An unexpected turn of events..

So, as many of you probably know (if anyone is still reading this) that I am now back in the good old US of A. It's a bit of a story but the short of it is that I got Malaria and Typhoid and unfortunately couldn't just man up and handle it, so I went home. But let me tell you, I don't think I have ever been so sick in my entire life. There was one point where I seriously thought I might die. On the up side I did drop a few pounds (but I really wouldn't recommend this the typhoid and malaria diet) It was hard to leave and I still wonder if I made the right decision. Now, being back in the states I just don't feel I belong here. I don't know, but I guess sometimes that's normal. Everyone keeps asking me when/if I will be going back. I tell them that I think I'm going to be home for a while now but the truth is I still am very much considering going to Africa with the DTS in January though, again, it would take another act of God. I really starting to realize how much I miss Haiti and the other staff and students. They really did treat me like family and it was hard to leave them, especially the way I did. But they were very nice and understanding about it. Haitians are really very special people.

Well, so I guess that's that. If you have any questions just leave me a comment or drop me an email. But remember: you can take Lauren out of Haiti but you can't take the Haiti out of Lauren ;) GOD BLESS MY PEOPLE!!

Oh, and by the way, the thing that I was referring to, the "Now that I know what I'm doing..." It was the whole blogger thing. Lame, I know.
