I miss it...

This Is Africa!

My husband and I went to South Africa to meet Vashti, one of the co-founders of Project O



We did a ton while we were there! The woman in pink is Ronelle and she is an awesome lady. :) I miss her already. We went shopping!




We met far too many cute children in both South Africa and Ethiopia, where we stopped for a few days.






We had some great food




We saw so many amazing things!






We saw a lot of sad things too





But I think it changed us and I want to keep that feeling alive for the rest of our lives

I'm A Planner...And I Could Always Use Your Help!!

It's been a good weekend! Lots of luncheons, both at church. One for the community and one for Reformation. Happy Reformation Sunday! And we also did Bread For The World Sunday, where we wrote letters to our senators and congressmen to help solve world hunger.

AND...

I'm allowed to have another luncheon to help Project O! And it's going to be on Valentine's Day!! So I'm super excited. It gives me plenty of time to plan. I know that I want to do a cupcake-cake.

Like this...



But probably not as nice. And varied colors. What do you think?! I'm all excited about it. My husband says I'm a planner. :-D

We also have our hotel room for Ethiopia!!! And I'm so excited for my trip to the Philippines/Hong Kong and then to South Africa/Ethiopia and THEN I have a friend who wants to do a trip to Kenya in 2011 so we can go here...



This is the Giraffe Manor!! I mean, we'll see if we'd be able to go, but how cool is that?!

How was your weekend? What are you up to?
