Where in the World are We?!
Zambia is a fantastic country and we really loved it there. The people were so kind and life happened at a slower pace than anywhere else I had lived. The traffic was manageable and the shops had anything a heart could desire. We found a great little cottage to live in just outside of Lusaka on 25 acres with plenty of birds to keep me occupied. It felt great to finally be home. Corinne was a superstar through all the travel and adjustments. We got into a bit more of a routine and she continued to grow and mesmerize us with all her developments. I really enjoy being a mom and I am so thankful to have such a healthy, sweet daughter.
Bryan and I tried to get out of Lusaka as much as possible and see the country. We were able to spend a weekend at Lake Kariba and another weekend at Victoria Falls. Zambia is very beautiful and the roads were easy to travel on. It was such great opportunity to see a part of the world that many people can only dream of seeing. Victoria Falls was more amazing than I could ever imagine. We were there at the end of the rainy season so the falls were massive and overwhelming. It was hard to wrap my mind around what we were seeing - well worth a trip from anywhere in the world to see them. As we were enjoying Zambia and getting to know the country a bit, Bryan's job was not going very well. He loved the work that he was doing however some of the other details were not falling into place. So we had to make a very difficult decision to leave the job which would mean that we would have to leave Zambia. Within a week of making that decision we found ourselves back on a plane and heading back to Kenya.
After arriving back in Kenya, the company that Bryan worked for last summer offered him a position. Obviously this is the shortened version of the story but you will have to get the longer version in person over a cup of Kenyan tea or a glass of wine. So Bryan accepted the job offer and we will be moving to Tsavo sometime next week. We are very excited about this opportunity and so happy that we are back in Kenya to stay. Life is slowly moving along and we are getting things in place to settle down. This week we make the big purchase of a car which means that even though we are still homeless, we can live in our car if necessary :) Thankfully with Bryan's parents here in Kenya and plenty of good friends with spare rooms we have felt very wanted which has made this transition so much easier. Just a couple more weeks and we are hoping to unpack our bags for good.

Hi Angie - it's Sheri from MSVU - glad to hear all is well with everyone. Corinne is gorgeous and I'm sure life must be so hectic right now with the big move and a baby, I couldn't even imagine. Take care and I look forward to your stories and pictures and I'll be over for a visit when I win the lottery! lol Bye for now.
Hey Sheri - it's great to hear from you! I am hoping you will come for a visit before you win the lottery. Our home is always open to you.
