Big news. BIIIG news.
Okay, so I've been threatened by my sisters have promised to write the story.
I'm going to jump to the punch line and work backward.
I am ENGAGED to a boy named Joseph William Wade!!!
4 months {(In)dia}
I'm working for HELP International as a Country Director in Hyderabad, India from May-August 2010.
Please watch!
This is a project our team helped write a grant for. WE NEED HELP!
1. Please donate $1
2. Please spread the word!
Shoes!
I love these shoes! Amber started by being the queen of buying, buying 8 pair. I bought 4 and justified it in my head saying I'll probably give at least 1 pair away. Then I went and replaced all my sandals later for $3 each so definitely ended up buying more than 8 pairs of shoes by the end of the trip...I'm queen of rationalization so, I left two broken pairs of sandals and my three year old gymshoes behind to justify the purchases.
The photo taking phenomenon
Frequently while traveling I look up and see situations like these. A group of 1-3 guys taking pictures of me or who I'm with on their phones. Although a little weird, it makes me a lot more justified to take pictures of them ("them" = people I see in India, I pretty much never want to take pictures of people that take pictures of me).
Mata Temple- Amritsar
this is a temple of fertility. It's located in the middle of Amritsar and is set up like a maze. You walk past a lot of fallic looking sculptures and then a room of mirrors, past a few hundred statues, and then through a womb looking stream and into the main hall.
Amber, Natalie, and I have a competition to first with triplets (if you get it then you get to have all of the three matching blankets we bought). I felt like I connected the most with the temple. Come on triplets!
DC reunions
We met up with 11 DC-ers in Delhi as we all overlapped one night before Amber, Natalie, and I headed north. It was fun to catch up for a few hours even if it was 2am.
