What a Difference a Year Makes

For those of you who have heard our love story, you know that everything for us really began last year when we were both in the village of Ngonine with the team from Providence Church, West Chester, PA. (For those of you who haven't heard our story yet, hopefully we'll have time someday to share it with you - it's pretty amazing, really!)

Well, here is a picture when Philippe & I were "just friends". What I remember is Philippe asked to have a picture taken with me, saying that he wanted to send it to our friend, Darla... which, by the way, he never did... hmmm...

And now, here we are ENGAGED one year later!

Wow.

(and, yes, I seem to be wearing the same shirt in both pics...what can I say, I obviously like to wear this one to the villages. :-)

Valentine's Day

Look at what my love had made for me for Valentine's Day...

And, yes, it tasted as good as it looks!

Reserve de Bandia

My parents arrived this past Wednesday to begin their first visit to Senegal & to see me! I've been having a good time so far showing them around my hometown, Thies, so they can get an idea of what life is like for me here. They've been spending lots of time with Philippe & I, as well as, my friends & CW teammates. This day we ventured outside of Thies to visit a nearby animal reserve, called Reserve de Bandia. Since my mom is an animal lover & likes to talk to any & all animals (much to my chagrin!), I knew that they would really enjoy this park & seeing the African animals up close & personal. Here are some of the animals that we got to see...

after seeing the animals, we ate lunch at the restaurant in the park

a great time was had by all &

there ends the Senegalese version of an African safari!

Wishing You...
