So I am thoroughly in love with a bearded Nigerian giant. He simultaneously irks me and makes me smile with my heart (I don’t know how healthy that is). He’s my worst critic and my bff.  Either way, he took me time traveling and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  

So after not seeing him for 7 months he invited me over to his village (I’m for real) and introduced me to everything that makes him who he is. One afternoon we returned to his Secondary school and explored. The sun was out, but not as hot or as dusty as Bamako. The school was empty for the holidays, we drove in, parked and walked around for the best part of 2 hours. 

He showed me where they had lunch, where they hit on girls, where they had morning assembly, told me about his favorite memories. all in all it was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to more experiences with my beloved.
