I would like to consider this the longest vacation away from home of my life. Sure... it wasn't a boarding school or some study abroad program, but it gave me a memorable experience that I'll never forget. As I finish up my remaining requirements at the University of California Riverside, I can definitely say that it was one heck of a vacation. Of course there were responsibilities, heartbreaks, and struggles... but this is one vacation away from home that I can say was the best. I made a lot…

So our landscape program had its annual Spring Banquet this year at the Mission Inn in Riverside.  It was our final "hurrah" before finals week and one of the last times we'll be together as a big group before our trip this fall.  There were lots of fun times to be had...dancing, awards, socializing etc...I was slightly surprised when I won "Most Dramatic" of my class...I think everyone just appreciates my enthusiastic personality..lol.. The food was pretty good and I really enjoye…

Just needed a blog to put my random pictures of nights out or pretty things. Or Sunsets cause I love em...

   We started out going in a few circles, trying to find our way out of CA and into the desert. Stopped at the Riverside National Cemetery to visit some relatives. Through the desert and out by Palm Springs and all the wind turbines was very impressive and the heat increased with each passing mile.At least the sun was to our backs as we drove and luckily my air conditioning struggled through and has kept me cool each long day.There will be many more pics and stories on their way as …

I broke down on the freeway... on my way to my friends casa. It was no fun. It was hot and I was in the left lane, no one would let me over, so I was partially in the left lane and partially on the shoulder. I had to be pushed across the freeway by a tow truck... AFTER the CHP stopped all the traffic behind me. It was NOT ok!! Luckily that is all behind me now. Supposedly nothing is wrong with my car, so I ponder what the deal is! But, I finally made it to my friends casa, thanks to my …

After five plus weeks since school has been out, our team reunites on Wednesday the 6th of June 2007. Since we last met, my hair has been cut, Shae'Von's has been extended, and Matt's is still growing. (everyone else's hair is normal) Pizza dinner is in order as our shuttle is not coming till 7:50pm. The atmosphere is shimmering with excitment and nerves as friends who will be staying huddle to pray for us, as others languidly play their instruments, and some even put last minute details…

Mom went back in again.  This time more serious things developed.  I won't go into it but it was real scarey.  These were two of the roughest weeks I'd ever experienced in my life.  On the bright side...she's doing very well now.  I was fortunate enough to see my uncle again and meet his kids.  I didn't have my camera with me (kick myself) so I can't add any more shots.  After the day at the hospital, I left the camera at home or in the car.  The trip w…

A road trip throughout the Southwestern United States, visiting national parks and monuments.

after about a total of 8 hours of sleep spanning over 4 days due to our high school baccalaureate, grad night, graduation day, and our all night senior cruise, i was hopped up on a mix of exhaustion and excitement the day before my first trip to europe.  i had 12 hours to pack and no clue what i was bringing, but it didn't matter cause i was off to europe!   the art teacher at our school would take groups of kids on EF tours every summer right after school …
