Hello again!

Hi everyone!! I'm sure hardly anyone checks this thing anymore since it's been on a 7 month hiatus. Life has thrown me some curves in the past few months and I've just been adjusting to life on my own. I'm in my 3rd week of a 21 month accelerated Bachelors of Science, Nursing- RN degree program at Cal State Bakersfield. Since it's an accelerated program the workload is pretty intense!! I'm just thankful that I got accepted and that I will have something to keep me occupied for the next two years!! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and hopefully I will have some fun pics to upload soon!!

Weekend getaway!!

Beautiful California Poppies

A gorgeous place to play disc golf with my sister and my cousins

Anya got a new camera for her birthday so the whole day was pretty much a photo shoot..lol

Avila Beach, my home away from home,

when I am here all my worries are swept away by the sound of the waves!

Woohoo! So excited to be here!
