National Holiday

Hello all! Well to start with the first part of my title, we got a day off of school when Obama won the Presidential Election. So, how many days did ya'll get off in the states?? :) Yeah, I know, it was a crazy week! The President of Kenya called a National Holiday on Wednesday when the vote was final. We found out that holidays can be called without a moments notice! Definitely different than what we are used to! We had an inservice that Monday and then had Thursday off as well. The students only had school 3 days that week! We also weren't the only country in Africa to have a day off. One country got 2 days while another got a whole 5 days!! Yep, can you say "Craziness!!!!"
 
Anyway, we are doing well. Still staying busy. Ed is done with basketball while this will be my last week. Our Varsity girls won a tournament this last Saturday which was a lot of fun. Tomorrow (Wed.) we play in the League Semi-Final game to determine whether we will have the opportunity to play for the championship. It has been fun and I have really enjoyed the girls.

Ed sends his regards. :) We love and miss you all! May God be with you and bless you!
