PARTAY!!!!!

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of my arrival here in Tanzania.


3 years ago, on a chilly night around 7:50pm local time, 4 members of the Robertson family made their grand debut in the country of their calling.

The Journey Begins



*Tess and I just the day before we flew out*

*6 months worth of belongings*

*The last photo of the 4 of us before we moved to Tz*
*All of us with tear stained faces - one of my favorite pictures*

*Waiting in Lambert International Airport - St. Louis Mo*
*Tess @ STL**Us in Detroit.I had to go to the bathroom really bad, but Mom INSISTED that we get a picture BEFORE I relieve myself - thus, the unimpressed facial expression.*


*First picture in Tanzania*

*Our plane*
*Tess and I @ Kilimanjaro International Airport - GRAND DEBUT*

These three years have been a crazy, wonderful, stressful, learning, molding, incredible, painful, amazing, and the most life changing experience I have ever encountered in my life.
I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING in the world.




*Stay tuned for some of my favorite memories and moments*

Obsession...


Lately I've been obsessed with Post-It notes.


It all started on a cool day in Nairobi Kenya last Christmas during our 'gift exchange'. The gift that I received was about 8 different colors and shapes of Post-It notes.


Currently, in front of my desk, it looks like an explosion of pink, green, and yellow squares, rectangles and triangles. Sitting beside me are 6 (yes SIX!) different stacks of Post-Its.




Maybe it's just me... but I LOVE to peel one of and slap it up on the back board of my desk...

I'm back!

Hey Everyone...
I'm back!


The last week has been kinda sorta crazy.
Dad has been in National Board meetings since last Tuesday from 8am until 7pm and sometimes 8. I've been sick with a nasty cold/sinus infection... but I'm better now. Thank you Jesus. Mom is amazing as always... keeping up with Dad's weird schedule and taking care of me. Love you MAMA!!!!


Hopefully, I'll be starting school this week... after a 1 year sabbatical. Long story = Huge drama... but we are over comers, and the drama is coming to an end!!! *Sending a HUGE thank you to RF of New Life Academy in Napa, Ca.*
