Some fun with Tina!
So my best friend Tina surprised me here in Tanzania for two weeks... She showed up on my door step randomly on a Sunday night-- best surprise ever! My good friends Adam and Edward helped her plan everything. On Sunday night January 12th, Adam calls me around 9:30 at night and was like "hey I got a flat tire-- can I use your car?? I'm at your house now.. Will you bring me the keys to your car??" I go outside and he is in the safari truck-- I knew he had been on a safari with some clients that weekend, and so when I saw this Mzungu (visitor/white person in swahili-- NOT A DEROGATORY TERM) I just assumed it was a client of his from the weekend. I was like "who is with you?" And then the Mzungu started walking closer to the house and the light hit their face and I saw it was Tina. Craziest surprise of my life. I had NO idea she was coming! Anyways then I got to surprise all the children-- Tina was here in June and July of 2012 with us and the kids adore her. They were soooo surprised and excited to see here. Below are some awesome pictures of Tina and the kids from
Tina and me bathing Junior and Jonathan!
