well, being the good pharmacist that i am, i decided that today would be the day for preventative medicine...gross. most of you probably know how much i absolutely HATE shots, so this was quite a monumental occasion for me. we each got 3. and they hurt. i can barely type right now because my arms are so sore...unfortanately for me, i know it will be much worse tomorrow and i will be at work for 12 hours!

human pincushion
so, dave and i are going back to africa! we are leaving in 2 weeks- we're flying to rome to spend a week in italy, then we are going to kenya, sudan, and egypt. we will pretty much be gone from after thanksgiving to right before christmas. so, please put us on your prayer list until then :) im getting really excited and also a little nervous.

here's an after picture. i got hit up with yellow fever, tetanus, the flu and i have to take an oral typhoid vaccine. ugh. dave got meningitis, hep a, hep b, and the flu. it all put quite a dent in our health savings account...vaccines are expensive!
this is the best part...i did a bunch of research and found a place where they only charge you for the vaccine, not the "office visit"...here it is. yes, its called Shots, etc. and its in a strip mall in bellevue. when we pulled up, dave immediately wanted to turn around. i had to assure him that this place is totally legit and recommended by the cdc...just looks a little ghetto...
