http://springvilleclassof98.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Springville Class of '98. Thursday, June 19, 2008. 10 years has gone by in a blink yet been so full of adventure as I'm sure it has been for everyone whether you're in Utah, away, single or married or have children. And this is what makes it so hard to know where to begin. After graduating from Springville High I attende. This summer has been filled with many mini reunions for our family and we are so grateful for this time to reflect and reconnect and we look forward to seeing/hearing from as many of yo...

Jessica's Rants: Feb--2008--who knew?
http://jessicasrants.blogspot.com/2008/02/feb-2008-who-knew.html
Thoughts on anything and everything I encounter-. Feb- 2008- who knew? Currently I am being paid by the Micronutrient Initiative (MI). They are a Canadian based NGO that works to end ‘hidden hunger’ aka micronutrient deficiencies like Vitamin A, Iodine, Zinc, Iron, etc. They are paying me to do three jobs:. Work with Jim Levinson and in country staff to create a Long Term plan for them in Ethiopia. Well—onto the regular dose of random observations, complaints, and stories—. I can not. I think the los...

Jessica's Rants: Happy Valentines Day
http://jessicasrants.blogspot.com/2008/02/happy-valentines-day.html
Thoughts on anything and everything I encounter-. I am trying my best to write more often so they are shorter—so here goes. I am starting this on Feb 11th, we’ll see when it is finished and sent! 1 Construction workers in flip flops, standing on scaffolding made of branches, laced together with homemade rope, 6 stories above the ground. No safety belts, no helmets, and rocks as hammers. But, really how important is a helmet when you have no shoes? What about ‘not giving’ on principle? Yes, I am the kind ...

Springville Class of '98. Monday, June 16, 2008. After USU I was accepted to Princeton University's Department of Near Eastern Studies where I pursued a Master's Degree and continued to study Arabic and Arab culture from some world class professors.

As a wet behind the ears newbie to the real world, I worked at the Mosaic Foundation ( www.mosaicfound.org. As to my personal life. There isn't one! We are having...

Jessica's Rants: Malawi Part One
http://jessicasrants.blogspot.com/2010/04/malawi-part-one.html
Thoughts on anything and everything I encounter-. Hello- sorry it has been such a while, again. I won't bore you with an apology, rather just jump straight into my latest adventure, Malawi. For me, Malawi was my first work in Southern Africa, and my first trek firmly in the Southern Hemisphere. Though I have hovered around the equator in Uganda and Kenya, this was my first trip south. It was a wonderful experience and a STUNNING country. Below you will find notes on all I saw and did-. You must learn tha...

Jessica's Rants: Lalibela and Donkeys
http://jessicasrants.blogspot.com/2008/02/lalibela-and-donkeys_28.html
Thoughts on anything and everything I encounter-. Randomly, my sister-in-law would translate bits of what he had sad, but was unable to translate back my response. This fun time lasted 2 hours, as my husband lay home watching TV (to be fair, he had gotten a wisdom tooth pulled out that morning, but why did I have to go to the wedding? Why in the world would I consider putting myself so close to death! A random note, as I do those best, is one leftover trait from my ‘country’ dwelling I have y...We have 3...

Jessica's Rants: Nepal
http://jessicasrants.blogspot.com/2008/11/nepal.html
Thoughts on anything and everything I encounter-. I know—seems too soon to be hearing from me, now your expectations are low—just where I like them. It seems i have found my voice again, so be prepared, this is long. 295 million people call it home. The highest point, and the reason I am guessing most of you know of Nepal, is Mt Everest at 29, 035 feet (8,850 meters) and, what will surprise many of you, is a lowest point of 230 feet ( 70 meters)! 2 Average walk to a market, 11.5 hours ONE WAY! 6 They hav...

Jessica's Rants: Lalibela Pictures
http://jessicasrants.blogspot.com/2008/02/lalibela-pictures.html
Thoughts on anything and everything I encounter-. I have a hard time figuring out how to load these photos onto this page and keep with the text i write when i publish the page- possibly internet challenged, but in my defense i have lived abroad where computers don't abound for a LONG time. Anyway- a montage of Lalibela pictures! This is a typical home. I am fascinated how they get it two stories! It's rocks, sticks and mud. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Places I go on the Web.
