oh yeah, the bachelorette party!

and so, since there is now someone to admire things like favorite rocketship underpants (or otherwise lovely underthings!), my friends threw me a bachelorette party the week before the wedding... :D

the very pink bachelorette throne :)

negar, jamak and yas...

sahba, parwane, stephanie...

joanna, carolina, emem

johanna, sherri, julie...

c'est fini!

last wednesday we had our last book 6 session at our new flat with pasta dinner and happy smiling faces... or rather, "are you done YET?" faces, as seen below... i guess it was about time to wrap up the book... ;)
they say bumping heads is a sign of true love... arjang and tazien both reaching for rose petals that fell out of the prayer book :) married a few months ago!
the happy smiling faces of relieved ruhi-ers, ready to teach (or not, i guess, since we're in israel!), already planning what they will do with their now free wednesday nights! :D
and a cute pic of patrik, for good measure :)

faltan marcelo y la sandra

famille nkouaga
(un peu fatigues)
*patrik, rebecca, ferdinand, carole & matthew*
(michel, betrand, abel & florent dans cameroon)

les presento mis tres familias... la primera por nacimiento, y la segunda y tercera por matrimonio :) me es extran~o tratar de explicar la conexion entre todos nosotros, cuando simplemente considero a todos como mi familia. estoy con un poco de nostalgia en estos dias, queriendo verlos a todos, pero sabiendo que seria casi imposible reunir a todos estos gringos/chilenos/cameroonianos en el mismo lugar... solo si algun dia logro comparme una linea aerea :D asi que me conformo con tenerlos en foto y pensarlos mucho... big hugs...

happy ridvan!

happy (belated) ridvan everyone! here's my new siblings-in-law, carole (beyond ready to have her baby!) & matthew with us on the ninth day of ridvan :D

new blog :)
