South Africa AIA Tour Video

We just wanted to share this cool video made by our Canadian AIA Soccer staff who are living and working in South Africa.

This photo marked the end of our walk around the neighborhood to take pictures of the sakuras.

Brian picked up a dandelion (the germs of the flower world) and thought he'd wipe one on my face while I was taking the picture from the following blog "sakuras." I was trying to take a picture of myself so I could assess the damage. It didn't pick up the yellow smudge on my face very well; though it did pick up the annoyance I was feeling. ;o)

The cherry blossoms have been blooming for a week or so but we just had our first clear day with blue skies. Brian and I went for a walk so I could take pictures of them. I could take pictures all day... but Brian got a bit antsy/impatient.

I'm quite excited for summer to be coming. I was sad when things wrapped up on campus, knowing that I wouldn't be seeing those great students and coworkers again for a long time. But summer brings warmer weather, sunshine, and a new job. I'm officially AIA Soccer staff, full time. And it'll stay this way from now on.

In the fall I'll be on campus one day per week and working with Brian in AIA the rest of the time. We're excited to see where God is leading us, even though we don't know.

We're also pretty sure we've found an apartment to move into. I'm excited to be in the new place, though I will miss the family (but not necessarily the noise) and the coolness of a basement suite in the summer.

Hope you are all doing well!

This is Charlie hiding. We like to play chase with him.

Things are finally slowing down around here. This was my last week working with campus stuff, next week it's gung ho for AIA.

But I'm exhausted. My forearm hurts from bowling. And I found out from my physiotherapist friend that my hips are so badly out of alignment that it's giving me bad neck problems that lead to headaches. It also explains the sharp pains in my leg, my inability to do a sit up (seriously, I haven't been able to roll up from the ground to do a sit up since middle school), and why I haven't been able to touch my toes in a long time. But I'm glad I've found out why all these little quirks with my body are happening and now I can do something about it!

Also, we're moving soon! The time has come to leave our basement suite and get out on our own. NO, WE'RE NOT HAVING A BABY. We're just ready to move.

Have a great end of the week!
