That’s right…. I’m going to be an Aunt! WOOHOO! Which makes my parents GRANDPARENTS. Mind-blowing.

In other, less exciting news, Gloria and I are resting in Kampala for a few days. We’ve been doing things like internet and coffee-drinking, and attending wedding meetings.
What’s a wedding meeting? Well, when people have weddings in Ug, they have two [...]

Bits.
(I wrote this on Saturday- Day 2 of my time in Uganda, by the way, but never posted it.)
I’m in Uganda!
During the two flights and day-long layover in London I had a bit of time to reflect on the wedding of the year- Laura & Justin 08. Some of the best parts were:

the Zilla?
I always think that the world stops when I’m traveling or wedding-ing.
This weekend since I’m the maid-of-honor in my best friend Laura’s wedding, and getting ready to (hopefully) travel to see my African sister on Wednesday, I am a bit distant from the reality of everyday life. But the past week and a half at [...]

The Good Fight.

LoveFest ‘99.
So Lent is over… and Holy Week is here! Father Jim said yesterday that this is a week to recognize Love all around us. Cuz Bethie called it “LoveFest ‘99.”
In honor of LoveFest ‘99, I’m going to keep journal of love everywhere I find it.
I think you should too.

Raindrops on Roses.
I can play Sound of Music on the piano… all the songs. At one (low) point in my musical career I could sing Edelweiss, while I played some chords with my left hand and the melody with my right. I never quite mastered the yodeling puppet song, but that was sort of a weird moment [...]
