trip to the states!

on sunday i returned to guadalajara after almost 3 weeks in the US. i had a great trip and was so blessed to get to spend time with family and friends. it was my first time to visit my family since they moved to Ohio last summer and it was fun to finally get to see their new house, town, church, etc. we also got to go to Virginia for a few days, so i was able to see lots of friends there. and to top it all off, my aunt and grandfather got to come up from Miami for a few days. when i flew back the other day, i had almost 4 hours in the dallas airport, so i played around with photoshop and a few of the pictures from my trip. here are the ones i edited a bit. i'll post more pictures from my trip soon!

we took plenty of silly sister self-portraits
of course, i had to stop by wawa while we were in stafford!
em and i drove out to the lake in stafford one afternoon
my "little" sister's high school graduation. hard to believe!
since emily and i really didn't know anyone at mal's graduation party, we entertained ourselves with the camera. :)
dad and i went to the shooting range one afternoon. so much fun!
i went to chick-fil-a the very first day i was in the states (and several days after that!). it was just as wonderful as i remembered!
