Memorial Day Weekend
We spent Memorial Day weekend at the Lake with Tim's family. Arie Alex had her first big pool adventure of the summer! There was splashing and goldfish eating, and everything you could want for a 14 month old at the pool. Of course I missed it completely. I was at Star Trek with Jake and Drew. A fantastically, entertaining flick, btw. Thankfully, Tim captured all the fun.
I have now been on three continents. I have also been on the Equator, with one foot in the northern hemisphere and one foot in the southern hemisphere. I've smelled the Sistine Chapel and walked through the Coliseum. I've drank wine in Piazza San Marco, and gazed in wonder at Michael Angelo's David. I've eaten goat, which pretty much tastes like pot roast, and is pretty good. I have my own computer for the first time in my life. (Tim bought me an iBook while I was in Africa.) I've learned at least 16 words in Swahili, and one word in Pocot. I've been to the edges of the earth to villages that aren't on the map and soaked in the the welcome, song and dance of a beautiful indigenous people. I am not above writing notes on my hand and I use sticky notes for everything. I study the CW network and pop culture in general and I love one man with my whole heart.
