Another Wedding

Another one of my good friends got married this past Saturday. I took her pictures

What I Do Instead of Writing a Paper

My sister-in-law had a meeting for work so Koula was with me, I should have been writing a paper but instead I gave her bagels and some chocolate milk. She never really gets sugar so she was a little hyper, the rest is a result of my procrastination and her sugar high.

Best Friend's Wedding

Megan and I on her wedding day. We have been friends for about 12 years now. We have had our share of fights and a falling out, but there is no changing our friendship. She has been there for me through the toughest times of my life and I was more than happy to drive 10 hours for her big day, it was well worth it!

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Megan and I senior year

The all girls cruise

We all wore the same shirt on the same night. I figured it has been 3 years sense we've dated and it's safe to post the picture, it's a blast from the past!

Snow College Denny's run!!! They got me to do sugar shots, I think I did about 98... you can tell we were a little wired!

Labor Day Weekend With the Fam

My nephew got baptized over Labor Day weekend and my whole family got together. These are just a few of the pictures that we got.  My 3 brothers and brother in law all decided to sign up to do pig wrestling on saturday night.  It was all they could talk about when they got here. They were seriously planning it all out; how to grab the pig, where to run, what to do when you got ahold of the pig.  The only rules were you have 60 seconds and if you hurt the pig you owe $300, that was it.  They were a little nervous but got the pig into the barrel in 13.19 seconds. The fastest time! They took first and talked about their victory all weekend! this was the best shot of their victory, their faces say it all!

Some of the fam took a hike to a waterfall

All 12 of my nieces and nephews and there are 2 more on the way!

We tried to get a decent family picture, if you know my family it never happens! I (and some others) thought this was the funny face one, but as you can tell not everyone is making a funny face. But this picture is one of the better pictures!

Just Some Summer Fun

Kersa, Ethiopia

The home team, Kersa, won. This is them getting their cup.  Then they chanted and ran out of the stadium and down the street stopping traffic and wanting you to put money in their cup.

These were just some kids at the awards ceremony

Kersa when the game was over

Kersa right after the game ended.  They were so happy!

This was the start of the game, this was the opposing team Turge.

While we were in Kersa they had their championship soccer game and I think about 2000 people showed up.  Their were people everywhere, this is one of the kids who had climbed a tree to watch the game. He had an amazing view of the whole field!

This little girl was effected by a flood in the town we stayed in. We went and handed out clothes to the little kids.

This little girl was effected as well, she brought her little siblings along with her.

This was a lady who was nursing while waiting to get clothes for the rest of her family, this is one of my favorite pictures.

This kid had a soccer injury about 4 years ago and never took care of it and it got infected and he now had gangrene .

This lady had a seizure and fell into her cooking fire about a week before we got there. She came to the clinic and they told her family to take her to the hospital, but they didn't; they waited the week until the doctors came on the expedition with us.

This is just a random girl from the village, i just thought she was very pretty.

This is just an old lady from the village, she just looks like she has lived through a lot and has a ton of stories to tell.

Just a random little boy who was following his older brother with their cattle.

This boy (the white one) is 22 and is living in Addis and is starting a home for boys to keep them off the streets. He's really a nice guy and the boys just love him.
