This is Unis. He would like me to be his wife. This may just be because he's impressed with the exchange rate between the dollar and the rand... anyways, there are some conditions.

1. I must agree to him being the “head of the household.” Otherwise, he is allowed to cheat on me.
2.  I must have 11 babies.
3. If one of our children turns out gay, we must disown them.

Don’t we sound perfect for each other? Apart from entirely disagreeing with him on every topic, he’s perfect!

This past week we have been with Unis and his fellow student dietitians, Clinton, DeeJay, Charlene, etc. I’m pretty sure those aren’t their real names, just their “pronouncable” names. For example, Unis is actually Maunatlala  Tebogo. They are therapeutic nutrition students and prescribe diets to people in the hospital. We did some rounds with them the first day, but then after that we kinda just screwed around and got to know them. Yay for making friends! Finally people our own age! 

Also, we went ZIP LINING IN CANYONS!!! The really good pictures of me were taken by other people, but I have some to give you an idea of how amazing and beautiful the experience was. Also, it was 410 rand-- about 43 dollars. That's NOTHING compared to what zip lining costs in the States. 

It was truly breathtaking. And as always, if I'm anywhere cool, I gotta throw my diamonds up!! 

In all seriousness, THON has taught me to never let a moment go to waste. These beautiful experiences of life could slip through my fingers at any moment. If I didn't take advantage of every second of my ONE LIFE I would be disgracing the kids and all the people who have lost their lives. I'm so grateful to be in South Africa. I am making friends that will last, and I am making memories that will last even longer. 

It's all good news here!! I'll post more after we go to Sun City this weekend!! I'M SO EXCITED!!
