First Post + South Africa!!

Hey guys!  Welcome to my blog.  I have been thinking about doing this for a while and thought that since I just got back from South Africa there has never been a better time!  The title of my blog is "The Heart of Life is Good" like one of my favorite John Mayer songs.  I truly believe this phrase.  The heart of my life is the Lord, travel, food and friends and plan to share all of that with you through this blog!!


For my first post, I am going to share with you about South Africa!  I went for about a week and a half with my mom and my sister to celebrate my sister's graduation from Ole Miss (Hotty Toddy!).  We toured Johannesburg and spent six days at two of the Ezulwini lodges near Krueger National Park.  It was truly an incredibly unique experience.


Each Game Drive we went on was like an exciting scavenger hunt looking for amazing animals to watch and take pictures of.  It was spectacular to see all of the animals in their natural habitat.  The whole time we were there we were searching for "The Big Five" which includes leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and water buffalo.  They are called this because they are the most dangerous hunted animals.  As you can see in the pictures to follow...we found all of them!

We saw a ton of animals, ate some interesting food and had a really great time just relaxing and spending time together.  I hope that each of y'all get to have an experience like this at least once in your life!  If you want to see more pictures feel free to check out my album on facebook or just come over and hang out with me and i'll show you all 500+!
