Kristina and Eze are getting married!
We first met seven years ago, and after reuniting this past autumn in Ibadan, Nigeria it wasn't long before we became the best of friends. We are enjoying a joyful, happy, fun connection -- and we've decided we'd like to keep it!
The folks we love are stretched across a geography Kristina has come to bemusedly term her bermuda triangular trade in carbon credits. This means we're not even going to attempt to throw a big party and ask (or oblige) everyone to come. We'll be making it official with a small family gathering over the summer. We'll also throw a party in Nigeria sometime over the next year and will keep you posted when we have the dates all figured out. That celebration will definitely be in keeping with the Nigerian tradition of 'anyone and everyone' is invited. So, if you've been waiting for that reason to visit West Africa..... In the meantime, and beyond, we'll do our best to stay in touch as we navigate our wee triangle. Whether we hear from you often or haven't been in touch in awhile, we feel blessed to know so many great people in far flung places and look forward to our paths crossing again.
* p.s. The snapshot is of our recent boat trip to Creek Town, an historic river-side community near Calabar in eastern Nigeria. The nice gentleman steering us along is a member of the town and did a great job showing us sights like the oldest tree. If you would like to and haven't done so yet you can read about K's and Eze's adventures in earlier entries on this blog. Also hope to tell a few more stories on it soon from the backlog of experiences K hasn't had a chance to write-up over the last busy wee while. FYI: K is unexpectedly back in Virginia for a few months of high speed internet connection and easy phone call opportunities, and she would love to take full advantage of them :)
