Hey Sis. How's life? Did you go to church today?




Not this morning due to the snow but this evening I did. Life is ok. I am knitting a scarf for Stephen, getting
my domestic on innocent.gif
Nagishkaw
I did not know you knitted.
Omoba
It has been forever when I learned how and I also crochet a cap for my new baby boy grandson who is baking in the oven. wub.gif Add to that the scrap booking and cleaning the house you would think I am Betty Crocker or something. Man, all that used to bore me to death and here I am.
I can't believe it myself. I am the kind of person that would rather be in the peace corps on a humanitarian mission than this stuff.
Maybe something is in the air or I am being tamed by aliens ph34r.gif
This will be a very busy spring.

Knitting a scarf for him makes me feel close to him rolleyes.gif
Nagishkaw
It's called nesting, Sis. Im doing it too, gradually.
Omoba
Yeah you are right.........nesting.........I did it with my kids so now with my honey wub.gif it's those bonding hormones kicking in after
the new love settles into a deeper level.

Well good night folks, back to knitting, nesting and anticipating luv.gif

good morning every one and happy, happy monday!

Chispas sounds very peaceful ....hope you have a nice time.

On Saturday my plans include hanging out with my brides maids and checking out wedding halls, and picking out a shade of fabric for their dresses.... headbonk.gif

The sad part is I'm kind of looking forward to it unsure.gif ........but not really wacko.gif .




That sounds exciting, what kind of fabric ? What kind of dresses are you thinking of getting ?


Awe thanks Omoba

The bride-maids will have two dresses one in western fabric (something that flows and sways July wedding) designed in a native style probably a 2 piece for the ceremony and the first set of pictures, and then we will all change into native traditional attire during the reception for the dancing and spraying.


Yeah it is kind of exciting. My wedding dress is being sewn in Ghana and all of our traditional attire is coming from a Nigerian tailor in London.



Hey We_Destiny, we are also doing the same thing at our wedding this year. Everyone will wear American style attire at the ceremony and then we will change into Liberian attire (head ties and everything) at the reception. It will be a two-piece outfit with part of the back showing. I'm really excited, but it is completely stressful, especially when all of our stuff (including the bridesmaids and groomsmen) is happening overseas, so it's been involving a LOT of work. I can't wait to see all of our ideas finally come together.

I'm here. The snow is horrible wet snow here, but not quite a foot yet. So, I'm here at work. My daughter is with her father today, we take turns taking off for the snow days. Have you ever felt connected to your SO in a wierd way? I woke up this morning at 2:45. That's 7:45 in Accra. I looked around the room, checked on my daughter and went back to sleep. This morning when I spoke to Bassi he told me he was at the Embassy at 7:45 this morning. Isn't that wierd? It's like we're somehow connected. Anyway, he didn't get anywhere, but they told him to come back at 2. I haven't heard from him, so who knows what happened. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I've had enough disappointment in this process. I won't let my hopes get up anymore. I hope my neighbor plows my snow while at work.

No snow here thank goodness.

I hope Bassi gets somewhere with the embassy. When Inusah went (he also went on a Wednesday) whe was told to come back on Thursday to pick up his packets because they do not hand them out on Wednesdays. The fact that they told Bassi to come back at 2 is a good sign smile.gif

I finally picked out a fabric color for my bridal party the darker green the fabric is Raw Silk, the fabric looks shinny in the picture but it is not. Sorry I could not figure how to just insert the picture without the link.
