Sitting Waiting Wishing

for my parents to get here so I can begin to move all of my stuff and get back on the road to norcal for a week. It's kinda boring hanging out in an empty apartment all by myself. Maybe I'll venture down to the boys house and see what they're up to one last time. 

I packed all my hoodies and its raining. Way to go me.

is NO longer...

Unemployed! I got the job at Visual Photography here in San Diego County and will start working there later this June. (For those of you non-bloggers, if you click on the link you can view their website.) 

I am so happy and excited to stay in San Diego. I got a little worried and unsure about what to do and where to go, but after a lot of praying and networking with all of my Brooks connections, it all came together in just about the 11th hour. 

For now, I will spend the weekend packing and visiting with my parents and brothers who will arrive in SD on Saturday. I may go home for a week or two to do some photography jobs up there and spend some time with friends and family before moving into my cousins house in SD and starting my new job. 

This summer is going to be fabulous and I can't wait for it to begin. I'll spend it in a new town, with new people, and a new job. Cheers to new beginnings and the world of opportunity.

Stoked!

for my interview tomorrow with a portrait studio in SD! It couldn't have come at any better time since I am deciding whether or not to stay in SD or move back to Pville this weekend... 

Let's hope I'll be staying down here. 

Cheers to me and my great connections from Brooks.

Get a glimpse for yourself...

One of my FAVORITES...

is coming to visit in a few hours and staying til Monday!!!

It is going to be a fabulous weekend.

So far on the itinerary we've got:

The beach.
A free fashion show at a pool party in downtown with free drinks and good looking people. (At least we hope so)
Photos.
Good food.
And possibly my last weekend in SD for the next few months.

I'll leave you with these until we post up some new ones from the 3 day weekend...

And remember: 

Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.

Pros & Cons of Norcal

I am trying to figure out what to do with my life and where to go from here. I have one more week in my socal apartment until my family comes down to move my stuff and celebrate my little brother's 16th birthday.

I have several options but the two I'm considering the most are staying in SD or moving home with the family to the little tiny town of PLACERVILLE.

For those of you who don't know, Placerville is a small town located off highway 50 right between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. There's tons of trees, a few coffee shops, and a handful of legit people. 

So here it goes. We'll start with the PROS...

* Let's state the obvious, FREE rent and food

* Family Time

* A breath of fresh mountain air

* No more city water. Fresh Tap Water all year long

* My best friend Kell will be there (when she's not in school from 5-10 P.M. every weeknight)

* Carrie, Matthew, Aaron, and a few others are still around to occupy my time when I'm not at work

* A sense of community. I'm kind of a big deal up there. At least with the moms

* Hot weather, the lakes, and my pool all summer long

* Birthday celebrations!

* Grandparents and cousins are sure to come around

* A few photo jobs here and there

* Old job connections...

And now for the CONS...

* No beach

* Won't have my own place

* RULES? Probably.

* Not as many friends

* Hot Hot Hot

* Going back to my hometown = blast from the past. I'm sure I'd run into it somewhere.

* Maybe having to settle for a full time non photo job

* Spending almost every day wishing I was back down here

* Having to move everything back down here in 4 months

* Not seeing cousins and family from Colorado as much

* Boringness

* Going back to DIAL UP internet

I think I'll try and stay...

If not, I'll be back in about 4 months. 

Watch out San Diego.
