Good Things

Having some down time together in East Africa is always a welcome treat, and there are a handful of specific things I always look forward to when we are back here. Java House strawberry milkshakes just about tops the list for me I have to admit...

We also love going to see movies (this time out it's been Inception and the A-Team), hot showers, pedicures (those are my feet not Bryan's), wearing blue jeans, riding buses and matatus, eating sukuma wiki at sketchy restaurants in the middle of downtown, eating Italian at fancy restaurants outside of town, green apples, pears, cappacinos and...more milkshakes.

But there are a handful of things I am appreciating on this trip out that I never would have though twice about before. Things like ginger ale, plain toast, peppermint and crackers. Simple little things that have a knack for suppressing nausea. And that my friends is because I am oh so happy to tell you that we are pregnant! Most of you probably already know this from phone calls, e-mail or Facebook but I wanted to announce it here too. I will write more about it later. Right now we are still just enjoying time together and soaking in this big change. Just know that we are so happy and that we appreciate your prayers so much.
