Trail Mix

By @ngie

Now, on with the crunchy, munchy, mixed-up life I lead…

This week my husband bought me a fun new cereal with “Trail Mix” in the name. Almond flavored goodness.
I met two lovely missionary ladies who are friends of a good friend. I am looking forward to getting to know them. One lived in the jungles of [...]

Molasses in January

By @ngie

‘Little House on the Pairie’ books taught me what “slower than molasses in January” means. The bleak, white winters described in those pages made me grateful for amenities like heaters, clothes dryers and snow-blowers. Molasses was dripped from the trees with a bucket hung on a post that created a hole for the goo to [...]

Raimy is 12!

By @ngie

What a fun celebration we had! This age is marvellous. You can still be a kid yet you are creeping ever so quickly to the great big world of being a teenager. I absolutely love that she asked for toys for her birthday; she’s still my baby Raimy. Although, to prove that I am good [...]

An Afternoon of Sightseeing

By @ngie

After a 3D movie at the theater I took the kids to the bridge. This is a relatively new attraction here in Cochabamba. It connects the Cine Center with a lovely section of town called the Recoleta which are separated by a river and a highway. The Recoleta has bunches of good restaurants, ice-cream and [...]

What the Butterflies are Telling Me

By @ngie

Yesterday we had some very happy news.
This is what my running around looked like this morning:

Meet with lawyer along with DaRonn and Tyler (more about this below)
Signatures from lawyer, DaRonn and I all properly placed
Take the page to get photocopied in triplicate across the street from the lawyers office

Weak in the Knees

By @ngie

When I am nervous I get weak in the knees. All the blood rushes from my head and makes my walking wobbly. I am nervous. We are so close, so very close. If my pessimistic lawyer is excited I am excited too.
