For example:
Not to mention the the time spent with friends and family as the weather begins to change, flowers start to bloom, and everything is beautiful and green! I totally love it, and I'm a little sad to be missing Easter at home.
However, this year I will not be spending Easter in a pretty pastel colored dress, or drinking mimosas. Instead, I will be spending it a little more like this:

However, this year I will not be spending Easter in a pretty pastel colored dress, or drinking mimosas. Instead, I will be spending it a little more like this:
...rafting down the Orange River on the border between Namibia and South Africa, and sleeping under the stars!
Sounds like me...huh? Haha its a little different from the first picture. Even so, I'm so excited for the experience...and the challenge that it will be. We are going to spend all day Friday driving up to Namibia, sleep at a camp, and then spend Saturday, Sunday, and Monday rafting down the river, sleeping on the banks with nothing but a sleeping bag! Then Monday night I believe we'll head back to a camp and then drive back to Cape Town on Tuesday. In total it is a five day trip, two nights spent on the banks of the river...there are about 23 people going...19 or so from the house and a few other friends of people in the group. It should be like no Easter I've ever had!
I want to wish you all the happiest Easter ever! I have a feeling I am going to feel quite homesick on Sunday when I realize what everyone at home is up to and that I likely won't even have cell reception to say hello! But I still feel lucky as ever and I am so excited for this weekend! Please send my love to all and make sure you enjoy the pastels, the easter eggs, the egg hunts!, and most of all the chocolate and mimosas!
i'll catch the spring blog after work. in the meantime thinking about you all day ...
