Playing Catch Up!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know! It's been a while! :) But fear not: I have plenty of stories for you my friends.

So here is a list of "stories" that I am going to share with you since my last post on May 21st, 2010:

- All the wonderful friends that I have made here in the last month and a half
- English phrases on t-shirts here
- Angolan traffic
- Supermarkets and local stores
- Yoga
- Benfica Market and the Luanda International School Fair
- Fabric shopping
- Mama Muxima Orphanage
- Encountering a cockroach in our apartment while cleaning
- My "run" with my friend Katie and the "running group"
- Women's Bible Study
- Reggie's photo shoot for Caras magazine
- My driving experiences: the good and the bad
- My attempts at trying to speak Portuguese more
- Libolo (updates, fun stories, friends at games)
- The monthly Cooking Club
- The weather change
- neighbors engagement party
- Going to the movies at Belas Shopping
- My outlook on the overall Angolan experience

So, as you can see, I have been very busy lately! I have not been writing because I am actually exhausted by the time I get home that I barely make it to take of my makeup! I am not forgetting about you all, I've just been busy! I used to get asked the question, "So, what do you do here?". I shamefully would answer, "Oh I pretty much sleep. And do homework about 1-2 days a week. And go to basketball games. But that's it". Now that has all changed.

My goal is to get through a big chunk of these stories tonight, after yoga! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you!

Take care, and stores and pictures soon!

Beijos!
