Shark Cage Diving,pictures, & spectacular things :-)

Let me just say, I have the best husband in the world.  I was so blessed when God led him into my life and gave him to me as a gift.  I just get a super silly grin when I think about it, we are super dorks, and I love every minute of it.  We just have so much fun together, we go shark cage diving, hiking, and the other day we even had a mini date to go to the Humane Society to play with puppies. How awesome. :-D



If you look in the cage I'm the third person to the left



Well, as you all know Kelsey, Jeremy and I went shark cage diving this weekend. IT WAS SO RADICAL!! I saw a 4 1/2 meter long shark. It was CRAZY, and it hit the cage I was in. O my word.  We got out there and chummed for sharks, (throwing dead bloody yucky fish over board) for an hour and there were no sharks...I was like ooo nooo...because it's at the end of the season for shark cage diving, but then another boat said they found a shark, so we went to go steal their shark, and we got in, and then saw the sharks...it was wicked.

Uh, yes that's a shark shadow...
Told you Jaws was real



When it goes by the boat and your looking down you get so scared. I was starting to get a little sea sick but I brought motion sickness tablets so I was okay. 

We survived the sharks...and got certificates of bravery

God made everything big and small...I think God was in an intense mood the moment he made sharks, because they are scary looking.  But I'm fine.  No bones lost, no blood shed! But I did lose my phone :-/



Modeling monkey...
it was hilarious

We went to Monkeyland, where they have something liike 400 monkeys I think. I don't know, some crazy amount, one even sat on my shoulder and tried to steal my scarf, heres how it went



The bridge of the incident, which is a huge
awesome suspension bridge



Monkey: Give me give me, pretty scarf!

Aj: Oh your cute

Monkey tries to bite my shoulder and take scarf "I will kill you if I have to!"

Jer: Take a picture!

Aj: I CAN'T, I have the camera it doesn't work that way!

Kelsey: AJ THE MONKEY IS GOING TO KILL YOU!

Monkey tries to bite again

Aj: Not that bad, okay that one kind of hurt...

Aj running from monkey, while monkey sends evil eye...



I like to move it move it...



Party people at Oktoberfest



I also went to Oktoberfest here in South Africa. They love tradition, it was amazing, we danced the night away in between a club type atmopshere and this amazing German beat mix with old German music and new beats. Pretty sweet. But everyone stands and dances on tables...I also discovered how much I enjoy these Fruit Breezers (like wine coolers) slushies...they were AMAZING. But not the Leechee one. That one was not very good. Overall fantastic Oktoberfest. Check off the list! 



Possessed Monkey...super cute, but then
freaks out and becomes demon monkey. Creepy.



This weekend we are staying at home here in Port Elizabeth and going to this massive street market in Central (this time we KNOW where it's at). 

Also my mom's birthday was yesterday...got to call her via skype. Way exciting, she's going to Isreal, my mom...the world travelor...I gave her the bug ;)

Went dancing last night with my girlfriends, and got home at 2 am, I haven't done that in a long time, and then woke up at 7 to go to my Feminism Test (which I passed with sparkling colors). But I had the jibbers and NEEDED to go dancing, so it was worth it. But I'm pry going to go home after I type this up and take an nice nap after lunch, my father-in-law is rubbing off on me :-)

Finished my feminism class today. Amen. Never have to go again. I am a happy happy camper.

Today Kelsey, Inge and I are going to have a beach day today, eat some sushi, (I ATE SUSHI FOR THE FIRST TIME ON WEDNESDAY, quite good), and watch the Little Mermaid, I have the coolest best friends in South Africa.



Today was the last day of classes!!! Yay! Now just 3 tests and then I'm done with college. How exciting! God bless,

Am 

-This post is full of so many random things, I'm sorry if you have trouble following my train of thought, I'm just so excited and have a massive case of the jibbers.



ps. I'll touch down in Iowa in less than one month...craziness.

Also would like to put out there that CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNER! I love christmas...I'll have to talk about that in a later post perhaps. Hot Chocolate, wrapping paper, pie, family, gifts, ornaments, music, candy...did I mention all the great food?  And best of all it's Ferry year, so we're having massive christmas at my grandmas. Love love!

Life is magical. It just doesn't get better than this.:-)

Also perhaps, because yesterday I got a bunch of new African Worship music, so I've been dancing and smiling like a fool all day, and especially on my 45 minute walk to school. Love it.
