Today I can say with good reason that I wish I was home- January 20, 2009 has finally arrived after so much hope and anticipation and I am in AFRICA!!! I do wish that I was going to be there at Obama's inauguration with my family, what an exciting time! Unfortunately, I am about to leave for Bap so I won't even be able to watch on TV. Oh well, I can be a proud and excited American while I play with the most adorable kiddies in the world =)
In other news, IT IS MY LAST SHIFT AT BAP! So sad... I don't want to talk about it.
Lastly, I think I lost my credit card. And I might be coming home 2 days early. These two events are not related and I will explain more later. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Lauren,
We certainly missed you today at Obama's inauguration, but we knew you were being a good Obama ambassador by volunteering and caring for the babies who need so much love and attention. We look forward to watching today's incredible ceremony again with you when you come home. That will be fun!
love,
Mom
Hey Laur,
The inauguration was so amazing and inspiring-- such a triumph! We had an awesome time but of course missed you. At least you'll enjoy watching it from the warm comforts of the living room. :)
Here's an idea: why don't you stay in Johannesburg those few nights instead of changing your flight or instead of flying Jo'burg-Capetown-Jo'burg?
Hope your last shift is going well! Enjoy every moment!
xoxo

Lauren, you missed a great and inspiring event, but take solace in that the service you are providing is what our new president is asking of us all.
And there will be a slide show dedicated to you to share some of our highlights.
---With love from Dad
