Well, I have tried to avoid doing the totally sappy posts… Alas, I feel like this occasion deserves a little sap and a lot of love to one person! I can’t even believe that today is Jeff and mine 10th anniversary… 10 YEARS… That feels huge and fabulous, but in actuality it doesn’t always feel like [...]

I had my birthday a few weeks ago and Jeff planned to have our closest Monte Belo friends over for brunch… you know, all 40 of them! Though, that included kids, and was eventually cut down by the school soccer tournament that was last minute scheduled for the same day. We had debated moving the [...]

Today was an interesting day. It started in Portuguese class where we had been given the assignment (so I was told, I missed the last class) to write a letter to a friend. We had a whole discussion of our friends in Angola. One lady, when asked who her best friend was in Angola, said she [...]

We flew back from Mauritius on Easter Sunday. That meant that we weren’t able to attend church that day, so the girls wore their new dresses the Sunday before we left. Thanks to Grandma for the cutie dresses! When we got home we rested, unpacked and then headed over to the Rec Center for a [...]

*Our favorite day of the trip was the day we charted a boat. We had decided before that we would go on at least one excursion while we were in Mauritius, several of our friends never left the resort (which would have been easy and totally fabulous), but we really love boating and thought it [...]

Are you ready for picture overload?!?! 1 whole week in Mauritius in pictures, and as most days were occupied with beach, pool, froofy drinks and sunshine I don’t feel like separating each day out! There was one day on a boat- so that will be a separate post (it was my favorite day of the [...]

I just wanted to give a little shout out to my Valentines today! My sweet Violet… who is such a silly girl, and so sweet and tries so hard to make everyone happy- especially her sister. She is such a good sport, she goes to all my classes, hangs out with my friends and is [...]

We took advantage of Angolan Labor Day and headed to the beach. We went to the further beach with our friends the Lee’s. It was a great day. Traffic wasn’t too bad, the weather was nice and the water was warm. Between the parking lot and the beachy area is a little “pond.” This time [...]

One of the things that I know, already, that I am going to miss about Angola is the community. We got a phone call one Saturday afternoon- dinner at the rec center, 4 pm. Sold! 2 hours later we are partying it up with some fabulous people, eating dinner and losing track of our children. [...]

We spent our last couple of days of vacation in a place called Sun City. It is right outside of Pilanesburg and consists of 4 hotels. They have a big entertainment area, a casino and a waterpark. We stayed there to take advantage of the waterpark. The girls LOVED it… though I had to get [...]
