Congrats Donya!!

I'd like to send a warm congratulations to my sister, who graduated from Chico State on Saturday! Donya I am so proud of you! I hope that the whole graduation process was one you will never forget, and that I maybe helped in making your party extra special. Congrats again. Love you!

Here are some pics from the weekend!

SUPRISE!!

Well my roommates and my parents conspired behind my back to throw me a surprise party for my birthday! Boy was I shocked! Brittany, Gina, Melissa, Andrea, Jeff, Brian and I all had a great dinner at BJ's. It served not only as a birthday dinner, but also one last time for us all to really hang out before the stress of finals! We had a blast, and really enjoyed the PAZOOKIE'S (If you haven't had one you have to try it)!! Here are some pics from the night.


The whole gang!






Boy was I surprised!!

Packing...ugh

Last night began my official packing of my dorm. Ugh...what a... lovely... experience. As you can tell I'm not exactly thrilled with the packing process. Boxes...emptiness...yuck.

And packing means saying goodbye to some really great friends I've made this year. Not saying goodbye forever, just goodbye for summer. And adios to some roommates who will now become good friends...great friends...for life.

I will be leaving CSUF for the summer on May 26th, Friday. And I will be returning to Chico! I go back to school on August 4, 2006 to report for duty.

For those of you who haven't heard I've been hired to be a resident advisor for the 2006-2007 school year. Its very exciting and I will be living with one of my current roommates again in my singles apartment.

Thats all for now.

Here are some pictures of my sadness...

19th Birthday!!

Hello again everyone!

Today is May 14th, 2006 (Mother's day, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM) the day after my 19th birthday! And what an amazing birthday it was!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive wonderful gifts from all of my family!

On Friday night Jeff took me to a very nice dinner at a restaurant in downtown Fullerton called Romana Cucina. It was a really nice night.

And midnight, the first minute of my birthday my roommates, a few friends, and Jeff presented me with their presents. They had made me three cakes and a pie!


[From left to right we have Andrew, Jeffery, Brittany, and Gina, and Brian below]

Jeff then handed me an envelope with two DISNEYLAND TICKETS inside!!



On Saturday we took our tickets and spent the entire day at Disneyland. Brittany, my roommate, works there and joined us for the second part of the day as well. It was such a blast. We rode all the rides we wanted, watched the parade, Fantasmic!, and the fireworks show! It was truly a birthday I will never forget.

Who could forget something like this?


At my favorite ride, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!


Brittany's sweet character host, she got to hang with Cinderella and Snow White all day!


Gotta love Tigger and Eeyore hoo hoo!


Cinderella and Prince Charming


Me with Snow White; I know you're jealous Donya!


Jeff and I taking a break.


Mickey in the parade!


The castle at sunset.


It truly was the happiest birthday on earth!

I have a few more pics on my flickr. Check them out.

PS. The countdown is on... I'll be home in 5 days for Donya's Grad and then in 13 days home for the summer!

Last Call with Carson Daly

On Thursday April 27th, a group of my friends and I went to the taping of Last Call with Carson Daly. We went for the specific purpose of seeing Ben Harper who was the musical guest for the show. Little did we know it was a special episode and Ben would be playing THREE songes instead of just ONE! We arrived early enough to sit in the first row of chairs on the balcony, and... when the music began we were moved to the FRONT ROW in front of the stage! We watched Ben Harper perform from a little over 5 FEET AWAY! It was a blast.
I was literally this close:

Here's Carson interviewing Ben:

And here's the whole crowd at the show. If you look on the floor to the far right of the stage you can see Jeff's head, I'm standing right in front of him but I'm too short to see!

The show airs on Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) after Conan so check it out!!
