Happy Birthday Carol!

This past weekend was so FUN! I had so much fun hanging out with Carol and celebrating her birthday with her. We had a huge BBQ for her on Saturday and Sunday we spent the day relaxing. Sometimes I wish I could just move there and live in her cute little house with HOLLY (aka her roommates dog who hates everyone who enters the house besides me which is probably because I'm the only one who doesn't like her)

We made these cupcakes for the BBQ I think I ate 4 of them...oops!


The second I saw this crazy piano I decided it needed a crazy piano player and guess who was going to fill that position...ME!!


Such a fun weekend! Next weekend is SLO

Santa Cruz here I come

In a little less than 36 hours I will be in Santa Cruz visiting one of my best friends for her birthday. I can't wait! Since we have been in college I have gone to visit her at least twice a year and I always have a blast YAY!
I love you Carol!

It's been awhile :)

So I have been at school for something like two and a half weeks now and it's funny how fast you fall back into the "school" routine. This is my first semester ever having class Monday through Friday. It's kind of rough but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am really enjoying my classes. I am taking three social work classes, Human Behavior in the Social Environment, Social Practice, and Social Policy all of which I feel I will learn a lot from. I am also taking STATS and Spanish 2 but those are less exciting. Everytime I question my decision to come to this school I am reminded of how great the social work program is here. We get a lot of one on one attention and our professors are amazing. I really love the program I am in.

Other than school, my life consists of playing/watching Amanda three days a week. She is really fun and I love watching her grow and learn things everyday!


The second weekend in March I got to go and watch my sister play soccer in Long Beach. It was the first time I got to see her since she left for college in the beginning of August. The game was pretty intense and a really good time! My Uncle Andy and Aunt Di came with their four kids so it was also nice to see them (along with my parents of course :).


This past weekend I went camping with six other people from school. We camped at Malibu State Park (I think). We had a really fun time playing games, music, and just getting to enjoy being outside. We spent Saturday at the beach which was really fun. the weather was beautiful!

Oh School...

I have been at school for about a week and a half now and the stress of school is taking over my life already :)
Today I came home from work and thought I had a really long time to catch up on reading until my class tonight. Somehow my STATS class completely slipped my mind and I remembered ten minutes before I had to leave. My "long afternoon of catch up" quickly became me very confused in STATS. Did I mention my books were supposed to come on the 5th and are still not here yet...Oh how I love school.

On a happier note. I love my roommates! We decided to choose a series to watch this semester when we had down time. The series we chose is Lost and let me tell you that show is both addictive and very intense. I'm not sure it is helping my stress level.

Here are my roommates and I watching Lost.


This is my roommate Mery. She is awesome!
