Newlyweds

William and I are newlyweds!!! Ok, I know that is a funny comment to make. But you know I think this week is the first week that we have been able to just enjoy being newly married. In less than two weeks after our wedding Kenya started to come apart at the seams. We were under so much stress that I believe we were more in survival mode than anything else. There were discussions of emergency evacuation plans etc. as we watched our community and country fall into utter chaos.

Then just as an agreement was reached and a sense of calm descended upon the country we had several family emergencies come up. So this last week was our first week of peace and calm in the Kiprop family. Not to say that we haven't enjoyed being married or that we have been fighting or anything like that. We have just had too much on our plate to relax and take time to really enjoy being together and having fun. This weekend we slept in on Sat and Sun. We stayed around the house and played with our animals. It was so nice to have a sense of normalcy and some time to just let our hair down. We are now looking forward to what the rest of this year will hold for us.
