Trick or Treat?!

Last week Gwen and a couple of her friends came over to find Gwen something to dress-up in, I just thought that they were playing "dress-up's". Little did I know they had gone trick-or-treating! And the amazing thing is that they got candy, I guess they were to cute to turn down.

Happy Birthday!!!

Yay! yesterday was my birthday, the big ol' 17. I do feel really old now...It was a great day, we had Enchiladas and Lemon Pound Cake for dinner, two of my favorite things! It was delish! Jay went a little crazy with the butter on my nose, it was gross. After dinner we watched a movie together, it was a fun day overall!

A Whale of a Tale

One of the joys of being here in Launda is that we live right on the coast so we enjoy the wonderful coastal breeze and the gorgeous view. Esso provides boats for its employees to enjoy. So a group of ladies took me out to see the whales. They are migrating now and I'm not sure what direction they are going. This group of ladies are seasoned African Expats. They have been wonderful help.
My friend Debbie in the pink Texas Tech has been a heaven send! Her family leaves us next week for Houston.

I was the only one with a point and shot camera they all had these huge cameras with telaphoto lenses!! They said I shouldn't do a safari without one. I'll be sure to tell John! The whales are a type of humpback.

There is just something awesome about seeing these beautiful creatures up close. Almost a reverence, I just felt so much gratitude for a wonderful world to live and enjoy.
