So Talented!!!

Look at what Baby Heath can do:

This is the kid I saw when I was home. I'm not sure who my family is sending me pictures of now. He looks so different, but I guess that's what babies do; grow and change.

Anyways, I hope things are going well for everyone!!! I'll be traveling for the next two weeks, so I'll be back in May with pictures and stories of course.

Sickness

#1- if you think too much about the word "sick" it sort of begins to look and sound funny

#2- when words start to sound funny, you just want to repeat them which makes your roommate think you've officially lost your mind

#3- yesterday I got over being the sickest I've ever been since being here

#4- when you're sick for 12 days (yeah, I was counting) you start to look for benefits such as weight loss

#5- no weight loss occurred over the past 12 days

#6- I'm no longer sick, but the meds I'm on make everything taste like you're chewing on a battery!!!

The team was over the other night for dinner and I said, "Sorry guys if the water tastes bad, I don't know what's wrong." Everyone responded, "The water taste normal." Earlier I had apologized for the watermelon tasting funny and they said, "this watermelon tastes great...where did you get it?" At that point, I realized things were tasting a little different to me. The entire day, I just thought it was the water I drank that morning that left a bad taste in my mouth. Eventually, I looked up side effects of the medicine and it said, "Could cause a metallic taste."

Norfloz TZ, you definitely left a metallic taste in my mouth!!! and I'm sick of it. haha, I used "sick." Yeap, Abby you're right, I'm losing my mind!!! I am blogging about a bad taste in my mouth.

There's really no point of this and no pictures, so it's a pretty lame post. I'll try again later.

Stupidness Thing Thus Far...

Is when I paid to jump off of this thing:

It's the third highest bungee jumping bridge in the world!!!!

This is what I saw when I looked down:

Here's the bridge:

I know the pics aren't that great and they don't do it justice, but that's the best angle I could get. I have a video of me jumping. I almost chickened out, but they told me I couldn't get a refund, so I jumped!!!

New Camera

That means the neighborhood girls now cover over for a daily photo shoot. This day they pranced around, posed in the garden and demanded that I take their picture. I took around 200 pics of them. Here are just a few:

Everest Pics

These are pics from our Everest flyover:

A view of the Himalayas out of the window:

Here she is:

I'm not going to lie, I thought she would tower over the rest. She's the highest peak to the left that has snow blowing off of it.

Can you believe people actually summit that beast every year??? It takes around two months and a sweet deal of $65,000!!! Flying over it is enough for me!!! They say once you summit it, you can look down and see bodies of dead people that weren't so lucky. The bodies are left b/c no one can safely get to them...YIKES!!!

Our Travels

I don't even know how to begin to write about our big adventure. The travel itinerary was as follows:

Day 1:

-4 hours down the mountain in a cab then

-4 hours on the train

Day 2:

-3 hour flight

-3 hour cab ride

-1 detour b/c of a road strike, so plus a few more minutes in a truck on a bumpy dirt road

Day 3:

-14 hours on a bus. One in which the seat in front of my was completely broken so I had a grown man fully reclined in his seat pressed against my knees for the entire trip. Abby and I both had bruises after that. Also my seat was broken, but instead of leaning back it leaned to the side. So on every left curve I was dangling in the aisle. Needless to say, but I'm back on caffeine!!! I don't fair so well traveling without it.

Day 4:

-Pepto is needed!!! Abby gets offered marijuana. I laugh; she doesn't. We get stuck across town b/c of another road strike, so we go native and walk for a few hours back to our hotel.

Day 5: We fly over Mt. Everest!!!...more pepto needed!!! Abby gets offered marijuana again!!!! I'm still laughing.

Day 6: Bungee jumping day...my pepto is out, so now onto Abby's. We get in a wreck on the bus. Don't worry guys I only broke a finger nail!!! Abby is fine as well.

Day 7: Abby gets offered marijuana and she goes off on the man. "Do I look like someone who does that stuff???" I'm nearly wetting my pants at this point.

The next days we repeat days 1 and 2 to arrive at home a few hours before Easter. Our internet is really slow, so I promise I'll put up more pics when I can.

Easter

We had a great Easter here!!! I love Easter!!! ..."if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." 1Cor. 15:14 Good thing He is Risen!!! Many people can die for a good cause, but I've never heard of any of them walking out of a tomb!!! Anyways, here are some pics from our little South Asian Celebration:

Egg dye was complimentary of Whitney. Thanks Whito, we had a ton of fun dying eggs!!!

These little kids kept finding the eggs before the hunt began, so naturally I chased them. They thought I couldn't find them behind this bench.

You know you are in the third world when the best egg hiding spots are behind trash.

I'm working on getting my bungee jumping video so you guys can view it. Oh yeah, I jumped off the third highest bungee bridge in the WORLD!!!

I'm Back...

I'm back from our recent travels to a foreign land. Of course, I have tons of stories and cool pictures including ones of the tallest mountain in the world!!! So, stay tuned pics and stories will be coming this week!!!

I just watched the movie, "My Sister's Keeper." Bad idea, considering that I miss my fam and its Easter!!! I think I'll go to bed to "Little Women" to make up for that bad mistake.

Peace
