Four Anniversaries, Four Countries

A month ago on June 9th, Shauen and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. Shauen had a two-week trip to Tanzania scheduled and because it's not very fun to be left home alone with a toddler, no car, plus be alone on your anniversary, Josiah and I went with him. As we celebrated our anniversary in Tanzania, I thought back on our previous three anniversaries. Our first anniversary we visited a friend in New Orleans. Our most romantic anniversary to date. We stayed at a romantic bed and breakfast and had a wonderful time. Our second anniversary was in Uganda. I was pregnant with Josiah and still feeling morning sickness. Nothing says "Happy Anniversary" then running to throw up the lovely breakfast Shauen had made me. Our third anniversary we had just returned from our two-week trip to Paraguay. We were in Nairobi for two short weeks before leaving for Tanzania for language school. Shauen was recovering from a very bad cold/sinus infection and at the same time was trying to find and buy our new vehicle since we couldn't import our old truck from Uganda. That evening, we immensely enjoyed a No Bake Cheesecake that had been sent to us. I don't think we actually ate the whole cheesecake in one sitting, but it was that good that we certainly wanted to! It was delicious! So, after celebrating in the United States, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania where will we be for number five? I told Shauen that unless it's Paris or Rome, I don't feel the need to celebrate in a new country next year! This is one tradition that needs to be nipped in the bud.  -Krista
