This blog chronicles my life as a wife, mom, dental hygienist, photographer, and smart aleck. I make my home in Washington State. My favorite things are laughing, eating good food, taking pictures, cake decorating, blogging, and serving dental missions in third world countries. I stick my foot in my mouth so often we'll go ahead and call that a favorite hobby, too. I like to think of my blog readers as friends I invite into my home. So welcome. Come on in.

Scoop: Nepal Trip
Unfortunately, I do not know a ton about my upcoming trip yet. I wish I did! I am itching for more info. Here is what I do know:
This mission is not with Medical Teams International, as it was when I went to Cambodia. Humanitarian organizations only serve certain countries, and since I had my heart set on going to Nepal, I had to find a group that serves there. Introducing Global Dental Expeditions.
I leave April 16th and will be gone for 3 weeks. (I promise I will blog as much as I can!)
We will spend 2 weeks doing dentistry in the capital city of Kathmandu, then we will fly up into the Himalaya and go trekking. We will trek the Mt. Everest trail. We won't make it all the way into base camp, but we will at least get to see the mountain.
I do not know my team or how big it will be. I won't meet them until I get there.
That's it! Frustrating, huh?! I will post more as I learn more.

A lesson in patience perhaps? I will be reading along as I thoroughly enjoy living vicariously through you!
