festival of colors!

Last night I went to the festival of colors! It was the most fun I have had in a long time! It's this Hindu festival celebrating variety or something (I really don't know) but you have a bag of chalk and just throw it in people's faces! So fun and messy!

It was so foggy from all the chalk throwing you seriously can't see anything!

They have chalk throws at certain times of the day, and this is what it looks like from afar! But of course I was in the middle of it :) When it happens you feel like you are in a gas chamber! You can't breathe at all or see anything and it burns your throat! But so fun nonetheless!

We were walking on our way there and people coming back from the previous chalk throw would just chuck chalk in your face and I got it in the mouth!

My two best friends :) We're going to miss Ky My when he leaves!! (Shannon is the one that is going to be my roommate next fall!)

whaaat?

Dear world,
If you can't get ahold of me for the next week. Don't worry, I'm just reading!
Sincerely,
The girl who doesn't read

Looks like she's learned from the best! That's my girl :)

inspiration!

As I sat bored on Pinterest the other night, I came across this blog. I started reading it and I seriously have not stopped since. It is incredible. All her posts are quite lengthy, but if you have the time, I encourage you to read it. I feel like a new person reading it. This girl is from Tennessee. She is 22 and lives in Uganda with her 13 adopted daughters! She is seriously incredible. I bought her book last night and I cannot wait for it to come in the mail this week! I already know it's going to be awesome, so when I'm done you can all borrow it :)

On a related note, I have totally been inspired. I've always dreamed of going to an orphanage in Africa and I am determined to make it happen. Nothing is going to stop me. I have started researching different organizations to go through- I only want the best! So if any of you hear of anything great out there, let me know! This is serious. It's time for me to live my dream!
