reunited

what a blessing the last two weeks have been!

to begin with, sarah came to louisiana for a visit.
















we met up down in new orleans and had some good eats!

after a day down south we headed up and spent some time in my new town.
















yep, we like to eat!

then after a week here, we flew up to virginia to meet up with lots of cool folks. that's where we met up with rachel. the three of us got to spend lots of time together reminiscing about the good times in niger.
















one afternoon we ventured down by the creek in the woods until...(it's a secret!)

and then one night melissa drove over to go to dinner with us. what a great reunion - the four of us altogether on this side of the ocean.
















sarah, me, melissa, and rachel after finally deciding on what to order - thanks to the help of our wonderful server!
