epic-ness

so a dear friend made this amazing card/book that needs to be shared! the pictures of the inside of the card/book didn't turn out very well, so i will bless you with the content this way...

(all pictures are from our 2008 Russia trip)

"That is so wonderful, what an adventure! Can't wait to hear all about it. I support you in this.

(Yulia & I with our "supportive faces")

Yeah, we support you even though this may be how we really feel:

She says it best:

What shall I do hwile you are gone? I've started a list:

1. Write you letters

2. Make a shrine above my bed of you guys

3. Practive dressing up like Japanese anime characters

4. Go to Kroger

5. Hang more stars in my bathroom

6. Pet Deacon... oh wait...

7. Walk around my room naked drinking milk out of your wine glasses

(I should probably stop, this list might make you change your mind)

Well, I guess it's only 9 months... give or take. Then (hopefully) you'll be back! (Phew!)

But be prepared! When I visit, I will greet you like this:

copyright 2011 bite me card co.

thank you for making the next 2 weeks of my life complete with this!!

my birthday balloon

amy gave me this balloon on my birthday last august and it is still alive...

(someone may be getting this for her 24th birthday, it's almost like the traveling pants but better!)

and this past week, we revisited the russian camp classic- cheesy ramen!

(clarification- we make this while in russia hence why we call it "russian," the term is used loosely!)

weddings cont'd

Summer wedding #3:  one of Jarrod's roommates got married 2 weeks ago; congratulations to Will & Liz Mott! They had a photo-booth at the reception which was such a fun idea, complete with props...

and a normal one...

tonight we attend our last wedding for the foreseeable future, we have really enjoyed getting to see a large group of our friends almost every weekend!

the duncans!

dan and allison are married! and i had the privilege of being a part of their special day! 

the bridesmaid's luncheon

rehearsal dinner, love them!

in the words of kylie swyden, "i'm glad i like all your bridesmaids!"

p.s. sarah and i discovered we have freakishly parallel lives!

(sarah c and katie k)

she's basically a model! beautiful!

so thankful to have such wonderful and encouraging friends!

(thanks sarah s for the borrowed pictures!)

'tis the season...

summer wedding #1: james and courtney corbin

most of our table at the reception!

lindsay and i had a great time hanging out while the boys did their pre-wedding activities

these are some of the cute thing we brought home! (and when they ran out of the reception everyone was waving either an alabama or an auburn pompom)

...and we have 3 more weddings to go in the next 4 weeks!

tshirts

47 days until we leave for Russia!

As part of our fundraising, we made t-shirts that say "I am loved" (which is the theme for the second half of our trip!) and 1 John 3:1, "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God" in Russian.

We are selling them for $20, which pays for your  t-shirt and one shirt for an orphan!

These is an event on facebook where you can let us know if you'd like one and the size/sizes you need! Click HERE to see the facebook page! If facebook isn’t your thing, but you would like a t-shirt you can just send me an email (khzurcher@gmail.com).

Thanks!

 (And sorry for the duplicate post if you read our other blog!)
