: )

so i've been informed that I haven't posted in awhile... sorry! Anyway, last week was a FABULOUS week. A lovely person known as a one James Misner came and visited. We had an amazing time!

On saturday night we played pull with my roomie and her boyfriend. It was actually pretty cool. I have to say i'm quite proud of our skills. neither of us have really ever played pool and yet we beat them. it was beautiful. The next morning we went to this place called the Green turtle. It was a long drive and for those of you who know james, you know that he can't really sit still. He did ok this time : ). he fell right to sleep. We had some issues getting to the place cause it's in the middle of absolutely no where. we had to drive on a dirt road with nothing around us for about 20 minutes to get there.

Anyway, we got there and it was the most amazing place. It's totaly eco friendly so it's all solar powered and the toilets, showers and such are all self composting (i probably didn't spell that right). everyone who works there is from the local village and most of the money generated by the place goes back to the village. so it was cool. We took walks and slept on the beach the entire time we were there. (as well as a canoe trip) and................... WE GOT ENGAGED! It was beautiful. He did it right at sunset on the beach. The ring is beautiful and we are incredibly excited!

After the fabulous green turtle and engagement we decided to go to hohoe which is a village that is near the two highest mountains in ghana. we climbed one of them. It was definately NOT my idea. But we did it! It was a bit painful. I told him that if he had proposed from the top i would have said no. this trail was straight up. Not like american trails on mountains which kind of go around so it's not steep. nooooooooooooo this one went pretty muchs traight up. we actually had to use our hands in some moments to climb up the rocks. I'm glad we did it though. I can't look back at it and not laugh.

The town of hohoe was pretty cool too. It was really quaint and we just got to walk around and find random little things in it. It was like one amazing date week!

Overall, the week was amazing! I wish you all could come here! I definately had so much fun. sorry this isn't very detailed but i'm almost out of time. love you guys!
