Turning 29 in my village

Definitely ranks as one unique birthday and I will never forget it. It was a nice and quiet day. To celebrate Christi and Rachel came to my house . My Amai made my favorite Zambian meal; chicken, cabbage and nshima. Yummy. Christi spent the night and we ate and sang with my family. We took some “snaps” and I really enjoyed the evening with my Zambian family, some Zambian friends and Christi. I received three birthday cards from people in the village and one read “Happy Birthday Mom.” It made me laugh. They made me feel very loved and I was very grateful. Below is a pic of me and my family here.
