Breanne Can't wait to see you all! Thanks for all the messages from home. I will try to post some more pictures from the end of my trip later when I get back to the states. I haven't been able to find internet lately that is fast enough to download them. I have less than 10 hours left in Africa....crazy!

Joann Thanks for all the blogs- my middles school students loved reading each blog. The pictures were great and the video was awesome!! The 8th graders loved reading about Kenya while we were studying the continent of Africa. If you come to Iowa to see Aunt Nancy, I'd love to meet you and hear more about your adventure. Again thank you for making Afica a real place for students that have been no further than the border of Iowa.

Meg krogs Your trip sounded AWESOME! See you on Friday!!!! Crazy, only 4 days!

DAD Hi Kiddo, Sorry we didn't get to talk longer this morning. I hope you had a nice time visiting Mary's home village this weekend. You can let Mary know Obama is close to securing the democratic nomination, but Hillary is being a soar loser and won't concede...so there's lots of bickering between the two sides. Also let her know we'd love to host her stay here if she ever visits America, although she'd probably have a hard time with the weather..............still too cold! We are all really looking forward to your return Friday. I'm sure it will be a difficult adjustment for you, so I took the weekend off so we could thoroughly Krogmanize you back to reality. So be prepared to be scared straight! Love you.................DAD

middle sister Wussup?!!? sooooo how was the coast!!! you have to update us with the blog!!! I'm sure it was awesome fun. Tomorrow i have my apush exam!!! Hopefully it will go better than the last time i took an AP test. Then next week i have ap lang on wed. and after that i'm DONE....since those are the classes i care about. And on friday im off to 6 flags!! And your coming home of course!! Well i better go study some more!! can't wait to see you, love you!

MEGGIE MOO B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take much more of this separation anxiety, its killing me! only a few short weeks and we will be back in each other's arms!!!! love always and forever, your one and only LOVAAAHHHHH, MEGGIE, and never forget that, OUR LOVE IS LIKE A HOLIDAY.

Aunt Nancy Bre- Was your trip to the coast this past weekend or is it this coming weekend? Either way, I hope you had or will have a fantastic time! OK, how were you able to stand no shower for 6 weeks? You must be awful good at those bucket baths. I'm sure a "true" shower is going to feel like heaven when you return to the States. Hope all is going well with your paper writing. It will be good to have that behind you. Life has been a bit crazy at the Dau house. Good thing summer is on its way or this aunt might go a bit "loco"...as if I'm not already. It always seems April and May are the most hectic. Everything gets packed on to the end of the school year. It will be nice to spend time together at Meg's graduation. OUr last day with school kids is May 23rd, so I think I'll come to Wis. early to catch up with you girlies and help Mama Sue with grad. prep. Can't wait to see you then!! MISS YOU!! Love always ! Aunt N

tyrizzle b- I knew this whole "study abroad" thing was just some lame excuse for a vacation in Africa. No studying for finals? i bet you didnt even have any, because, you know, you need to take classes to have a final... Enjoy your last few weeks and have a few tuskers for me. We actually have finals to study for over here across the pond and . . well we will have to wait and see about that postcard you sent =P keep rockin the blog.

Patti Gosh Breanne...I feel like it was just yesterday that I came over to say goodbye to you and give my well wishes. WOW how time flies. I love the pictures and how professional you look. The knowledge you have gained, both profesionally and personally, is probably so huge that I can't even imagine the emotions you're experiencing right now! To leave those that you have really grown to know as your "family" will be tough but to be HOME again...what memories you will have to share with all your family and friends here!! I am sure your mom is so thrilled to see that day come closer and closer! Enjoy your vacation on the beach and hopefully I will see you when you return to the U.S. ! Take Care!

D. Berry Obama '08! Si se puede! Yes we can! How exciting to touch the international landscape with such a simple message. Danielle arrived in Chicago on Monday and she's glad to be home, yet misses her new friends already. No doubt your last few weeks will be wonderful, yet bittersweet as well. Cherish these memorable events for a lifetime! Best wishes, D. Berry

Mama Susy Hey!Glad to hear Mama Mary liked her bumper sticker. I almost forgot I had sent that. Darlene Berry got it for me when she saw Obama in Madison. I thought Mama Mary might just tape it to her chest. Dad said he called this morning, without me, I might add, and all was good! The girls have a track meet at Wausua W. tonight. Dad has inventory today, which I'm sure he told you, which he says is the cause of his very happy disposition these days! I'm sure we'll be calling on Sunday while you're busy sunning your buns! Enjoy! Counting the days.....love you................madre

Aunt Mary Hi Bre-- How we LOVE all your blogs!! You are having quite the experiences which is so awesome. I'm sure you have a different perspective on alot of things now. Hope your finals and papers go well. We pray for you and think about you all the time. We can't wait to see you. Enjoy your last weeks--I know you will be missed when you leave. We love you!! Aunt Mary

Grandpa & Grandma K. Hi Breanne, Enjoyed the pictures of your time in Nkubu. I'm sure you made a great impression on the residents there & those working with you at the hospital. They will all miss you, especially the kids. I suppose you are looking forward to your return. We are all anxious to see you again & hear about your trip. We are still waiting for warm weather here but things are looking green so that helps. Hopefully, it will be sunny & warm when you return. Take care.........Love...........Grandpa & Grandma
