For the last two weeks we have had the hardest workers you can imagine living in our house and pushing us to get ready for this move! Grandpa came all the way from the US of A to South Africa to help us MOVE IT! My baby brother, who is now known around this house…
Those of you who know me know that I love anything that has to do with cooking. I am so excited today to introduce you to new friends of mine (hi, guys!) who are taking the world by storm with their cooler-than-ever-company, Yuppiechef. They have just published my photos and writing on their lovely blog…
The road to Burundi is probably not paved with cheese, just like it wasn’t in an American Tail. All the mice sang about it, about a place where the streets were paved with cheese, where there were no cats. A threat-less path made of food sounds pretty good to me right now too! I can’t…
Getting ready to sell off most of our things tomorrow. It’s kind of sad and a little scary, but mostly just draining. No time to write, gotta get back to organizing. But I wanted to say “hi”. Hi. Until a calmer day…
Thanks Shannon, you’re a rock star!
Home will seem different with so many things gone, but it will make it easier and more realistic for that Burundi move. There will be sadness too.

I just wrote a seven page report on the intricacies of this season’s Burundi coffee harvest. I’m not going to let you get it! If you love coffee, it’s like a good novel that you won’t be able to put down and it might just destroy any hope of productivity you have until you can…

longmilescoffee - can’t wait to meet you Marina!
marina - Hi Kristy,
I’ve been reading your blog ever since my husband and I met your husband in Burundi just a few weeks ago. I wish you well on your journey – you are just a few steps ahead of us in liquidating your lives and making the big move to Burundi.
We lead short-term mission trips to Burundi and are there 4x per year, approximately 2 wks each time. We will be there in late June/early July and hope to be able to meet you and your family.
We will be praying for your safe journey and for great joy in this new adventure!
