IFest 2008

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
This years International Festival's theme was Out of Africa with spotlight on Ethiopia. It was absolutely awesome. They had a reproduction of one the famed churches of Lalibela, dancers, lots of booths overflowing with Ethiopian wares, food, I mean the works! Hubby and I had a blast. We met another AP, she was there with her gorgeous baby girl that's been home from ET for 2 months. She allowed me to hold her and it felt soo good. Boy I CANNOT wait to get my own baby girl in my arms. We exchanged info. and hopefully we'll keep in touch.
The ET women are beyond gorgeous. I mean stunning. Ms. Gracie comes from some serious genetic perfection. We met quite a few people and I told a few about our girl. Honestly, the reaction was somewhat "strange" for lack of a better word. I would initially tell them that Hubby and I were going to ET in 2 weeks to which their eyes lit up, then I'd say that we were picking up our daughter and their faces changed. I honestly can't say what the look was. But it definatley didn't appear to be delight. Who knows I could be reading it wrong. Anywhoo, it was really a neat day and I'm so glad we had a little taste of what's to come. Smooches
