Happy Friday, Y'all
Since we don't have school today, this is me...
Since we don't have school today, this is me...
For
the past few years, I've taken a photo every single day. Then at the
end of the year, I compile those photos into a book. I share some (not all) of the
photos each month on here, if for no other reason, but to help me
remember some of the fun memories and thoughts that went with them.
And today, I'm sharing a few of my favorite moments from the past two months, which have included all sorts of fun.
So here we go...
The month started with a favorite event of our school, Senior Cafe, which is a school talent show, in which one of my students surprised us all with his incredible talent for singing. I love seeing my favorite kiddos excel in their confidence and in their giftings.
March also included a bunch of my favorite foods. Things like dinner at one of my favorite restaurants eating yummy Korean food, the arrival of one of my favorite leafy greens (kale) to Dakar, and a Cajun shrimp poy boy sandwich from another favorite restaurant that specializes in American-style foods.
There was time spent at church, reading from THE favorite book...
And time spent studying about one of my favorite topics, as part of my newest class which started in March.
We had another favorite event happen at school in March - Service Day. It was such a nice day seeing our kids serving others on campus and out in the community.
And my most favorite school related event was my class's field trip to a local Brazilian Cafe for tasty treats, as a way of wrapping up our Social Studies chapter on Brazil. The food was super delicious - even declared a favorite by most of my students. And time spent with my favorite students is always a nice thing, too :)
I ended the month at our AGWM West/South Africa Conference and Retreat, which was at a beautiful hotel. It was so nice to get away for a few days with some of my favorite co-workers, sleep in A/C (always a favorite), and learn more about THE favorite - God and all He has for us to do in this adventure He's called all of us on, called missions.
Then April arrived with me flying out on the first day of the month, heading to see my most favorite people (after God, of course) - my family.
And I got to do all sorts of things with my favorites, like picking up my oldest niece from Kindergarten and spoiling my nieces with all sorts of fun treats/prizes...
I also enjoyed coloring and playing with legos...
Another favorite, and one of the main reasons I went back in the first place, was speaking at my favorite high school about Senegal and about my missions work. It was so fun to run into some of my favorite friends and former teachers :)
Singing the good ol' hymns from "back in the day" is always a favorite too. I like the new stuff. But sometimes I do miss the hymns... So when I got to enjoy that while visiting my mom's church, I was happy :)
Another favorite of my time in the US was time spent with my most favorite lady - my sweet Mama.
I also enjoyed time with some of my other favorite ladies - one of my aunts and some of my cousins. Laughing is a favorite of all of us, as evidenced by this photo :)
Before long, it was time to come back, and I was able to snag this picture of sunset - one of my most favorite times of the day, as I was leaving New York.
Once back in Dakar, I was met with a delivery to help me fulfill one of my favorite activities - reading. Look at that stack of books!
And eventually, it was time to celebrate one of my favorite holidays at school with my own students and with our Kids Club kids.
And the celebrations continued on the actual day of Easter, with (most of) my AG "family" here in Dakar.
Towards the end of the month, I got to lead my absolute most favorite event of the entire school year - Elementary Camp.
A favorite treat was given to all staff by our principal.
And then on the last day of April, I enjoyed one of my favorite candies while completing the last assignment for my class (my last one 'til July).
And that was (the majority of) my March and April.
Oh, and in case you missed them, here are the previous months' photos...
