California Love

I lived in California for about 8 years while my dad went to U.C. Berkley. Jermaine and I went went back for a wedding and loved seeing everything.

Since we have been together, 10 years this September, we have never taken a trip to California. We went to see my elementary school, the student family housing, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard street, the Coit Tower, Alcatraz and most importantly great friends.

Where are all my West Coast lovers? What is your favorite California site?

Birthday Gurl!

Every year I have this grandiose goal of having everything done by my birthday December first. This includes decorations up, Christmas cards out and Christmas shopping done. I have not yet accomplished this goal but I’ll keep my eye on the prize!
I celebrated with good friends and good food, we went over to Mary's and Juston's.







I have also included pics of our trip to Alabama. This picture includes Jay, Jermaine's brother Ran, Jermaine and Abram.






Our family can’t handle playing Scrabble it turns into to squabble so we had to put it away and play spoons. This picture includes me, my dad, my mom, my brother Katende and his wife Sanyu.

It is a girl!

Top 3 reasons why we love our dog

1. She is so friendly. I'm not the let the dog lick your face type of gal but, I love seeing her wag her tail when she sees me. She did lick my face and I was so grossed out!

2. She gives us a warning when an intruder is close to the house (or it might just be a squirrel).

3. She keeps the boys busy.


Mitzie came into our lives on October 18th, 2008. We adopted her from Jeremiah's teacher. She is a 6 year old European Spitz. She's a sweetheart even though she tries to like my face. Any other dog lovers out there?

Favorite memories continued

One of my favorite memories this year!
We went to a Hugh Masekela concert. I have included some one of his song's on my play-list. They didn't have 'Bring Him Home' on the play-list and I included some of the songs that remind me of Lesotho.

Memory lane

Memory Lane.... the tag that gets everyone involved

Got this from a friend and I thought I would play the game. Here's how you play

1. Leave a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and i had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory of you. It's actually pretty funny to the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

3. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Reason # 1 for loving the Atlanta Ward

We love the Spirit we feel in the ward. Some visitors have said the same including Glenn Beck and his friend who visited last week. They even joked that Jermaine (the bishop) looked like the president of the teachers quorum (14-15 year olds). Everyone cracked up! and Gladys Knight visited last week!

Obama Makes History

I don't vote. Only Because I am not yet a citizen. If I did I would register as an independent. I am not sure who I would vote for. I reflect on the 15th amendment and the voting rights act of 1965 and how the Jim Crow laws still stripped black people of their right to vote. And here we are in 2008 and a black man is running for president. We also have Hilary making history as the first woman to come so close to being a nominee. What are some key issues for you?
