Spring Break!

Here are my beautiful beach bums! We spent spring break this year in Miami. We had tons of fun. We spent a few days on the beach, were we all got sunburns, except for Ian. Greg took us to the Miami Sea Aquarium, where we got to see a BIG killer whale and dolphins. We sat on the front row and got a little wet. (I hope Greg's camera has recovered). Greg also took us to Gator World, where we went on a boat ride in the everglades and saw crocodiles. Each of us even got to hold one. (More pictures coming soon). Those of you in Wyoming and in Utah, let the sun shine on you from these pictures! As I write this it is starting to rain, and snow is expected tonight. So close your eyes and imagine the warmth and light of the computer screen as the warm tropical sun in Miami!

Understanding Me to We

Here is another video made by Spencer.
Amazing!

I Am Changed

HA! I figured it out!

I Am Changed

This video is also by Greg. He is sooooo talented! I am forever changed by this experience. All because of one little, beautiful, angel boy. And because of Greg, who was inspired, and has led and guided us all on this amazing journey. Thank you and we love you!

Another amazing video from our trip. We loved this song.
We thought it could be another version of "I am a Child of God."
Nabala, our Masai warrior is singing. Love him!

No Words to Say

This amazing video is by Greg from their trip into Kibera.

Figuring it Out??

Hi All,

Here is video from our Africa trip taken by Spencer (Hope you don't mind Spencer, I loved it) This is Spencer with the Masai warriors, Wilson and Nabala. They were awesome and went every where with us. I have a lot respect for these men. We wish we would have taken video from our trip, but we are glad there were a few video cameras there. The first part is of Spencer and Darrin being transported by U-haul to get on the airplane. Funny! Enjoy! I am still figuring all this blog stuff out, ie; how to download videos from U-tube and what not. So be patient. Thanks!

More Africa!!

New Blog!

Hey everyone,
I have just created a new blog for my real estate. For more information on what's happening in the lovely world of buying and selling houses, go to http://milliesrealestate.blogspot.com/. I hope you find this blog useful. I will update it every few days or so.
Last night, after I had stayed up surfing the Internet, I couldn't sleep. So I laid in bed and just let my thoughts wonder. I was thinking about service and love and how I could apply it to real estate. I suddenly had an idea. What if I got by office together and had Realtor service day? What if we went on a Realtor Service scavenger hunt, doing little things for people, like washing a window, or vacuuming or mopping their floor? I got so excited about this idea I really couldn't sleep! I have done this activity with achievement day girls and it was one of my favorite activities! I don't know, maybe people will think we are weird. Let me know what you think.

Africa!!

What an amazing experience! I wish I could pack you all up and take you back there. These pictures are of when we first arrived at one of the schools. We were mobbed by children. You can see as we had barely gotten out of the truck they came running to greet and hug us. Jumbo! (Hello) Most of them could say "What is your name?" And understood simple phrases, like "how are you?" (Habari) and you would respond with "muzuri san," (very fine). We stayed at the school for a couple of hours, just playing and talking to the kids and looking at their classrooms and their work. They teach them English starting in primary school, plus they know their tribal language, like Masai or Kipsiki, and then they teach them Swahili, which is the universal Kenyan language. The sweater you see them wearing are school uniforms. For most of them, it's the only clothes they have. Most of them were barefoot. They don't have any shoes. I felt really bad because I kept stepping on their toes with my hiking boots. But they didn't seem to mind.

They like to touch our hair and skin and hold our hands and follow us around. When Lynn would go to take their picture, they would all jump in front of him and then run to see their picture behind the lens and giggle. We have many pictures and experiences we would like to share with you all, so I will post more when I have time. Lynn took over 1500 pictures, so if you have a couple of hours, come on over and we would be happy to re-live those experiences with you!
