We are nearing the end of our amazing vacation in Capetown, South Africa where we spent the last month waking up to the beautiful ocean sunrise on some mornings, and the smell of fresh air. We stayed in Simons Town, a gorgeous town right by the ocean and surrounded by beaches. When I arrived on November 29th alone, that was a hard moment to navigate but I was able to get from the airport to our spot without too many hiccups. Our rental car was dropped off at our spot the night I arrived so I could pick up my husband at the airport the following morning. There are so many stories and experiences to share but I will do it bit by bit. All I know is that we want to return to Capetown. So many steps to take, and such a long process to go. I wouldn't trade this life for anything else. I love doing life with my sweetheart. He really is my biggest cheerleader. We fly back together next week and I'm absolutely in my feelings about it. Zambia may be my birthplace but I already know I can see myself falling in love with parts of Africa and I love that for us. South Africa, Ghana, countries with water. There are things that I know help me feel and function better. Being by water is calming for me, that plays a big role in my every day, being outdoors, getting fresh air and being able to clear my mind as best as I can. Taking deep slow breathes when it's necessary and letting my body know it is safe and loved. These are helpful reminders that when things come to an end, hold onto things that help you keep going. The trip back to Zambia will be bittersweet but I have a residency to look forward to, and I'm looking forward to whatever else may come my way. 

Too more stories, to more joy, and to a lot more laughter.
