I met Chris at a Global Issues Service Summit in Mozambique back in 2011.
He was teaching in Nigeria at the time and I was teaching in Uganda. It was at
this conference, during a happy hour conversation with Chris and other
service-learning folks, that my dissertation research project was first
brainstormed. Nearly four years later, it’s fun to be able to swap ideas
together again. Chris has been a huge supporter of my research from its inception.
Chris is married to an awesome woman, Amanda. Amanda, who I
met for the first time two weeks ago, is both funny and down to earth. She is
incredible with their spunky 2-year-old daughter. I’ve really enjoyed getting
to know her and am so grateful for her willingness to take in another verbose
extrovert.
As my journey continues, I am perpetually struck by how
lucky I am to have such great friends around the world.
PS- I haven’t forgotten how to count (yes, I know my last
post about hosts described “bed 2”). Bed #3 was a hotel for the triathlon in
Watamu, bed #4 was a tent in the Masai Mara.
