GGG fun

ferry ride into Seattle

lovely evening spent painting on the porch of the Rage Cage

our joint efforts

battle wounds from our adventure

Although the trip was cut short for the last minute Asia excursion, the few days I got to spend with these girls were unforgettable. Can't wait to be reunited once again. I LOVE Y'ALL! 

Lindsey's great find

GGG tramping circus part II

After many months apart, the GGG reunited in Seattle and gave a shot at another tramping adventure. An adventure indeed. 

sweet as bro!

what would our time together be without jumping photos?!

things even got a little weird

After a crazy night of thunderstorms (no we didn't bring a tent) and critters,

I woke up to this: 

 And this:

Lindsey and her critters... they just can't stay away. 

What a great trip!

Video to come.

30daysofawesome

Today marks the beginning of a month of awesomeness. Over the next 30 days, I pledge to do something awesome everyday.  I invite you to join in the fun!

five

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 

my cinco de drinko began circa 11:30 am with Marietta's favorite Viva Mexico following the infamous Kentucky Derby party thrown by the Hatcher's (that included us couple of girls surrounded by parents and didn't go without some debauchery on all accounts). 

cheers, ladies!

 Mexican brunch was followed by a lovely driving tour of Marietta - where so many stories have taken place and so many of my favorite people are from. We went from "this is where I had my first beer" to running through their high school halls to "this is where ____ got in a fight with ____." It was so nice to finally see the places I've always heard about!

all good except Dover couldn't fit in the car

 Then a drive back to Athens for some continued celebrations. Tlaloc: Athen's best Mexican joint. They had bands and raffles and we stuffed ourselves with delicious food and an array of hot sauces, and Chris even brought his own tequila. 

Chris brought us this fine bottle of fun

And what would any night be without some nail painting, Goonies, and a sleepover (with my roommate of course)!? 

I let the artist do her thing

Sunday Funday at its finest!

final countdown

Here's to the end of Junior year! 

To procrastinate finals just a bit, my last days included... 

Kappa's crawfish boil on the front lawn complete with a band and all you can eat Louisiana crawfish. Yum! 

Kappa's Field Party where my hot date was Bolling. (nobody believed us when we said we were gay... darn) 

proof to Mom that we're enjoying the bonfire

A blowout party in the lofts combined with Athen's traditional Twilight Bike Race through downtown ( One of my favorite events of the year). All in all, a fun and sleepless weekend to go out with a bang before finals. 

A trip or 2 home to find Nate's new studying patterns...

Then a holed up many days in the library myself. 

finance on finance on finance

A hair party with Kinman's flow. (Doesn't he look like Boo from Monsters Inc.?)

Some nice strangers brought Krispy Kreme donuts circa 1 am one night. 

And while I was in the middle of exams, clearly others were still livin large in downtown Athens. 

en route to a Friday morning presentation. classic. 

But now exams and junior year are over! Cheers to summer!

it's official

Well! New news: I'll be studying at University of Oxford this fall! Yep, as in England. 

so excited to call this "home" soon

to the races

While last year I was in NZ, the year before was this frat boy babysitting adventure to the Atlanta Steeplechase.  This year, had the privilege of going to the races again with the generosity of the LeBow's. It was a great day in the sun watching horsies and drinking (a lot).

and the Moonshine gets passed around...
