OC Fair

Every summer Whitney's grandpa gets us into the OC fair for free, and we get VIP access to the rides, which are also free. Unfortunately it's pretty much waisted on us since we all puke after spinners, and I hate heights. However, I did manage to muster up my courage for the ferris wheel. Here's the before shot:

The McWhorter's enjoying the ride...I'm not sure how I was able to take the picture, since I was squeezing Taylor's leg and the handle bar while we sat suspended in mid air...

We love the McWhorter's, they are truly some of our dearest friends. :)

A fair post wouldn't be complete without a shot of some delicious fair food. This was a fried smore...mmmmmm.

What a weekend...

This weekend we got almost everyone (minus Sam) together to celebrate the September birthday boys. We went to Tinga for dinner, and it was amazing! Just to give you an idea, I had a black bean and goat cheese quesadilla, so yummy! Next time you're in LA, you have to try it!

Classic group shot, notice Trever...

Long story

Afterwards we went to see the Mystery Jets at the Troubadour. Great band, great show, great crowd.

Our carpool buddies...

Saturday Taylor and I watched Husdon for the first time. We had so much fun. I let him play with the hose outside, it wasn't long until he'd gotten himself drenched! Notice Bailey in the background, she stayed very close to him!

Sunday we went to Jared and Julie's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful, she was stunning! Congrats to the Dobbins!

Beach Trip!

This last Saturday ISI planned a beach trip for our International Students. We had great weather, great food, and good company! Thanks to all the host families who came!

The guys...

Me and sweet Lea... so glad to have all our Rwandans back here with us!

I am so grateful for my job, I get to work with amazing people from all around the world, and I especially love my sweet friends from Rwanda!
