Classes!

Classes started today!!! It was very nice to get back into the flow of things again =) I have a lot of projects this semester, but I'm getting started on them now so that I don't stress myself out later in the semester (a very common habit of mine...). Anyway, things are going good out in southern Cali (the rain stopped too). Hope all are well!

It's Raining....

It's raining, it's pouring, the creatures are falling.... lol



It is raining out here in Lancaster and I am loving it! It doesn't happen very often so I am enduring the wet look while it lasts! (Don't worry - I've only tried slipping 2 or 3 times =) The shoes I'm wearing are pretty slick on the bottom!)

Have a great day everyone!

Funnies

Okay, so I'm going through my H drive on the school computers and coming up with a ton of stuff that I had saved and never posted, although I intended to. Hope you enjoy. Mostly they are funnies that I got as forwards and such.....

Marijuana-filled Firewood

'Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?'

'Yes. What can I do for you?'

'I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith... He's hidin' marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he's hidin' it there.'

'Thank you very much for the call sir.'

The next day, twelve Deputy Sheriffs descend on Virgil's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using azes, they burst open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave.

Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house.

'Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd... Did the Sheriff come?'

'Yeah!'

'Did they chop your firewood?'

'Yep!'

Happy Birthday, buddy!'

(Rednecks know how to get'r done!!!)

65 mph..........Nearer My God to Thee

75 mph..........Nearer Still Nearer

85 mph..........This World is Not My Home

95 mph..........Lord, I'm Coming Home

and over 100 mph..........Precious Memories

Star Wars Dining

Luke and Obi-Wan went out to eat in a Chinese restaurant one day. Obi-Wan is deftly manipulating his chopsticks with the ease you would expect from a Jedi Master.

Poor Luke, however, is having a hard time using his chop-sticks. He is trying to use the sticks with both hands, dropping his food all over the table and eventually, himself. Obi-Wan looked at Luke disapprovingly and says, "Use the forks, Luke."

Hope you all enjoyed!

I'm back in Cali!

Hey everyone! I am back to school... Sorry I didn't post much over the break! I went home to be with the family for about 2 1/2 weeks and I also got a facebook a couple weeks before school let out. It's official - I'd addicted =))

Anyway, home was normal - us kids sled (me and V, one and two times respectively and everyone else many times!), wrestled (sorryabout that chipped tooth V! lol), watched some movies (Fireproof is such a good movie and Up looked good from the first part I saw), cleaned house (always trying to be a blessing =) lol), and many other things.

It was so cute... the second to last night that I was at home, I had everyone except Veronica sleep in my room, all in my bed at one point of the night or another. My parents bought two bunk beds for Maria & I and Juan & Joey ( we are the kids that share rooms); the top bunk is a twin and the bottom is a double (hallelujah!!! for doubles!). It went Falicia, me, Joey - then Juan and Maria traded off on the last spot. Sleep was slightly different that night lol.

Anyway, I am back now and need to get off the computer. My friends next to me are going crazy and I need to get them out of the computer lab =)

Later!!

Home!

I'm home!!!! I flew home Wednesday and slept in my own bed!!! Yeah! I got sick and haven't felt the best the last couple of days but I'd rather be feeling puny at home than at school....

Last night as one of the family Christmas gifts, my parents took the family out to see the Bar J Wranglers, as pictured below....

They sang many different Christmas songs, including 'Winter Wonderland,' Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer' (cowboy style!), 'Let It Snow,' as well as 'Mary Did You Know,' and 'O Holy Night.' They did a very good job of honoring our military personel that were in attendance. They also gave Christ the honor and glory of being the true reason and meaning of Christmas.

As part of a western type of family, I greatly enjoyed the yoodlin' and such! =)

They guy in the light blue shirt (Donnie Cook) is a master at the banjo, the steel guitar, flat-top guitar, and dobro. All the guys did a great job last night!

Well, I think that's all for now... my room looks like a tornado attacked... again! I've only been home 3 1/2 days!!! Not good! =)

Later

Ty's Wedding

My cousin Ty got married on November 28 on the beach in San Diego!

Here are some pictures of him and Mary.

(Aren't they cute??!!)

Congratulations, Ty and Mary! Welcome to the family!!!

Thanksgiving Break Picts!!!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving. I sure did because I got to fly out to Colorado and spend it with my family! We went out to my grandparent's home in Kit Carson, CO (waaayyyyy out east in CO). Here are a couple pictures from the trip:

All the kids with Nana, my mom's mom. I was still in CA at this point, thus why I am not in the picture with the rest of the kids. lol

Okay, check this out. This picture is from this Thanksgiving, 2009.

This picture is from Thanksgiving of 2005. We've changed and grown up a bit, huh? =)

Rise and Randall (my cousin and her husband) had a baby girl a year ago and I got to see her for the first time at Thanksgiving. Little Aubrey is soooo sweet!!!!

(Okay, she's making a weird face in this particular picture but she had an adorable smile)

Well, that's all the pictures for now. Later!
