For those of you who are not on Facebook I wanted to share the link to pictures from my adventures last weekend hiking from Bokong Nature Reserve to Ts’ehlenyane National Park. Have I mentioned before that this is my most favorite time of year in Lesotho? The rain makes everything look better. Not to mention [...]

Songs that remind me of college debate
Posted in Everyday Life on 27/11/2011 | 3 Comments »
Nerd alert: I was on the debate team in college, and I’m still proud of it. I learned so much through participating and I credit the skills I learned with a lot of my professional success. It is questionable whether I would have made it through college without debate to keep me motivated. I went [...]
Remembering August 8th

Monday’s tend to be a high-volume day for signing documents for me. Most of my team starts the week in the office and there are always several requests for me to review and approve before they head to the field. Last week I commented on Facebook that I have to look at my watch for [...]

I am going to Afriski this weekend with a big group of friends from Maseru. Most of us are going for the novelty factor, but I’m nervous because it has been YEARS since I’ve been on skis. Plus they use a T-Bar, which I’ve never used before. Will report back on how the adventure goes, [...]
This is for my sister

When my sister, Allison, and I traveled together we had many discussions about photography, scrapbooking and all-things crafty. She said that I should share some of my digital scrapbook layouts on my blog. I told her I was afraid of outing myself as a gigantic nerd … … I know, I’m too late. So, I [...]
Picture of a typical Sunday

I just had to share this classic picture that I took this evening. Molly sleeping in her favorite spot – hogging the couch with her head buried in pillows. She has an enormous bed that takes up a huge chunk of the living room already – but why sleep there when you can take up [...]
Cheetahs vs. Bulls OR Why rugby is my new favorite sport to watch live

I admit that I am generally a fair weather sports fan. I enjoy watching important games on TV like the World Series, NCAA Final 4 and the World Cup when it was taking place in South Africa. I will also almost always, however, accept an invitation to watch any sport live. Living in Southern Africa [...]

Things have been a bit crazy at work this month and clearly overflowed in to my posting habits here. The month can basically be summed up by telling you that we had visitors everyday this month except 1. One week we had 5 visitors at once, most of them focused on my program. My very [...]

This month has been pretty crazy – and it’s only halfway finished! The craziness this week consisted of the two consultants who came to help my team start a new initiative within our work. Exciting AND exhausting. During our trips to the field they both pointed out repeatedly how beautiful Lesotho is, and they’re right. [...]
