Safari Time and Flowers

We got to talk to Seth this morning. He got to be outside the house he is staying at. It looks nice! He is looking forward to going on a Safari until Saturday. 

The first rose bloomed on our rose bush today! I'm so excited!!! And I may have bought some petunias at Kroger to plant, because flowers make me so happy! And Seth, you can pat yourself on the back as if you bought me flowers! This is even better! Thank you! :)

12 more nights

I've been having a hard time sleeping without my dear Seth by my side. Despite exhaustion, I struggle to want to go to bed. 

12 more nights! We've made it half way! And if my love and appreciation for this man grows in those 11 days as they have in the past 11, I don't know how I will contain myself!

Seth hasn't taken a picture yet in Africa, (that's normally my job) but I'm hoping he will! Thankfully others have taken some that he can download. Like these below. (He's so handsome and wonderful!! I'm very proud of him)

Year One Down!

We did it! We finished the first year of MBA school :-) and I have no qualms about saying we, Seth would be the first to tell you that this has been a family effort.

God has blessed us so abundantly throughout this whole year. We have all learned so much, and grown a lot. We have made wonderful friends here, and had so many excellent opportunities!

Seth has done very well in school! He has worked so hard. We are very proud of him. He is an exemplary husband and father. Although, he is one of the only ones in his MBA class that is a husband and a father, he has been there for us.

He is been there for family dinner, scripture study, bedtime, family home evening, date night. We are so grateful for him. Great job Seth!!

Family Swimming Outing

After a very long week of many internship interviews (great job Seth!! You did it!), we took a family break and went to the OSU pool. 

John had a blast! He loved the waterfall and the slide. It was adorable when he would look over and wave at me :) 

John went under once, not on purpose. But he took it like a champ! He was having so much fun, but he was freezing, blue lips, shaking, so we had to take him out. We'll have to do this more often!
