So I figured today is a good day to write my first blog entry. Today marks exactly 3 years that I have been married to the most wonderful husband in the whole world! We are celebrating tonight with lasagna and funfetti cupcakes (which did not come cheap, but I’m just happy we found the mix here). Also, last time we were in Dar, pillsbury strawberry frosting was on sale (and when I say on sale, I mean less than $5 a can). I never would have bought strawberry frosting back home, but when you find frosting for a good deal…you gotta jump on it, you may never see it again…so I bought 3 cans!! Given it is past the expiration date, but it will still be good. This year there will be no anniversary presents exchanged because we spent all our money to go on our vacation to Zanzibar (which was worth every penny!). And we have the most special gift on the way in January…who needs more stuff?
We also celebrated another anniversary at the beginning of this month…October 9 marked one year since we arrived in Africa. Some days it feels like a lot shorter, and then there are days that I think it must be more than just a year. But it sure has been a crazy year and it is hard to believe that a little over a year ago, we were in Georgia eating Olive Garden, speaking not a lick of Swahili, and getting ready to fly halfway across the world.
Anyway, I’m starting this blog mainly so that family and friends can keep up with us. Nate keeps up with our ministry blog: www.beautifulfeetofTZ.wordpress.com/home But this will be more about our family, more personal… so that friends and family can keep up with the upcoming arrival of our precious little baby girl Zoe (which…let’s be honest…is the most important thing to certain soon-to-be grandparents right now).
That’s all I have for now…happy anniversary to my amazing husband ! Oh, and I’m putting some pictures below.
Oh, and I would like to thank my mom for the sweet anniversary card she sent. Yes, my mother, the woman who gave birth to me. Notice in the picture, the card is for her son and for her "daughter"...so basically she considers Nate a son and I am "like a daughter." I always had a feeling my parents liked Nate better...this confirms it. Just kidding, of course, I love my mom.
