Naw...........I'm here. I'm just not usually around on weekends. It's my time with my daughter. I don't mind taking time away from work for VJ, but not my baby girl. Plus, it was too hot to type here this weekend. I even tried to slow my breathing cause I think I was overexerting myself!

I'm leaving in two weeks.

I want to go with you.

Thanks for asking Uno

I'm in Ghana ........ for the next 4 weeks....getting my wedding and bridemaids dresses made .... oh yeah and working

I want to be there with you.

Zee

What area are you staying in? I'm in North Labone about 5 minutes from the Embassy.

Before you travel PM me or (have your people call my people), and I will give you my Ghana numbers. Maybe we could do lunch B)

Why are you awake? It's 2 in the morning!

I may spend a couple nights in Accra, then I'm planning to go to Amasaman to stay with Bassi's parents for a while. Otherwise, no firm plans. Definitely, email me your number in Ghana and I will give you a call when I'm there. I'll definitely be at the Embassy. Hopefully, you'll hear my screams of joy!!

Post some pics when you get back please, I want to see those dresses !

[We_Destiny 1]

I'm bring the cola nuts, the hot, Malta and Fanta to the celebration.

I know I am usually restless The first few nights away from my guy is always the hardest...after a couple of days I will settle into sleping alone and not getting elbowed in the head in the middle of the night. It is so crazy the things we miss about people when they are away.

Hey Omoba

I will.. I have to post pics to the bridemaids, they have only seen my drawing of the design of the dress and are probably a little nervous. I have women from size 0 to size 26 and none can imagine how a dress will look nice on all of them. I already know that West African clothes are very forgiving and can accomodate any size woman and make her look beautiful. So, they are all awaiting the results of the dress, and I will post some of the pics here.

This whole wedding has gotten so out of hand I am dumbstruck.. and excited at the same time.

I started out wanting 3 bridemaids and now I have 11. I carried over a 180 yards of fabric on the plane can you imagine? My female family members all want to wear West African clothes, so I have atleast 20 dresses, 15 men's tuxedo vest, my mothers 4 outfits she wants to have backup dresses just in case (what tha he!!?) plus my clothes to make. The seamestress is going to want to beat me when she sees all this fabric. Gotta love Ghana a whole bridalparty's worth of clothes in under 1 week.

I have told all the bridemaids that the clothes will fit them perfectly, if anyone losses or gains weight I am going to have there head, I lied and told them there is no place in Chicago to alter the clothes. The wedding is in August and we don't have room for alterations.

Sorry I was ranting

That wedding seems like a dream come true....congratulations on that. I am looking forward to seeing pictures too. My guy is from Nigeria, but I laughed when I read about the hot fanta and malta, and especially the cola nuts. I experienced them ALL on a regular basis during my trips. Oh how I wanted the soft drinks to be really COLD. But I loved it all. God bless you during your current trip and I pray that you have a spectacular wedding event.

Hey We_Destiny ,

I really hope you are having a great time and I know you will make a beautiful bride on your blessed day .

Just know that a marriage is a union of 3 ; God, man and woman.

I really wish you the best .

While you are there, find "Chris" (my so-called husband ) and for me.

(ahem...) Anywho , I was asking aboutcha cuz I hadn't seen hide nor hair from you. Enjoy your trip and all that it affords you B) B) .

just wanted to add this prayer/poem.

UNO

Marriage Takes Three

I once thought marriage took

Just two to make a go,

But now I am convinced

It takes the Lord also.

And not one marriage fails

Where Christ is asked to enter,

As lovers come together

With Jesus at the center.

But marriage seldom thrives,

And homes are incomplete,

Till He is welcomed there

To help avoid defeat.

In homes where Christ is first,

It's obvious to see,

Those unions really work,

For marriage still takes three.

As always thanks UNO your words and humor always brightens VJ.

Girl you being a recent graduate you know how taking these bleeping classes will keep you busy. I am always snooping around lurking for updates of everyone bizness.

I really put toooo much on my plate and should have reduced my course load. But as they say "a hard head makes a soft behind", and I am taking a big time whooping. But only one more semester to go and I get some new initials behind my name ; well atleast on my business cards .

You know I am a fellow Chicago girl and I know how to give a real beat down... so, you just point me in his direction. I will get one of those minature White Sox bats and give him a whooping he won't soon forget (shouting this is for UNO all the way through the beating). I will give him an old fashioned "Pumpkin Head" West Side style. You just point me in the right direction !!!!!

good morning everyone. today is new dvd day!

[Bassi and Zainab 1]

Hey ya'll!

We_Destiny, I couldn't stay up as long as you. Sorry for the restlessness..........I hope you settle in soon.

You are a goddess for doing all of that. I'm so through with "wedding" stuff, I'm thinking about a BBQ in the back yard! I'm serious! I can't wait to see everyone in your wedding party, I just know it's going to be beautiful!

Uno, by the time Zee and I get to Ghana, poor Chris will be in hiding wondering if all the VJ ladies are on their way across the ocean! As my girlfriend says, Don't make me go Brooklyn on you!
