Dreaming of Maui (and friends)







Now that I'm in the final weeks of my program, I've been thinking back on how it felt to finish undergrad. I'll just say it: leaving undergrad was the end of an era that I still haven't quite gotten over. You see, I had the best college friends ever. I lived with 4 amazing girls for the last 2 years of college and my heart aches to think about it. The big house on Buchon with the porch swing and fountain, the green kitchen where we would talk for hours, "family dinners" and snuggle sessions, taking over the dance floor wherever we went, and the laughter, oh the laughter.

After graduation, we went to Maui for a week. This trip ranks among the most fun experiences I've ever had. We played in the waves, swam with turtles, had drinks and snacks every day at happy hour, sat in a hot tub under the stars, skinny dipped in the ocean (!), went to a luau, jumped off cliffs into pools, danced and sang to JT in our hotel room, and just loved each other as only best friends can. I miss these girls. Can we go back, please?

Oh, and one more thing...

By racing for Lifewater we raised $500 for people without access to safe water and sanitation. That's enough to provide 14 people with safe water for life. Woo hoo! Thank you thank you thank you to all who donated. I know who you are and my heart is big with thanks.

One billion people don't have safe water to drink, and 2.5 billion don't have a place to go to the bathroom. These are their faces.

It's not too late to donate: http://www.firstgiving.com/ldlange
