Trade-offs & Good Wishes

I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to be in Swaziland, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t times I feel acutely aware of all that I’m missing at home. Usually a gchat, Skype session, or good email chain will do the trick in curing some home-longing. But then there are moments where the reality kicks in and I’m reminded that my being in Southern Africa puts me very far away from the people I love and some of the big milestones in their lives. The last few weeks have had quite a few. And while I can’t be there to help celebrate, I’m thinking of all those wonderful friends, and wishing them all the happiness I can from afar.

CONGRATULATIONS to…
Sandy and Daniel Hinchman on the birth of their first child, Daniel Edward “Ward” Hinchman IV! What a cutie--and a little Wahoo in the making! Check out all that hair.



Abby Rotman and her husband, Ben, on their new marriage! Many a Holtonites was there to represent (and drink some champagne?) on my behalf, I’m sure!

Nani Abrams and her soon-to-be husband, Josh! I have no doubt the wedding will be quite the dance party!
