Random End-of-the-Quarter Photos part 1

Spring quarter is officially over, which means, that I have officially survived my first year of seminary!! It has been an insane year, full of transitions, new friendships, lots of reading, Greek, church-shopping, amazing conversations, some So Cal fun, and a LOT of growing. No wonder I am feeling exhausted! I have had this past week off, and start summer classes on Monday, but this week was not the most relaxing as I moved as soon as finals were finished, but I am now settled in my new place, and have about 48 hours of freedom left before classes resume. I have several random photos from various moments these past couple months that don't really fit into any specific category, so I thought I'd post them for your viewing pleasure (in a very random and no particular order...) and maybe one day in the near future I will have more energy and creativity to post something reflective and meaningful...stay tuned...! Here comes the bride....wedding dress shopping for Megan over Easter weekend...Sophie & I have a new fascination with butterflies thanks to our time at Cursillo in Houston, so she has been on the look out for butterfly clothing we can wear when we return to Cursillo as staff members some day...yay for random obsessions!Enjoying dinner at Islands...Sarah, Bob, Reese, Sophie (and Kernie!)Dr. Ron Kernaghan, Denise, and Dr. Doug Nason decked out in their academic regalia before baccalaureatte (I think that's what they were dressed up for). These are 2 of our wonderful Presbyterian faculty members who continually serve our Presby students in many ways...and apparently Doug was hungry...good thing Denise keeps food around the office!So we went down to Santa Monica last week for dinner, and Alan and Reese decided to tell the waiter it was Becca's birthday (it wasn't...) but they brought her dessert and made her stand on her chair while she danced to the birthday song the Bubba Gump staff sung her...it was quite entertaining...here she is with Kernie who is sporting Reese's new hat...

I'm not sure where I got this photo--I think Lynn's myspace profile? But I love this picture because it has my wonderful Seattle friends (Lynn, Jen, Karen, Heather, and Darbee) all looking amazing as they're headed to see Les Mis...we'll see if any of them check my blog and see this....but if you do see it know that I miss you all & will see you in August!
