thanks to so many generous people, I have lots and lots and lots of luggage to take back... anything from vitamins to shoes to clothes to socks to band-aids for the kids...and much more! I'm sure I will make quite the scene in the airport, but I'm just hoping it all makes it there. :)
