What we have been up to...
I know it has been awhile since I've updated. I think the lack of a consistent internet connection has made me too lazy at attempting to post a new blog!
We are still in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and Marshall and I both leave next week for Malta!! He flies out two days after me, and we will visit with friends in Malta until the beginning of August when we leave for THAILAND!! We have to fly back to Malta because all of our stuff is there and Marshall needs to complete the official "pack out" so they can ship it all home for us.
I am so excited to meet up with some of our favorite people along with eating the best Salmon Sashimi I have ever had!!
I can't believe our five months in Abidjan is coming to an end. We have met some of the most amazing people here and we are so sad to say goodbye! Since Marshall and I went to the court house to sign our marriage papers on Thursday (Finally Mrs. BLAIR!), our sweet friends wanted to throw us a wedding party on Friday night! They went all out with some of our favorite American foods, gave me a bouquet, bought us a cake to feed each other, had a champagne toast and even played our song while we danced! It was such a special night!!

| It's a "cake smash" right?! :) |
Since so much of our heart lies within this continent, we will definitely miss the beauty of the land and people! Who knows if we will ever make it back here, but I am trying my best to take in each moment and really treasure it!
Two weeks ago I also met an awesome girl who was visiting her husband here. Keela and I became instant friends and I'm so thankful to have had such a sweet girl to spend my days with!
Last week our awesome friend Carol got a hold of a Japanese woman who is living here and set up a day for us to learn how to make sushi! It was something I had been wanting to learn for so long and I'm SO glad she gave us a hands on class! I can't wait to keep practicing until I'm brave enough to make it for a dinner party!!

I am definitely looking forward to shopping at Target soon instead of like this... :)
HAPPY SUNDAY!!! XO
