Laughing, dancing and sunsets

Since moving to Kenya, I have started to love a lot of things


I love Mondays.

I love feeling prepared when I walk into the classroom.

I love getting the chance to sign with my students.

I love catching the sunset
I love laughing with my heaping club.( it's the nun's word for sex. I am sure you can guess what we talk about)

I love running around the field with the kids.

I love watching my kids sign( even though I still don’t know what they have said)

I love making my kids laugh

I love answering questions

I love pineapples

I love dancing with the ladies

I love greeting the teachers in the morning

I love watching my students faces when I tell them stories about America

I love getting mangos at 50 cents each

I love learning the language and culture of Kenya

I love watching my kids interact with each other

I love taking weekend trips

I love seeing the kids, all smart in their uniforms, stand at assembly

I love going to market and people watch

I love making someone’s day by shaking their hand( they get really happy when they shake the hand of a muzungu)

I love learning from the teachers

I love getting letters from home

I love learning from the students



But, I still hate ugali, tea, and cows. Hey, no one is perfect.
