Hello again!

So I am going to write this fast because you never know when zesa will go out. I hope you all like the pictures of Juno. We will continue to post pictures of her! Currently I have snuck away from our Family Fun Day here at HIS. There is a pretty good turn out and luckily no dunking of teachers like we have had to be a part of at Nesbit in the past. Although Gran tis right now playing volleyball, adults against the kids. I think the last game was won by the kids. They have really impressive face painting, food, soccer games going, sack races and such to do with your parents, water slide and jump castle.  So it's a beautiful day here and lots of happy people. I think I need to get better about bringing my camera because it's funny how much this looks like a Family Fun Day at Nesbit. The only difference is the music. They are playing some American rap and not with certain lyrics taken out. Our director had to ask for them to keep it G-rated. Pretty funny.
Last night Grant had a bunch of guys/men over to grill meat and drink beer while I went to a friend's house with all females and drank wine and had Indian food. That's how it's done around here. I get back home to all the guys sitting in the dark (because there was no zesa) around the fire and approximately 5 empty beer cans below each guy's feet. Oh, and an empty glass from which they were enjoying whiskey. Again, why did I not take pictures? They were all laughing at Grant's always interesting stories. So despite no zesa, they were having fun. Tonight we will go watch a rugby match at a bar and then head home early to get some sleep. SO my point in telling you all this is that it isn't much different from how we would spend a weekend at home (except rugby would be football).
I will say that always going over to each others' houses instead of going out with friends does create quite a nice bond with people. We have gotten really close with a lot of people very fast. It's nice.
I guess I will go rejoin the crowd and watch my students slide down the waterslide and watch my future husband play some soccer. Everyone have a great long weekend and to my Chattanooga family if you read this.....I will be thinking about you all today when you are playing in the Bosco cup and then having a great time at mom and dad's house. My first time to miss my family reunion. Ouch.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to upload the peacocks hanging out by my room. You people just have to see it to believe it. Love to you all, Jen and Grant
