Marvelous March!

Hello there!
It's been awhile since I've written but I am indeed still alive! In fact, right now I am sipping a hot peppermint green tea with my feet up and am growing hungrier by the minute. So...nothing's new here :)
My work is sending me to Kenya tomorrow for a conference this weekend. It is an ACSI conference for Africa and the few teachers who are returning next year were able to go. I am a little nervous about the logistics of finding my way around Nairobi (also called Nairobbery) but hope to have fun. David is then meeting me in Nairobi on Sunday and we are going to shop, be tourists, and go on a safari and see REAL LIVE WILD ANIMALS!!! Then, off to Mombasa we go for a week of lounging on the beach. This is our spring break as it falls in line with the period of mourning in Rwanda (annual period of remembrance for the genocide) and most muzungus go away for vacation. It seems that Rwanda probably isn't the most fun (or safe) place to be around during this time.
When we return, I will be getting a new student from Japan who doesn't know much English at all. I'm sure she will fit right in though... ha ha. English everyday, French class on Friday, with the occasional Kinyarwanda thrown in...she is in for quite the ride! Perhaps I should start learning Japanese too! On second thought, hand gestures it is. ;) Then again, thinking back to my last new student from Sudan, though I can barely understand a word he is saying at times (due to his heavy heavy accent...he pronounces "chips" like "cheeps" and spells "clap" like "crap"...lol!), he is the sweetest and funniest of children!
The wedding planning is going smoothly thanks to my fantastic family and their wonderful help! Especially Mom and Dad...thank you! We are both super excited about coming to Ontario and look forward to visiting and spending time with each of you.
Well, I'm heading to dinner and then plan to watch a few episodes of LOST (we just started season 1 on DVD and it's a freaky freaky show!) before going to sleep my lovely night away. Blessings!
