Hello all! I'm here! It feels so good to be in Kenya again.
My flights were looooooong and painful- my knees were KILLING me- but as always, it is so fun to read and watch movies and just relax for 2 days! It's like a mini vacation.
Now I'm here, in Ngong. I'm staying with my friend Susan (as per usual) and it just feels so...so right to be here. It's funny. I was thinking about all the things about Kenya that don't make sense for me. I HATE it when people are late to things- and people here are experts at being late. They make the latest latster from the States seem prompt.
They eat meat.
They are morning people.
And there are others which I can't think of right now. But in spite of any list I might come up with, Kenya feels like home. At times it can seem counterintuitive to want to be here- but my heart knows.
My heart feels content.
I will try to update when I can. In the meantime, I have a cell phone:
+254721930508
so you can text me and tell me how much you miss me. : )
And I figured out how to update Twitter from my phone here (that is a bald-faced lie. Nathan Hagglund figured out how I can update Twitter from my phone here.). The point is- you can follow my Twitter updates there on the left, or, if you're into that sort of thing, I believe you can get my updates sent to your phone.
That way, when I send a text from my phone that says 'oh my gosh, I'm about to get swallowed by a girafe' you will know about it RIGHT AWAY.
Grace and peace to you all. Hope you're all doing well!
Ash

Good to hear from you.
It was great to hear that you made it safely. I'm really glad. I hope all is well with you, and that you don't make it too much your home.
"Hey, Kenya? Uh.. can't we.. you know.. have Ashby back... please..."
I am glad you are home, where your heart desires to be. Be safe. We miss you. LOVES!
You've got to love technology!
Have a wonderful time Ash. I will pray it is relaxing and productive at the same time. Miss you!

If you do get eaten by a giraffe, will we see the outline of your skinny, but adorable bod in his neck?
Working on the visual here....
