Lost and Found!

It may seem like I haven't posted for a while... well it is indeed true! I am still alive and would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Boxing Day, and last of all.... a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I may be a bit late on all of that but at least I eventually got around to it. I am currently getting back to my old/ new life in Rukungiri. When I settle in a bit more I will sit down and focus on writing about my trip to the set of The Lion King, Paradise, and wherever else my imagination might take us. Scenes from Planet Earth and maybe even the moon?! This will all make sense later I promise.

I would like to thank those of you who had me in your thoughts this past holiday season :) Upon returning home from my phenomenal vacation I had FOUR packages to open! The presence of family and friends filled my house as I lit a holiday scented candle, sipped chai tea, and stuffed my face with candy in-between bites of beef jerkey! All this while watching a movie with my REAL brother from back home who came and visited. There is something about Ugandans asking 'you're REAL brother?' like I'm lying to them. My real Christmas was spent in Zanzibar at a small, quiet 'resort but not really' right on the Indian Ocean. Complete with a Christmas eve seafood buffet and campfire, swimming, beach volleyball, and fruity drinks. It felt NOTHING like Christmas even though my brother was there. It was too.... warm to be REAL Christmas for me. I wanted snow and couldn't muster up enough imagination to pretend the white sand was snow... although I suppose I didn't try hard enough. It was incredible don't get me wrong but I missed being somewhere that felt like home especially for the holidays.  I'm not a huge fan of vacation on Christmas but I've only got one more holiday season to go before I spend it at home home again with my whole family :)

I hope you all had a nice holiday and I'll share more when I get around to it.

This was just a post to say 'I'm still here'!!!

You better be looking forward to my next post... I know how much you all love to hear me ramble on about things that probably don't really matter but are fun to write about anyway!
