Girl's Weekend


Spending time with my best friends was so much fun! I love being with them! On Friday Kim had to work and so Marci, Cheryl and I got to hang out. And hang out is what we did all day since we could not find the pool key! When Kim got home, we cooked dinner and then went night swimming, it was fun! We found a beach ball and played with it and then we came home and watched the movie "Bobby". It is a pretty intense movie but it was good!


On Saturday we went to the pool all day and had lots of good snacks! Then we went home, took showers, and got ready for a night out to dinner! We went to a new place in Ladera Ranch called, Infusion. It was a great place to eat, the food was AWESOME!! The only negative thing was that the restaurant was very small. We went home to enjoy some chocolate fondu and Kim's movie of choice, "Banditas". You will have to ask her or Marci about that one! Kim was the only one to stay up and finish the movie! From what I hear, it is not that great! :)


Of course to end any good weekend, you must eat at In-n-Out! It is something us Californians may take for granted but Cheryl was ready to eat it! And so were the rest of us! We love In-n-Out!! It was a great weekend and we look forward to many many more together!!!

Kim's 29th Birthday


Kim's birthday was the start of a girls weekend! Cheryl surprised Kim and came in for the weekend, Marci had time off work because she just got back from DC, and I am home for the summer. We went to Kim's office on Thursday at lunch and surprised her with Cheryl and CPK! It was so great to see her face...she was truly surprised!


We ate lunch at Kim's office with some of her friends from work! Casey, Jackie, Marci, Cheryl, Kim, and me! It was so much fun! We love CPK and Lindamood-Bell!!


Make a wish! Kim loves Bandaras so we went there for dinner with her family!


The "younger" crowd at Kim's birthday! :) Parents were at another table. This was actually very sad but we all moved around and every once in a while Kim's Dad would just wave at us to make sure that we knew that he was still there! :) We had appetizers, dinner, and desert! It was so much fun!!

Visiting Cheryl and Casey in Texas



One of my best friends, Cheryl, and her husband, Casey, live in Texas. I got to visit them there! We had so much fun together! Just being together reminds me of what close friends are! It did not seem like I was gone for 10 months and we just picked up as though I has seen them last week. It was a great feeling! For the 4th of July we stayed at the Omni hotel and we watched the fireworks from our balcony window! We stayed on the 22nd floor! It was fantastic! I loved it so much!
We also went to Shakespeare in the Park and it was fantastic to see a play outside on a summers night! We had a picnic and it was great! I enjoyed just being there with them and enjoying Texas together! Check out the many more pics I have under the photo button on the right side!

Being Home




It has been fun to see people and spend time with people while being at home! he first picture is at Marissa's graduation party. I got to be with most of my basketball players there and that was a blast! The second pic is of me and one of the kids I tutored. I got to have lunch at In-n-Out Vincent! Him and his mom, Victoria, have become some close friends! The third picture is of me and my Grams! She spent the night with me in Seal Beach and it was so great! I love her so much!

Los Al Graduation




I flew in on Wednesday night late and went to Los Al graduation on Thursday! It was so great to surprise my students! I love them so much! Before I went to graduation, two of my favorite friends (Marci Gitles and Deanna Bratcher) and I went to CPK for my favorite salad and then we went and got pedicures! It was awesome to have a pedicure after not having one for 10 months! I will get a few more while I am home! :)

Leaving Thailand




Leaving Thailand was sad but knowing that I was coming back made it ok! A group of us went to the airport to check in. Yui left my ticket in the car and so I thought I lost it. It was a bit scary but it we went back to car and found it, so all was well! :) After check-in we went to Starbucks and we had lots of different flavors of frapuccinos! We shared them and it was a good time! I cried because I will miss my friends so much!
