Ok y'all- Since I have lots of fun pictures that I am a "tad" behind at sharing with you ;)
I'm going to do a series of REWIND and RECENT posts for you.
Sound good?
I thought you would agree!
Well back in December, we traveled back to our language city... AKA our first "home" in South Asia.
The fun part about it was that we were actually able to stay in the very first flat that we lived in with some friends who are currently studying language there.
Fun, huh?
We LOVED seeing these snow capped mountains once again, just days before Christmas :)
So good for the soul!
Lots of familiar sights of our "every day" life just one year ago from when we visited :)
Neighborhood rooftops, Green trees, and lovely mountains!
The same corner we would often get an auto rickshaw to get around~ this time with a little more ease now that we have a years worth of Hindi practice under our belt :)
Some of my favorite ladies (all sisters):
Far left- one of my language teachers
To the right of me- my first house helper who taught me so many yummy South Asian recipes, and also enjoyed laughing w. me in the kitchen!
Far right- their sister from a neighboring city who was in visiting for the weekend!
Wedding #1-
Some other friends of ours also returned for the wedding of our second house helper, Meena!
(she was their previous house helper as well)
As many things happen to go in South Asia...
The wedding was scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM, but this show did not actually get started until
(eh hem...) 2:30 ;)
Reason being- the GROOM was on the train coming for the wedding and got hung up by fog.
Silly boy, who comes on the DAY OF your wedding? haha.
Oh well- we had lots of fun in the meantime:
Playing with old friends:
Snapping some fun Family pictures ;)
(What? You sure cannot stop this boy from being a BOY and having a ball with a bunch of rocks)
Finally, we took our seats for the wedding- smiling and ready!
You know we don't go anywhere without a SNACK:
It was a lovely wedding and my friend made a BEAUTIFUL Bride:
(Craig may have LOVED that her Father marched her down the aisle with a flannel on!!! )
Our little boy was quite tuckered out from all that pre-wedding running around & crashed before it was all said and done.
The Bride & Groom:
In the middle is the bride for wedding #2:
And the groom for wedding #2:
(Like I said about Levi... boys will be boys?!?!?)
Some folks were a little confused at who was the star of the day- YIKES!!!
I think Levi had more pictures taken that day than the bride & groom...
Blond hair, blue eyed little white boys just don't go "unnoticed" in South Asia.
Another new friend- she was actually the little girl whose house we stayed in for our second 3 months in this city.
Then back to racing around the field with ALL the kiddos:
At the reception, you were guaranteed to find Levi with one of these two little fellows.
They were great "big brothers" watching after him :)
A very typical South Asian wedding photo-
meaning: it seems the bride and groom forgot to SMILE!!!
haha- ok they probably didn't smile on purpose... traditions are hard to break, right?
But don't you worry- they are quite a delightful and HAPPY couple.
Love this girl and am so excited for what the Lord has in store for her and her new husband!!!!
