Have peanut butter, will travel...

As of about 3:06 AM, Tori is on her way to Kenya. She's going to hate that I put this picture up but she won't know for about 10 days so, oh well...

It was the expected emotional send off with an unexpected twist but all in all, she got off great and is ready to be there.

She recieved lots of sound advise from lots of people and one of those nuggets was to take some good, healthy snacks. So she took a jar of peanut butter, some ritz crackers, some granola bars and some other things, and of course, two bags of Hot Tamales. :) She loves those things! Her suitcase was about 3 lbs over the weight limit but we just couldn't figure out what to take out so Tommy and I told her that if they even notice, to just pay the extra charge and move on. This morning, though, another team member said her bag was under so Tori could transfer some of her stuff into hers. They're already working as team. We couldn't figure out what was heavy enough to take out anyway that would actually add up to three pounds except maybe her peanut butter and shampoo/conditioner and she certainly wasn't leaving those behind!

If I get specific updates about Tori, I'll post them here but you can check for general team updates on the Hope For Kenya blog. Just pray for her today, she wasn't looking forward to the long plane rides but is excited to fulfill her dream to be on Kenyan soil.
