goodbye 2009

i am not sad to say goodbye to 2009 at all.  it was a crazy year filled with learning, stress, tears, frustrations, being broke, etc etc.  there were some pluses of 2009:  finished my teaching credential, went to europe, met an amazing boy and i have a sweet job in the mtns.

here's to 2010!! i will turn 30 in april..lil nervous and i will be moving to japan in june/july to teach english for a year.

Check out my photo business!!!!

Well, with the whole month of August off I have had a lot of time on my hands.  Photography has always been a hobby of mine and now I am hoping to make some money off of it.  I had quite a few friends donate their children and their time to me this past week.  I am forever grateful to them!  Check out my new blog with some of the latest pictures.  I have a few more to add...still editing :)  Please pass the word along to friends and family.

toga pub crawl

went down to encinitas for a toga pub crawl.  i was late, so i had to ride my skateboard and get towed by my friends bike...ya not the safest idea!  later on in the day i traded my skateboard for a bike.

it's been a WHILE

a few panama pics

it's been a while since i have written on here.  life has been quite crazy.  at the beginning of feb i found out i got hired on at capo.  i am teaching government, geography and sdaie world history(english language learners)  it is quite busy, crazy, frustrating, rewarding, all at once.  every spare moment i am on my laptop doing lesson crap.  but, i love what i do.  waterpolo is over and now it is swim season.  just 1.5 more months and then i get a break from coaching.  i have been in season since sept 1!!!!!!

president's weekend i was in panama with my friend russell.  we celebrated being done with our teaching credential's.  he coaches waterpolo and swim at mission hs.  we had a fantastic time.......such a cool country!!

speaking of a cool country...i am in the process of applying for my work visa for australia.  for those of u that have know me for a while...ever since i got back from australia i talked about moving there.  well, since our economy is shit and i probably wont get a teaching job anywhere come sept...i want out of here.  for australia...u have to apply for a visa before u can get hired.  so, that is what i am doing.  cross your fingers for me :)

he's walking...

i spent the weekend in woodland hills...at my cousins.  eric is walking now!  he is so stinkin cute!!!!!!
