our lives in small town, East Africa

t-minus

This semester of commuting has been crazy and hard, but we've managed it. Justin has proven his amazing juggling skills, keeping up with a full-time job, TAing, and single-parenting. Juma has been resilient and supportive and a great all-round kid.

I have to say goodbye to Justin and Juma only two more times! Then in a whirlwind week, we celebrate the holidays, I take my finals, Juma has his last day at his school, then we all move our stuff down to Baltimore, stuff it in storage, and fly off to Tanzania.

What can I say? My family is the greatest.

So ... is Justin finished at Yale then?

Tanzania again?!? Oh, how I envy your life sometimes...

Monica, no Justin isn't done. He'll be doing more research on this trip. Then after that, he'll be writing his dissertation, which he can do from Baltimore.

Oh, and I used one of the videos from our Swahili course just yesterday. Seeing all those pictures and people certainly brought me back! Can you believe it's been 7+ years?
