Happiness is..

Things and people and places that have made me happy this summer:


So Will is one of my best friends in the world. We met in Prague and have stayed close ever since. He now lives in Kenya, in a big fat farmhouse, working for an organization that runs a children's center and a farm, and they host a lot of work teams and groups that come to help (was I close, Will?) The other day I got to meet his girlfriend Kim. She's kind of an Oregon girl, graduated from George Fox and Portland State. Small world. She's headed back to Kenya (and Will) in 8 days, where she teaches 5th grade. It was so great to meet a girl that's so perfect for Will!


More of Africa! Seth and Trina are home for 1 month, all the way from Burundi, where Seth is a filmmaker and Trina works for the NGO World Relief. They are 2 of my favorite people and we are all obsessed with the 2-man group Storyhill who happened to be in town last weekend. Yay for perfect timing!


me, Tabitha, Jamie and Jenny at Bay 13 in the Pearl


All the way from Germany: Melissa!


Coffee with Liz and mom


Tucker and dad

Give me a hotel robe and I'm good for hours. Katie and I went up to Seattle to see the city and a friend from Prague, Kristin. We stayed downtown.. so fun!
