daddy's girl

My African internet is going to make this blog short and sweet - we've had 2 power outages already today...

It's been another insanely busy week with lots of visitors, site walks, and of course the first world cup games. I spent the majority of my time spent this week in the field "fire-fighting" as my construction rep likes to call it. We had a visit from our project manager, which was a great success. It's so nice to have a visit from someone who hasn't been around for a few months. Fresh eyes always help point out the progress that we fail to see on a daily basis. And who doesn't like an atta-girl every once in a while!

Today is Father's Day back home and all I can say is that I am one lucky lady to have such amazing men in my life. My dad is the smartest, most patient man I have ever known, and I could only hope that the father of my future children is half the father that he has been to my brothers and me. On top of my Daddy, I am beyond blessed to have had BOTH of my grandfathers and three sweet uncles play such a critical part in my life. I know for a FACT that I wouldn't be where I am today without them...mostly because everytime I see any of them I am presented with some bogus, hypothetical (or real-life) engineering question that I have to answer. Let's just say that my on-the-spot presentation skills (which may or may not be 100% accurate) are a direct result of dealing with all those goobers ;)


I'm almost done with my "one-mores" which is when you get down to only one more Monday, Tuesday, etc. The only thing better than the one-mores is the no-mores...hurry up Tuesday!

26 days down, 9 to go! xoxo...
