Memorial Day Weekend

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I enjoyed my weekend.

Friday night I went to Castle and Coasters with my cousins and Cody. I wish I thought of taking  pics, but left my camera in the car. It was probably for the best since I was thrown into the fountain during our water fight. So some of these old pics will do.

The Log Ride

The only Roller Coaster they have there

The new zip line! It was a lot of fun.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the rope course. I didn't have a chance to do it but next time I will!

 

 

Saturday was the GCA graduation.It was fun and I was happy for my friends. I still can't believe how it has now been a year for me since I graduated. I heard I was in their roast. That was funny and the idea came from bring a few of them some Monster Energy drinks. The party afterwards was fun.  I ate with a few friends who asked me if I could bring them monsters too.

Andrew, Hannah, Victoria, Chris, and Benny

Sunday we had Jubilee and what a great service that was! Afterwards we had family and friends over for dinner and the Youth played Volleyball at the park. With such a busy weekend I slept most of monday. It felt like there was nothing to do. I talked with a coworker who is a Vet form the Navy. Then I found out the true meaning of Memorial Day. It's a time to remember all our veterans who gave their life for our freedom. My thanks and respect to anyone in our Military. Thank You so much for your sacrifice.

So the next few pics are different memorials.

Graduation!!!

 Wow! Time flies so fast! Just a year ago yesterday on May 28th, 2010 I had graduated with my senior class from GCA.

Seniors receive their charge from Pastor

I love how the light looks over the banner

Waiting for the signal...

Our Beach ball fun that kicked off the celebration

Being Silly

My awesome class!

We had so much fun that night. I will always remember it. 

Now just a year Later I give my applause to the graduating Class of 2011! 

I'm so very proud of you all! Stay strong, true, and follow your dreams. I wish you all the best in everything.

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

Busy

What a crazy week it has been! I wish I could have been able to sleep on the couch more since it's summer, but I'm out of school now so more time to work. I've been so busy working every day I feel behind not having a chance to post more this week. Tomorrow is friday and then the graduation on Saturday! I have a couple post to make and I will do another one tonight after work. I hope everyone is having a great week. Enjoy your holiday weekend!

I'll Blog When...

Hey Everyone!

I was sitting at Starbucks with some friends. As we drank our coffee I told them some stories. For most people who are around me. You know I have a story for almost everything. One of them asked me, "Why don't you start a blog?" Without hesitating I replied, "I'll blog when I have a camera." Then a few days later after coming home from work there was a package by the computer. To my surprise it was a camera!  I thought how in the world can I write a blog when there are several great bloggers better than me? I realized everyone has a different style. For example there is...

scarlettandthepinkcamera.blogspot.com

Scarlett

Scarlett is cute, funny, and has a tremendous blog. Her sense of humor is wonderful and will make you wish you had her as a little sister. If you ever want to see pics, guess what this is, and laugh. You'll find it from Scarlett's Pink Camera.

Do you like to do crafts? Check out marriedmylove.blogspot.com. Sis. Adrienne Garcia is very creative and has great ideas for any girl who like to do crafts. She does photography and has to be one of the greatest chaperones with her husband Lawrence.  Looking forward to our next youth event or trip with them! I'll have a pic of them up soon.

Then there is Glenn,

Glenn and his nephew Jeremiah

Just a few weeks ago Glenn went back to his hometown Flagstaff for the summer now that school is out. He also has his own blog about his summer. Currently he is Washington D.C. I'm really jealous because the pictures that he posts on his blog will probably be the closest I will ever get to seeing D.C. If you want to follow him on his adventures. Checkout my-summer2011.blogspot.com

These are just a few of the blogs I will be posting about soon. As the year goes on I'll write a story on them, as well as several others and share it with you all.


 Until next time, I hope you have a great day!
