Love you pimp nugget

Hey

I'm glad to hear that you are having lots of fun and trying out all sorts of things. I can't wait to see you in dreads, I hope it works out. Africa sounds really fun and the henna sounds awesome

Be safe

PULLING OFF DREADS HURTS!!!

(trust me, i speak from experience...)

haha, i'm glad you're enjoying AFRICAA- it shall be the new "call" when you get back. AFRICA AFRICAAAA!!! And to those that don't understand that, i promise, i'm not weird.. haha

HAVE FUN TARA BE SAFE!

Hi Tara! I miss you again... Where are U now? The cheese factory sounded interesting. What a job, huh? Have U got Zanzibar worked out yet for this weekend's trip (Friday I think)? What about my e-mail from last Saturday re: midterm?

I hope your weekend was nice and that things have calmed down around you lately. Keep escorts and open eyes as you enjoy your trip. Remember, be cautiously aware. I love you. Stay safe, and please write soon! XXXOOO, Mom

Hey i miss you!

Imma check out some pics

but hey guess what im gettting!!! GLASSES

Hello Chicklet:

Thanks for continuing to share your adventures. Sounds like you are having fun and enjoying every moment. You will have to give me a henna tattoo when you return. So find some really cool African symbol for me.

Now that you have visited various places I am sure you have a few favorites. Make sure you take lots of photos to share. I will set up a evening for you to come to have dinner and share your photos with us.

Stay safe and remember that we love you and are so looking forward to seeing you when you return.

PS: Are you going to hike Mt. Kili?

Heh Tara! Msg from DAD written by Mom, otherwise it would take me forever to type with one finger. Love your blogs. Sounds like a cool vacation rather than a teaching job. I'm sure you're learning alot of life's lessons that will stay with you forever. I miss you. I think about you all of the time and hope that you are being safe and making good decisions. Can't wait until you come home. It's not the same here without you. If you get dreads, you are going to end up looking like a chemo patient; at best, a tennis ball! That's the best I can do for you but at least you have a beautiful face. Say Hi to all of your friends, enjoy every moment, learn alot especially from those kids. I'm sure they have alot to teach YOU. Wish I was there with you. I'm sure I would love the kids! Can't wait for Thanksgiving; oh what thanks we'll all give to have you home again safe. I love you, I miss you. Enjoy the sunsets and all of the beautiful smiles. Love, Your Daddy

Yo Homie I miss you wayyyyy too much... I've been thinking about you a lot lately!!! I miss Fiesta Fridays and ice cream fights in parking lots at 12:00 at night hahaa... remember that?

Well I am glad that you are [somewhat] safe now and I think you should totally get dreads!!!!! I would be sooo jealous. Africa still sounds amazing, regardless of the crime. You just gotta know how to stay safe. Make sure you give the kids my love and keep living like a hippie!

I love you pimp nugget.

P.S. Drew and I are dating (that face doesn't fit my excitement, but I think the expression is the best ever)

Tara!!!! How it sound like you are having so much fun!  we miss you so much.  prelims are almost over..... and then they begin again in like a week.... but how are you doing?  I was so sad i misses your call... i was in class. ;(  so  sounds like your getting a tan and i must say i am jealous. i look paper white right now.  I miss you tons and i must go study for my midterm yuck.... I LOVE YOU! cant wait to here what happens next!

Hi Tara! XXXOOO We are all missing you terribly but know you are enjoying all Africa has to offer. I am in the midst of cramming for my midterm which is this Friday so I haven't sent your pkg yet. After our discussion last week, I felt perhaps it might be better NOT to draw attention to you with a package. I am sure you are getting accustomed to the African lentils by now, aren't you? I got your e-mail re: SHIP and will take care of that as soon as I can. Chuck asked if you had climbed Mt. Kili yet and sends his best wishes for your trip. (We saw him today) Dad's on vacation here at home, minimally adding on to the sheep shelter with a hay storage area & custom wooden gate. We have decided to keep the critters for the winter. Dad wants to raise little lambs but I don't know a thing about that. Maybe you can find out about sheep in Africa (ha ha). We had our first snow this past Friday and Mt. Rose is still dusted with snow. The leaves are changing up Mt. Rose highway. You'll be amazed at winter setting in when you come home - not like the African summer you're enjoying! I send my love and am keeping you on my mind and in my heart for good juju. Be safe and remember to travel together, not alone!!!! I LOVE YOU. HAVE FUN but not too much.... Love, Mom

Hey Tara:

Its Ericka & Jordon. We just read your latest entries. Sounds like you are going to be a black girl with matted hair Don't forget your sunscreen when tanning.

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada so we are going to the relatives for a nice dinner. We will think of you as we are eatting pumpkin pie. You will get yours soon.

Love to you and keep sharing your adventures.
