Susan B. Komen Cancer walk.





The Chocolate covered Strawberries Emily and I did for the "Everthing Pink Bakesale." This bakesale was to raise money for the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer walk. I thought they turned out cute.

Just a glimpse of beautiful Newport Beach

Carissa's first take off. She wasn't as freaked out as I thought she would be. When it was Beth's (my other little sister's) first take off, she was praying. Totally hilarious. We still tease her about it. unfortunately we didn't catch it on camera.


ME and the baby sis on her first plane ride
Frankie and Brandon Part of New Movement. Can't wait till their record comes out!



Me, Frankie, and Carissa.

We haven't seen him in four years.
So good to see old friends :)

Weekend Trip to LA


So LA was absolutely amazing. We actually only were there for like 36 hours, but we made everyone count. I think we are going to be going back in couple of weeks because we didn't get to do as much as we wanted.
I was so bummed out because we were like 10 minutes from the garment district and we didn't get to go. I have never been there before and have always wanted to go....sigh.... so close yet so far.
LOVE,LOVE, LOVE Newport and Huntington Beach. Absolutely beautiful and a must visit if you have never been. Got to see some old friends that I haven't seen in years had so much fun! Can't wait to go back!
Caught a vid of my sister during take off. Sadly she wasn't as freaked out as I thought she was going to be ;)

New Adventures

So excited!!! Just started this week my Phlebotomy class. Thought I would be a little freaked out but so far so good. Tuesday we started out practicing with tourniquets and feeling each others veins, which might I say is really weird, kinda gross, but mostly cool; especially when you are feeling your own.
Wednesday and Today we practiced drawing blood on fake arms. First time I didn't hit the vein, but second and third time I did. I would probably be going live on a real person tomorrow but I am not going to school so mostly likely it will be Monday. So pretty much my first patient has a 60% chance that I will hit their vein. Comforting I know. Well I'm SUPER excited!
Tomorrow I am leaving to go to LA for the weekend. yeah! Who knows what adventures it will bring!
By the way this is Carissa's (my baby sister's) first plane ride ever and she is almost 21. Side note: She is terified of heights and roller coasters. muhahaha.
I'm thinking about video taping this. :D If we hit turbulance I might even say we are going down and to say her prayers. This is going to be fun! I am getting excited about the plane ride just writing this.
