i am a girl, living in south africa, working for an organisation called emthonjeni. it's a dream come true....and the hardest thing i've ever done. i love art & music. i am grateful for the people in my life who have been [and are] true friends. ...the new ones i've met here in jo'burg, and the dear ones back in grand rapids.

i cooked last night for my "husband."
my friend reinhard is staying with me to house-sit (or maybe rather, babysit?)...anyway, it's been this joke that it's a practice marriage....very funny. maybe you have to be in it to think so? it includes funny sms coversations …

I hardly know what to think of you sewing! Way to go. I still have the dress we started sooo long ago! maybe when you're in town we could work on it, or i can at least send it back to africa with you. i checked out the fabric. it looks so awesome. How much is it /yard? i'd be interested for sure! Can't wait to see you!

i will definitely send you that picture...although i have no idea how to get it from my phone onto the computer....hm...hey on another note, you will appreciate this: I've been searching and searching for peppadew and can't find it anywhere in this country- except for on a sandwich at panera and at amazon.com . Needless to say, i've been going to panera a lot since I got back from SA. That stuff is seriously good.... : )
