So this is my first official post on this blog--and my first official post since I left my old blog a few years ago. Ah, the good old days.
So here I am at my house. I leave in just a few minutes but I thought I might as well make my first entry. Anyway, so on this blog Erika and I plan to record our full Africa trip. I'm not at all sure why it has to be called "Riding Camels and Surfing in the Sea" but apparently that's some inside joke, so please readers, don't get confused. I don't think we'll be doing any of that. In fact, we plan on doing missions work, so yeah. Don't worry, all your funding wasn't a complete waste.
My mom just said she's getting the car out. I really should quick finish packing, but there again, is a classic example about how relaxed and calm I am. Is this a bad thing? Hmm... I don't know. We'll see by the end of this all.
I just finished filling up my mp3 players so I'm all set for a 20 hour flight. I also made a few gross sandwiches so I won't have to pay a ridiculous amount for food at the airport.
Okay, I really should go now. This isn't funny. Here I go. Farewell Grand Rapids. Love you all and thanks so much for your support and keep checking for updates up here.

John and I are going to South Africa, so we thought we'd start a blog to share our experiences with you.

Re: the "gross" sandwich remark-in case you don't know "gross" merely means "large" in German. John needed to make food for Erica bc she packed so much STUFF there was no room for essentials.
Mrs. Sikma...you spelled my name wrong. also, I had all the essentials. I fed JOHN on the way, after the sandwiches were gone. clearly he needed MORE essentials.
