invited us to a dinner for the 53rd Anniversary of Ghana's Independence!
Which...by the way....we jumped on...because..
A) We haven't had a date night in ages...

and
B) We haven't had a date night in ages....
oh...I said that already....
B) We really really enjoy cultural experiences, and thought it would be fun...
Which it was by the way...the most fun we have had in ages.
Those guys really know how to throw a party!
C) We don't get to spend much time with our friends, and that was fun too!
The food was absolutely incredible...
The outfits were beautiful...

She spoke on the Theme, "Strengthening Our Youth"
