A few pictures for you!

This is Ibish, Matt, and Beni. Matt is from Oklahoma but comes to Ks at random times throughout the year. He will be helping with the University camp. Ibish is Kaylee's friend from years past, and he is a wonderful guy. She gave him a UGA hat, so now we have people sporting the red and black all over the world! Beni is Ibish's colleague who was there that day on the excursion trip as well.
Meet Drini. He has a scooter. He never speaks English to us even though he understands English and can speak a good bit of it too. He took Kaylee, Laura, and I on a ride around the city and I told him that my Dad has a motorcycle and all of a sudden he's speaking all sorts of English, asking about motorcycles and stuff. Figures! boys....... :)
This is Donjeta. She is so funny and sweet. She is one tough Albanian teacher!
Jessie... this picture is for you. I saw a pony while riding up to the place where we have camp, and thought of you. I still think ponies are really ugly, but if you like them, then I guess they're alright....
This is our dog, Mia. She is super cute and sweet, but it's sad because she doesn't have a yard to run around in now that we live in an apartment and not a house. We are trying to find her a place to live where she will be able to do more than bark at random people that pass by from our second story balcony. She's really smart and I love her! (especially because when I take her on a walk, the crowds of people part like Moses and the Red Sea because everyone here is terribly afraid of dogs! hahaha it is hilarious watching a guy who is trying to be all cocky all of a sudden jump away from us because we have a "cheni" (dog))
This is Arzana, another sweet girl. She has also given us some Albanian lessons!

Hi k.t.
Wow..bummer on the power issue.. I'll go easier on your updating..:) Did I see another red head in the background of Ibish pic??? Trent said that redheads are pretty rare in Ks.. Get good with that paintbrush because I am saving a room for you :)

I hope all is well for Eri's mom and entire family and I'm p'rying for them..

I love you mucho grande, madre!

ps-you make me hotter seeing your long sleeves.. I am running in a few minutes in probably 90 degree heat - just looked and weather.com says it should be 83 degrees in 3 minutes at 6:00 pm.. right!!! Not!! and only 52% humidity
