To the "Western Europe plus Mexico" Posse :)

The picture below flashed across my computer today (I have a random pictures screensaver) and made me smile. These girls (plus the lovely Carrie Stallings who is, sadly, missing from this picture) are incredible and I miss them greatly. Some of us met at the Journeyman conference and then went through orientation together. Those 7 or 8 weeks were some of the hardest, most intense, most wonderful, most exciting, scariest, most fun weeks ever. We laughed together, cried together, made many trips to Chick-fil-a, Starbucks, Borders, Target and even to a tattoo parlor together. We played late night games of Taboo, Sardines and Mafia. We drank lots of coffee, were late to meetings, and played crazy games to stay awake during some of our classes. These girls mean the world to me, even though they are half a world away (they're all in Western Europe). This picture was taken the night before commissioning. It was absolutely FREEZING, but we figured a picture in the fountain was probably quite necessary (though I'm not so sure why!). Anyway, this one's for you girls. I love you (and the priceless looks on our faces!)!
