Feeling Dance-y

It’s a muggy, rainy day here in Atlanta and it’s been a while since I’ve been home to see my parents. So I thought I’d share some colorful fun pics of my mom and ba (grandma) enjoying Navratri a few years ago. They’re pretty cool chics!

Navratri is a nine day celebration in the Hindu religion that includes lots of dancing and celebration held during September/October in accordance to the lunar calendar. This particular year my grandparents had finally visited American for the first time so it was especially exciting. Excuse the sweat-soaked nature, there was a lot of dancing involved with hundreds of people at the temple 🙂

Amalienborg Castle

But this is not just another domed old building, this is one of the official  residences for the royal family of Denmark, notably the winter residence. NBD, just another castle. Except this is on the harbor, overlooking the hundreds of ships going in and out on a regular basis, and it has an incredible history.

 

Six Month Graduation Anniversary

I’m just realizing that it’s been over 6 months since I graduated college…wow time flies when you’re dealing with grad school…

But this post is about more than my patting myself of my back for my stupendous achievement. This was all possible because of my parents. Throughout the whole process that was college, my parents were always there to help me (be it crazy roommates, impossible professors, or getting that awesome internship). We don’t always see eye to eye and that can be hard. But they are my parents and they’ve done the best they could to raise a daughter in a land they don’t understand and hope for the best.

Botanical Gardens During the Holidays

Lots of colors!
Lots of colors!

I love the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and have wonderful memories from each of my visits there! These are from my last time, over the holidays in December as we attempted not to be totally stressed out by finals…

Wedding time for Dave and Karen

So I’ve officially shot my first wedding (and hopefully not my last) and I finally have post-able proof!.

Dave and Karen had a beautiful lakeside wedding at the beginning of May. It was full of laughter and bunny ears. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves 🙂

It’s always nice to go on adventures! Especially when they follow long and arduous semesters of college. I decided to take my camera with me on a trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens with friends. There are just a few of my favorite pictures.
