Homies


The students at Baxter are awesome!! They work really hard, and study a ton, but when they aren't studying, I love hanging out with them; sometimes I hang out with them even when they are studying! I feel like I have been friends with some of these guys forever...it took about one day to feel like I was a part of this place! That's one of the reasons it is so wonderful!! :)
On Tuesday and Friday nights all the students play soccer, and if there are gringos here they are allowed to play with them any other night of the week. The gringos always get smashed because the students are so stinkin' awesome at soccer!! :) There have been a few gringo teams who actually got pretty upset that they lost so much, which is really funny because the students don't play to win, they just love to play. I love them!!
This is my friend Siney! He's from Tegucigalpa, and just started at Baxter this year. We were goofing off last night, if you can't tell...it's loads of fun here!!

He's cute! I'm sure you expected that comment! I love the way the pictures are set up like a photo booth picture!

How can I put my picture by my post?

Love the last shot - I think you surprised him! Give us another look at your cute shorter hair.

BTW, Laura, you have to edit your profile on blogger then post a photo URL. Go to the help section at this address for more info: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42093&query=post%20profile%20photo&topic=&type=f (sorry it's such a long address; the comment section isn't link friendly.

Hey, Laura (sorry I'm using Libby's blog for correspondence, but...), I'm SO sorry we missed your wedding. We were out of town in the NJ/PA area for an extended visit (maybe Libby told you). I'm really looking forward to seeing your wedding pics. So when does your blog begin?
;)

Laura said...

Ashley--my blog will begin when I become more computer literate! Haha! For living in such a technological(spelling ?) age, I am a computer dummy! Libby had mentioned something about y'all being up there! I will seriously try to put some stuff up as soon as I get my pics!

Laura said...

Ashley--

Enjoy!

Laura, Thanks for telling me you had a blog when I called you! And I thought I had a ton of comments about my blog...turns out it is just an extended conversation between other people! HAHA! :)

Laura said...

Sorry about the extended conversation...I'm sure that is disappointing but how else will we communicate! Sorry!
