Brooklyn and BAM

Pietro's college roommate Josphat (who is from Kenya) took us to an African culture festival in Brooklyn a few weeks ago and I realized I never posted about it with everything that's been going on.  We were supposed to see an African Dance performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) but it ended up being sold out so instead we just walked around the festival enjoying the culture and music and sights.  We got some delicious food (my lunch was a fried plantain stuffed with shredded fish and chicken, sounds weird but it was SO GOOD) and I found a lady who sold AMAZING south african rooibos tea.  It was a very relaxing and interesting day so I thought I'd share some of the photos I took (cell phone quality only, my DSLR hasn't been getting enough air lately I should fix that...)

Graduations Galore

It's been awhile since the last post because I have been running around to so many graduations lately! My fiancee Pietro graduated from Princeton University a week and a half ago and My darling little brother graduated from high school last weekend! It involved a lot of travel time, family time, and party time and it was all so much fun.  I loved getting to see my family that I haven't seen in 2 years and I got to fill everyone in on wedding planning.  Most of my readers were there so I will let the pictures say the rest :)

Look at my cute hubby to be :)

Steve Carell was the Graduation Speaker at Princeton which was pretty cool

Then my baby brother graduated! (I can't say little brother because he's obviously twice my size)

I <3 my family!

Then we threw a graduation party for both Pietro and Christian

Pietro's Star Wars themed Princeton colored cupcakes

Pietro's dad and I turned them into fashion

Obviously I enjoyed the cupcakes a lot
