Ouch!
On Wednesday Brian and I got our first round of vaccinations for travel later this year. As far as I can tell, there aren't any required vaccinations for Ethiopia, but there are quite a few recommendations. We decided to get six vaccinations, but only received three this week. We have two more appointments over the next 4 weeks for the remaining shots. The doctor had the strangest technique for giving the shots. She stuck all three needles into my arm at once, then injected each vaccine one at a time, then removed all three needles. I think I preferred that over three individual shots. So far, neither one of us have become sick from the vaccines. But both of us had a sore arm for a while.Oops!
Periodically I'll check out the kids DVDs because they're nice to have on hand when babysitting. So a few weeks ago when I saw a cartoon about a guy and his lion and their trip to Africa for about 2 euros, I decided to buy it. The tagline for the movie is something about it being a great adventure for the whole family. Today I decided to watch it with a little boy we were babysitting, but we only watched about five minutes before I decided to turn it off -- due to profanity.
A healthier me
This past week Brian and I have made some pretty major changes to our diet. We were both tired of eating too many convenience and/or processed foods and we were ready for a change. I'm really quite impressed with us. :) Not only have we changed what we eat, but we've changed how we eat. I want to give it a few more weeks before I write much about it, but I'm really excited about what we're doing.

I'm really glad to hear you are eating healthier. Dad and I really have to start doing that again soon. Let me know how you're doing.
