Well things have been good, but rough lately. I seem to be constantly exhausted and cannot seem to find the energy to feel normal and sane. Perhaps the schedule I have had for the last year and a half is taking its toll? My schedule is hectic. I have school, work or both every day of every week and it tiring. Three jobs and going to school full time is just too much anymore, and I think there has to be another way...

On the brighter side of things I am waiting to hear back from all my colleges still. CSU Fullerton, Long Beach, SDSU, and UCSD. I have also applied to Chapman, but am a bit behind in finishing what I need to apply there. I am trying to get some letters of recommendation together and also I need to send my transcripts there still...

I have booked another wedding that will happen on May 15th which I am really excited for. :)

Last week I went snowboarding to try to lift my spirits. I left right after my morning class and came right home and got ready to go straight to work. It was a tight squeeze, but I made it work. I had so much fun on the slopes, but on the way home I felt exhausted and at work I felt beat.

Here is a photo from the tour of the USS Midway I took with Sirrene about 6 weeks ago or so...

Going through some old photos, I came cross this one which I took while on a cruise to Ensenada. This was taken from my window when I awoke in the morning...

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Labor day weekend.

(Sorry about the links getting in the way, its either smaller photos or dealing with the text. Unless someone knows how to reformat the blog page better than I do??)




Hope everyone has a great day!

Despite going back to school last week was pretty good. Wednesday I spent the day at the beach in La Jolla kayaking, snorkeling and working on my sunburn. I knew I should have put sunscreen on. Luckily its not too bad and I am not suffering anymore until I get diagnosed with skin cancer in 15 years from now. The water was so warm, and was crystal clear too. Seals, tiger sharks, and lots of fish to be seen. The new position at work makes time fly by when I'm working so that's good too. :) I am working on trying to get my fall photography stuff going too so as always, Im keepin busy! Anyway, I wish I had something more to write, but this is all I want to have publicly known I suppose. Here are a couple pics from La Jolla last week.

Well a couple of days ago I babysat my nieces and my nephew. We always have fun as they are definitely a unique fun loving bunch! My nephew is really into computer games and Wii but I was able to tear him away for a lil bit so we could all go to the park. I decided that I should bring the camera since I havn't been able to shoot much lately. Anyhow here are some shots...

I had a blast! It was so much fun and the sights were incredible. Anyhow, I'm not that great at writing, so I'll try and let the photos say what I can't. P.S. I haven't cropped the photos so a lot of them are probably tilted and a little out of whack.
























Below is the pass where I thought I was going to fall 12,300 feet to my death... I know it doesn't look bad (the incline was roughly 75-80 degrees), but any seasoned rock climber will tell you, you don't know how bad the incline is until you rub noses with it and go cheek to cheek. The trail was impassable so we were forced to climb the last 100 vertical feet or so...











Wow, that's a lot of photos so if your not on a decent high speed line then I probably just froze your computer. Sorry, I hope you saved your work. :)
