Last first day of school

Hello everybody! This is me getting in my car for that last first day of school. After all that had happened with my schedule, I had my classes and they were fun. I think that I am going to like them. However, today I had a little moment. I wrote down the wrong time for my class today and showed up an hour late for class, just as they were getting out. What a way to start off the year, huh? Luckily the teacher was cool about it.
Last night was the "Welcome Back Party" for our department, we had pizza as usual but we did something a little different this year for the activity. This year we rented Lazar Tag guns and had games in the hallway of our department. At first when I found out about it, I thought it was going to be lame. But earlier this week when we got them and were testing them out, I thought, "Ok this isn't as lame as I thought it would be. This is actually fun."
I still have one more first class period for Monday, tennis. This is the class that I'm so excited about and can't wait for. I haven't had a lesson in 18 years, and with just getting back into playing I'm stoked.

Talk to you soon!

School

Hello all! School starts for me tomorrow. I thought that I had had my schedule all done and everything would be fine. But this morning I found out that I had two classes over lapping and had to redo my entire schedule for this semester and next semester, so that I would still be able to graduate on time. So now I have an 8am class tomorrow, grr! Anywho, hope all of you are well.

Talk to you soon!

Vacation Pictures and Apple Harvest

Hey everyone! I finally had some time to find some vacation photos to share with you all. This is me and the family on the beach near our condos.

This is our condo, it is a four story condo with the Kitchen and Living room on the top floor. The middle two floors have the bedrooms, four bedrooms and four baths. My sister's room was the middle window.
He is the backside of our condo. The Living room balcony is the top one, the screened-in balcony is my parents room, and the bottom balcony is my room.
We were walking on the beach one night and saw this big something up on the beach. As we got closer, we realized that it was part of the bottom of a boat. So I had to get a couple shots of it, because it looked cool with the tide coming in.
This dog was the softest stuffed animal that I have ever felt. It was flat so it could lay on your bed or over your arm, basically anything. I almost bought it, but it was $40. And what is a grown guy going to do with a stuffed animal?
This is my favorite little furniture and house wares store. This store does not have furniture you can get just anywhere. I fell in love with this store when I was 15 years old, and any time we go on vacation down this way, I always have to stop.

This chair I found in "Blue" when I was 15, and I think this is the reason that I love the store, ok maybe not the only reason. But this chair is the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in.This is a little store called "Persnickety". It is called the "Shop of shops" because in side the store is partitioned off into little "booth" type areas, where small local businesses can rent space and sell their products. One of the owners has her own space, she is graphic designer that is Awesome!
Back home it is Apple picking time. In 13 years we have only had four apples from our two apple trees. This year one of our trees was loaded and our other one had four. Well those four were found by the birds, as were a good amout from our full tree, but I was able to pick just over a bushel of apples from our tree this morning. It was a lot of fun.
I had to get a picture of these apples! When I picked them this morning I was surprised to realize that they have one stem. I think they look like they are kissing.
Well all, I have to get to bed for an early day tomorrow. But I just wanted to share with you a little of our vacation and show you my farmer skills. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Talk to you soon!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Hey all! Sorry it has seemed like I have not been around. Last week I was on vaca with the family, and I will post pics from it soon I promise. After getting back on Sunday, I jumped into work on a freelance design project I have been working on. Then Monday I started back at my internship, and at night of course the Olympics! I will get them up soon, but I did have to stop by and wish my friend Jeremy a Happy Birthday.

Prayer Request

Hey everyone!
I have been processing this for about a week now and really have not shared this with many people. I would like for you to pray for my family, especially for my mothers Aunt Fresia. Aunt Fresia was just told that her lung cancer has come back aggressively in both lungs. The first doctor told her that she had six months to a year to live. But after seeing a second doctor to get another opinion, she found out that it was more aggressive than the first doctor led onto. He gave her three months. My prayer, as well as the rest of the family, is that she will not suffer. This little lady is from Chili and has only been able to go back home once since she married my mother's Uncle Billy. You will never meet a more positive person. Through this her attitude has not changed.
Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you all so much.

Talk to you soon!

Old Friends

Hey everybody! I would like to introduce you to one of my best best friends from academy days. This is Amber, she came up to see her parents this week and came by to see me as well. Some friendships, and people, never change. This is one person that I get around and no matter how long we have been apart, we can pick up right where we left off. I have always said that there are four people in this world who girls have to get approved by to date me. My mother, my dad, my sister and of course Amber. I miss you buddy, and want you to move back! Good luck with school this year.

Talk to you soon!

Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Hey everyone! Yesterday was one of my best friends, Lindsey Gaspard's, birthday. It was really nice, just a bunch of us, including her parents who flew down from New England and her sister who drove up from Atlanta, GA, went to a restaurant near our school called 'Rain'. The food was amazing, I ordered the Yellow Curry, its a Thai food place. After wards, Jeremy, Lindsey's boyfriend, "had to go get gas in his car" but that was an excuse for several of us to go back to Lindsey's place and blow up balloons. (Never get three guys blowing up balloons.) It was a total surprise when she came back and she saw the lights go off in her place from outside, then to walk in and have the floor covered in balloons.Lindsey got what she's been wanting from her sister Amanda. We watched it after she opened up all her gifts and modeled the clothes that she also was given. Grace, your's was so beautiful.
Here is the gang, minus Britni who had a Documentary to catch and Ru who had to go home and study for her summer class. Hope you had a Happy Happy Birthday Lindsey! Now you are as old as me!

Talk to you soon!
