makes you think...

So when we went to Kampala a while back (for the Safari) we went to a mall called garden city. They had this big bookstore which Lindsay, Vicki and I spent a ton of time in. I was eyeing this photography book called "Hope in the Dark" (By Jeremy Cowart and Jena Lee), but didn't really want to buy it because it was kind of expensive and I convinced myself that I could buy it online when I got home if I still wanted it. Vicki knew how much i wanted it, so she sneekily went and got it for me, so when I got home a while later there was this book as a present on my bed. Honestly, thank you so much Vicki - one of the best books, and it really means the world to me.

I just thought I would share a quote that I found particularly touching.
