Happy Monday, Another work week starts but its a short one for most. except for me, Its just a regular work week for me. I work at Jewish nursing home, so the holidays are not celebrated. My family is back in Michigan anyway , Mr. family is here & more & likely we will be going over there but to me, I would just want to rest for the night shift.
This weekend the Mr. & I went over to his parents house & visited & watched some videos from hid uncles funeral in Nigeria. For the life of me I was trying to understand why you would want to take pictures & film a funeral. To me it seems slightly disrespectful. I know in their culture they are celebrating life which I get but I don't know. In a way I felt like I was invading the family moments but watching the video. Then some of the ppl were sunglasses in church!? what? who does that? I know your crying & grieving but really? Oh well. cultures are different & this will be my culture soon. Its something you have to get used to when you come from a different culture & i don't just mean American either.
We also had a conversation about the meaning of Names, & why we feel its important to name our children with strong meaningful names. Very interesting conversation let me tell you. I also told him that once we get engaged/married I plan on starting a new blog probably called "Two Tribes" because that how I feel that we are. lol he laughed like crazy & said ok. lol!
I got some orders in yesterday which is great of course, I just seem to be having an issue charging shipping, like the website isn't charging correctly. idk, I have emailed them & I am sure I will find a solution soon. I also will be having an After Thanksgiving sale for Black Friday & Cyber Monday. so make sure you stay tuned.

How was your weekend?
I think it's the sweetest thing that your blog will get a title after you are married-- too sweet. I too have issues with filming at a funeral, but my experiences were more of an outside documentary type intrusion to a private cultural and familial affair-- such interesting thoughts have been stirred by your post. Get some rest and have a beautiful day.
