Merry Christmas, My Loves

Merry Christmas, sweeties I don't know what you're doing for Christmas, but for me, I went to an evening service with Igwe yesterday. It was our first Christmas at our new church, so we didn't really know what to expect. We. Loved. It. The choir was so on point. One of the singers, don't remember his name now, sang a solo - Mary, Did You Know. Mm. Mm. Mm. Oyibo people can sing ooo! Well, he was Black, but as a Nigerian, if you're American, you're Oyibo. I was in tears before the end of Read More

It’s Almost My Birthday And I Have A Wish List!

My birthday is almost here .... Alleluia!! I always have a birthday wish list every year, and 2014 will not be different. Oh, my birthday is on January 14th ... cause I know you must be wondering. Apart from working on making January 14th a global holiday - of course! - I'm also working on acquiring the following items. I usually have things that I don't even know if I will be able to get, like a Range Rover or a house in Lekki (even though I've never been to Lekki). This time, I'm putting Read More

What Are You Thankful For?

Happy Thanksgiving, sweeties! Thanksgiving is a huge holiday here in America where all turkeys are in jeopardy. Luckily for all turkeys, I don't like turkey, so there is no turkey-baking, boiling, frying, or whatever else happens to turkeys in this household. I have also never, ever done a big Thanksgiving meal, but that is in the plan one of these days - obviously not today. All that being said, I am so thankful - not just because today is Thanksgiving Day, the official day to be Read More

Please Pray For My Friend, Funmie

You don't have to read this blog forever to know that I have a special friend, Funmie. Well, Funmie is always a happy and overly dramatic person, but recently, she has encountered what might be a life-altering problem, so I'd really appreciate it if you take a minute from your day to pray for Funmie and her situation. Funmie has been experiencing depression, heart palpitations, anxiety, and sudden bouts of frustration. Life has dealt her a hard blow, and like most people, she was not Read More

My Weekend Recount: Bowling, The Best Man Holiday, & The Best Baby Shower Ever

I don't know how my weekend recounts usually make it on the blog in the middle of the week when I'm already prepping for the following weekend. Seven days simply isn't enough for one week, and 24 hours isn't enough for one day. Is it too late to add days and hours? I think not. Friday: Igwe and I went on a double date with his good friend, Pelumi and his girl, Sade. (Or is it spelled as Shade?). We went bowling, and I am disappointed to tell you that I did not win --- neither did Igwe. But in Read More
