My Trip to America Part 3-Tyson Fey

-
After we went to the Oarabile, we went to my grandma and grandpa. We got there and I was the first to go in. they were so happy to see us. We were also happy to see them. We got there and settled in and ate. We ate snicker salad, beans, steak wrapped in bacon. The food was so good!!!!!!! We then talked and went to bed. Then we got up and ate. We also watched a lot of movies and shows.

Sometimes we would go to uncle Justin’s farm. I went there and helped with some stuff and drove the ranger. Sometimes the cows would get out of their fence and we had to help. I got to drive the ranger to my uncle’s moms house. Me and my cousins would play cops and robbers on the ranger, it was fun.  Some days we would go to the Edgerton city pool. Onetime they had a competition, I got second place for the coolest trick!! At the end of the competitions there was a penny dive, I got 71 cents.

We also went to the lake. It was so fun!!! We went tubing and played in the water. We also ate some nice food. When we were all done swimming, we went to open presents on the shore of the lake. I got $50, some clothes, an i-tunes gift card, and a card that said I had 25 dollars. We also went out to get stuff with our money. I got a Lego set.

Another time we went to a rodeo. It was brutal!!! People got hurt a lot. Only one guy managed to stay on for the whole eight seconds. Before this there was parade, I got lots of candy!!
We would also sleep over at my cousin’s house. One time we shot pigeons, we almost killed them. Another time we slept over we told scary stories. I was so scared!!! We would also drive on their four wheeler. They also had a horse that I rode on once.

We had lots of fun in Minnesota.

When we had made the decision to uproot our lives in the US and move to South Africa, I was so hungry for information about what living in South Africa would look like. We had been to South Africa several times as a couple, Darin had come on work trips, and we had spent 10 weeks here with our children. We knew some people, had been into various shops, and had a familiarity with the sounds of English being spoken with a variety of accents. However, there is a big difference between leaving home to visit a place for a few weeks or months and entirely uprooting your life in one place to start over in another. What were the schools like, would I have access to familiar ingredients to cook with, what about healthcare?  I scoured the internet to find stories about living in South Africa and found a few women who were more than happy to answer my questions, however random and weird they were. There was Annie, an American living in Pretoria, whose entire blog I read in one day and when Dar...

New friends

On Saturday, we finally met the DiCocco’s. I had first found out about Billy, Trace and their family through my friend Sarah, who had met them at Mars Hill church. Trace writes a blog, which I began stalking as soon as I knew we’d be moving to South Africa. Strangely enough, my other friend Sarah and I later figured out that the family I kept going on and on about used to be her neighbors! Such a small world. The DiCocco’s have been living near Johannesburg for several years doing ministry with a few different organizations. I loved reading through her blog, seeing the pictures, and imagining what our life might look like once we moved to South Africa. As our move got closer, I began to email Trace and she would answer all my crazy and not so crazy questions. It was so wonderful to have someone over HERE who used to live right near us and knew all about the transition process. Since we’ve been her, we’ve continued to email and we also made plans to meet up with them to check out a ho...

Family Fun Friday

We have almost reached the end of the winter holiday. Tyson and Jori go back to school on Wednesday. We have some fun activities planned for the next few days, but we will also be cleaning bedrooms and setting out uniforms and lunch boxes. Let the school fun begin! Overall, it has been a fun holiday. Tyson and Jori have both had school friends over to play, we've made it to church twice, we've been out for pizza, had donuts, did some baking, and more. Friday, however, was probably the highlight of the school holidays for us. The day started with Jori losing her first tooth! Our baby girl is growing up. We had a few errands to run and took the kids with us. While Darin was busy at Cashbuild ordering supplies for an upcoming building project at TYB, Tyson, Jori and I went to Pick N Pay and King Pie for a little treat. We shared with Darin, of course. We spent a few hours at home, then headed out at 3 for our big adventure. We drove slowly and took a mini game drive on ...
