Preparations

Before I get started I want to let people know something in case they didnt know. At the very bottom of the page, there is something that says "older posts". You can click on this to go back to the beginning of my blog in case you ever miss some entries. Also, sorry about being so lazy to update, there has just been so much going on here, sometimes i can hardly find the time. Seeing about my papers, getting things ready for the marriage, getting invitations sent out. So for those of you who do not know, I am getting married on the 14th of January. Only about 2 weeks away! Seems like such a short time. Of course I am really nervous, but I feel I am ready. I have been studying all I can about how to be a good husband, and It won't always be easy, i know. But what in life worth doing was ever easy? I have finally found that special someone who loves me for who I am, no matter what flaws I have. To be honest, I have never considered myself attractive, and I have many problems, but If she loves me anyway, who am I to argue? Life is a journey, and I finally have a traveling companion... :)  And I know important it is to keep Jah in our marraige, so that needs to be a priority. So much stuff to do, so little time!

I know it's not the best for my waist, but it sure was tasty!

Me with Grape on my face :) It's good for the skin....

The other day we went to visit Kitty's brother and sister in law's new house. Also her mom and my future nephew was there, along with Kitty's sister and brother in law. We had a nice time....

It's a mutant bananna! I wonder if it has special powers?

These people have 4 turtles! I want one! :)

I make Vegetarians cry.... :P

This is a Paraguayan coconut. But I'm not sure why people call it that, because it does not look or even taste like a coconut. It has a caramel flavor, and I still don't think it's really a coconut :P

 

Me with a stupid look on my face. Or is it the normal look?

Pati

A HUGE ant, or "Ormiga" in Spanish. A word about the ants here. Not only are these things gigantic, but when they bite, the pain is EXCRUCIATING. and these are small compared to the ants in Brazil. They have Ants there over an inch long, and if you fall in a hole with lots of ants, they will strip all the flesh off your bones in a matter of hours. Not a very fun way to go.... A fun fact: There are tribes in the Amazon that, as an initiation ritual, will strap a bunch of these ants, head first, into a pair of gloves. The young men of the village then has to wear them for at least ten minutes to become an adult. I hear the bite is more then 30 times worse then a wasp sting, and the venom is so potent it makes your hands swell up huge for hours. Aren't you glad you don't have to go through that? :)
