team time

Today we took a trip to a local coffee shop, Agia Sophia. We had lots to celebrate--Sroda's birthday!

GSP Olympics

Team Ngonyama! (minus Laurence)

We've got faces as fierce as lions and are swift as gazelles on the mountaintops. Don't mess.

look who i found!

the ladies of aspen

All of the girls stay in Aspen Manor. Here's a peak into some of our bonding experiences thus far:

most of the girls had never had cookie dough before.

no bonding like hair bonding.

monica goes west

I've got my Chacos packed and I'm headed for Colorado! This summer (potentially my LAST summer) I am participating in a training program with the Navigators (remember Dollywood?) along with a bunch of other students from all over the world. I get to learn more about Jesus while enjoying the Rockies and making really cool friends. They are even letting me do kitchen duty! Okay, so that part is maybe not the most alluring, but I do hear I get my own chef's hat and apron. Glen Eyrie, here I come!

Pictures to come!

one wild weekend

This weekend was much crazier than anticipated. It was full of good time with family and old friends, lots of laughs and even a few tears. Here's a play by play...

To kick it all off, swing dancing with some Nav peeps up at UCF!

But that was nothing compared to the wreck that now is my car. :(
Fortunately the big brother came to the rescue!

Then a family celebration for Melissa's graduation...

And off to a wedding!
So many congratulations to Ben and Kameri Muir!

"pango"

My two favorite fruits are mango and peaches. And with my recent coconut obsession, I had to buy this find at my last trip to Publix. Made in Brazil, all natural, and high in potassium, I was already sold, but this final selling point's the kicker--the description on the back reads:

"The Original Power Couple: Introducing Peach and Mango. Hoping to join the ranks of celeb couples such as Brangelina, Tomkat and Cashica, Peach and Mango are considering being called Peacho, Pango, or Meaches."

Coconut water with a cheesy sense of humor? Don't mind if I do!

new skills

This is my third french braid ever. I may not be in school any more, but I'm still a-learning!

celebrating the little sister

Drama Banquet with my super cool little sister. Congrats, Melissa!
