Slacker

i haven't updated my blog in a long time. but, i have a mediocre excuse. i have been in tanzania, where the internet is infinitely slow and frustrating. i do not have the time or patience to attempt to blog in said country. love the country and it was actually quite liberating to be not so dependent on the net. however, going without power for a week was not so much fun. my other excuse is that i didn't actually realize that anyone read it except for danielle and i talk to her on the phone. my parents informed me that they didn't understand that a blog was something that you had to log into periodically to read. they thought it was more like email, wherein i sent them stuff every so often. but, aunt cindy and uncle jeff, quite a bit more internet savvy, have informed me that they did mourn the absence of any recent photos or random stories. so, for my few but loyal readers, i will attempt again to be an at-least-weekly blogger. and i will go back in the life for anyone who wants to see my pictures of tanzania.
