How I love weddings!  It's just so beautiful to see two people so in love be put together for the rest of their lives.  

This wedding was especially wonderful though, because I was able to watch my only sister walk down the aisle and be joined to one of the best men I've ever known.  





Their faces say it all


 Everything was beautiful!


During the ceremony before Dad turned Julia over to Lee, he lifted her veil and kissed her cheek.


*tear*


She's my best friend.

Congratulations, Lee and Jewels!

About to board the big bird. {aka - about to leave for the States}

We've had a wonderful Sunday so far!  We went to Arusha for worship this morning, came back home and had a nice lunch, and have been packing away and trying to get things ready to leave tomorrow.  Tomorrow?  Is that what I said?  Sure enough!     

Hmm, it seems like Lee and Julia were just spreading the word that they were engaged, and we were saying to people "See you in 7 months!"...and now we leave tomorrow.  I'm really excited about seeing alot of people - family and close friends, but another part of me wants to stay right where I am!  I suppose that's a good thing though that I love where I am.  :)

I'm not sure if I'll have time to do a post tomorrow.  Tomorrow's the day where we change sheets, pack the last minute things {like my old toothbrush that's so frayed it looks like it's saying, "I surrender!"} into our bags, and try to get all the remnants of laundry done.  :)

So please pray that we'll have be safe while traveling, and Lord willing I'll probably see many of you soon! :D

Happy fake birthday!

Happy fake birthday, Mom! 
-
Friday is Mom's (or as she's commonly called by me, "Mum") birthday, but Dad will be gone to Karatu speaking at their preaching meeting, so we're celebrating today!

Since there isn't really anything to "do" for birthdays around here, mainly we fix something nicer for meals, sing happy birthday every few minutes, and have a "you don't get to work" day for the birthday person.  The Mum gets special privileges, of course, like- no doing laundry.  {What's a nice part about my birthday whenever it rolls around, you ask?  No doing dishes...for the entire day. *gasps*}  Oh, and we usually do make homemade ice cream.  {This also reminds me: Are we the only ones who sang "Happy Father's Day" to the tune of the birthday song?}

So everybody wish her a happy birthday, either today or Friday (or both)!

Cookie Monster has finally been updated!  Go check it out for the ravioli recipe. 

And speaking of updating and blogs, you should go check out All Things ManlyIt's pretty neat, even if it's never been updated.  Yes, it is Luke's blog!  Do you think it fits?  Julia set it up for him as a joke because he's always teasing us about our blogs.  I don't know about you people, but even though I'm not a man, reading about manly things still sounds pretty interesting.  So you all should go leave him a comment telling him he should post something!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Here we go again

It's been much too long since I've posted.  Again.  *Scuffs foot*  This is going to have to be a short, update post, though.  :)


 We went to the Mwakabanje's house for supper tonight.  They're a wonderful family, and I love them so much.  Christopher's wife, Julia is a great cook, and we all left feeling like we might need a gurney!  


Julia leaves day after tomorrowDay after tomorrow... as in tomorrow, she'll leave tomorrow.  How did it come so fast?  And we leave three weeks after she does - Yikes!

My recipe blog, Cookie Monster, has gotten a face lift, you should go check it out!  Poor little neglected thing...I'll have to put up a new recipe soon.  Maybe the ravioli recipe??

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Sorry, no treat for you today

I can hardly resist taking pictures of Don.  He's such a handsome dog!



Soakin' up some sun.  Hmm, that sounds pretty good to me, too!


{Aw}




Being popular is so tiring.


"Don, look over here!"




Hehehe.
:)
