memorial day brunch

note: the pictures for the next three posts were all stolen from angela. :)

it's time to meet my friends.
disclaimer: this post sounded good in my head a few hours ago, but i got tired so comprehensive thoughts are eluding me right now.

this is rachel. she's eating a delicious scone made by nicole. rachel works as a nanny in wellesley taking care of three little girls.

this is angela (blond) and nicole (brunette). angela is from california and is currently working on her masters. nicole is from washington and will start her masters in biblical counseling in the fall in north carolina at southeastern.




she's so pretty!!



group shot graciously taken by angela's mom. not the best as we are looking directly into the sun. the joke is that whenever someone says "let's take a group pic" we all just get in a line. it is a good thing we don't have more friends or we wouldn't all fit.
me, ben, eduardo, nicole, angela, rachel, randall



eduardo is responsible for the next set of pictures. consequently, that just made me realize he doesn't have a cameo. eduardo goes to yale and is getting his masters in divinity. he also does some part time preaching at our church.

this is ben. ben works at starbucks and is going to plant a church.



this is me. you know me. i work for dell.





candid laugh from nicole.







randall does not promote shirtlessness. and, in case you were wondering, this is the appropriate shirtless distance apart for two men to be when conversing.






this is randall and rachel. they will be getting married in california on july 24th. randall currently works in the financial aid office at boston baptist college. eventually randall and rachel will move to pakistan and be missionaries.


God has provided me with such a great group of Christian friends.







memorial day church bbq

i love this face:
wanna race?


mal was being sweet and brought me a brownie then sat in my lap to eat it



these next two pictures are two of the best ever. hannah's face is priceless! whit kept stealing the ice out of hannah's cup, sucking on it, then spitting it out and putting it back in hannah's cup/




"oh, no, you didn't!!"





this picture is completely josh (pastor's youngest son). he is 100% all boy. rough, rowdy, and out of control (but sweet when he wants to be).






the sawyers (shown here with angela) are our small group leaders. i am incredibly blessed to have them in my life. they not only open their home to college and career kids every sunday, mrs. sawyer also cooks for us every week.




the sawyers and nicole





pastor, nicole, and kim (pastor's wife). once again, i am incredibly blessed. i have a pastor who is unashamed to boldly preach the Bible. not easy to find up here in boston.





angela and nicole:





nicole and eduardo












last small group bbq

this is one of my favorite pictures ever of nicole, angela, and rachel:



yes, i'm a picture ruiner:

this may be the only picture ever taken where noone is making a face:




oh, amber, how i love her, the one person who makes more faces than i do:
