A lovely wedding ceremony took place in a lovely Grapevine Park on a lovely April day. My dear friend Daphne got married and I was privileged to be part of the wedding.
Carolyn and I offered our services with floral arranging
The ringbearer pillow I made
It was also a great occasion for an ECHO reunion! So many from the 2004 generation made the trip and we had such a great time catching up, reminiscing about old times. It's so great to be with a group of people that, no matter how much time has passed, you can pick up where you left off without effort.
These cheesecakes were just as scrumptious as they look!
Daphne and I were also re-united with a Burkinabe friend. Zenebou has been in the US for a while, living with family in Chicago. She flew out for the wedding and shared her vocal talents with a song to bless the newlyweds.

Ethiopia buds
Had a great little reunion with my Ethiopia pals. Spent a couple days in San Diego with Naomi's bro, who had just returned from Iraq the day before! Went to Old Town San Diego, Balboa Park, and saw some seals being seals. Then came to LA and went to my favorite spots - Little Ethiopia and the Getty!
