it's been too long! since our last update we've been busy combating various intestinal parasites (yum), yelling obscenities at jillian michaels and taking sunset strolls along the river nile. here's the breakdown, sensory style.
watching: parenthood. (almost) every night for the past two weeks has ended with our bootlegged dvds following the braverman family drama. we've laughed, we've cried, we've witnessed the ressurection of lorelai gilmore.
listening: 'tis so sweet to listen to chelsea moon
tasting: crack. we've consumed almost an entire large bottle in record breaking time. pizza, crepes, tacos, and of course asian stir fry which we make on average three times a week.
touching: american boys. but not like that. but kind of like that. it's a big day in the life of this blog! we've never talked about boys before, but the words out. we both have boyfriends and they both came to visit. it was kind of like this, except they didn't come at the same time.
smelling: burning charcoal/plastic , african body odor and bonnie's homemade wheat bread. two steps backward, one step forward.
and let us not forget the sixth sense! our intuition is telling us that this girl just might change the world--or at least rwanda, there's a 13.1 mile stretch on the pacific coast needs the love of our sneakers, and on may 9th we'll be eating chickfila for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
these are exciting times.
well I miss you guys a WHOLE lot...
ReplyDeleteI love this post! :) Funny! Y'all are going to marry y'all's boyfrans!
ReplyDeleteOh girls, I am sitting here crying at this picture of sweet Bonnie. My name is Lori Manry and Bonnie worked for our family for the four years we lived in Jinja! What a dear dear friend she is. She journeyed with me as I fell in love with Uganda. And nursed me through many homesick days with her prayers and bread and bagels. We had great fun in our kitchen. The Longs moved into our home on Kisinja Road after we left. I spoke with Bonnie a few months agao and I thought she had a different job? I'm thrilled to know she's in your home cooking -- she loves that best and she's so good at it! I'd love to hear how you met her. Please send her my love. I actually blog at environmentsofgrace.com
ReplyDeleteI'll be reading your words and keeping up. We miss Jinja deeply. Blessings on you both, Lori
