Expected...

Oh my sweet, loving, little, conniving, 19-year old sister...
She means well.... but all this hype from her about something "unexpected"... well...

My Dad and StepMom came, we had a nice dinner, we walked on the Goleta Pier (where I took this awful picture of the 3 of us!)

... and my Dad gives me 3 things from Nichole:

A Starbuck's card, a Journal, and a box of something called "Monkey Bread"... that's it... that was my sister's big surprise?
She wanted to bless me, which she did, but she could have made it a little less dramatic and stressful to me!

I had a rad and blessed time with my parents. My Dad told me he was proud of me, which was super sweet. And they are going to throw down a little money so Dawn and Tyler don't kick me out of the house for being delinquent with my rent ;-)

Mom, Sister, the Ocean, and Me...

My Mom and Sister hung out with me this weekend...
here are a few pics from some time at the beach yesterday and this morning...

My sister, My Cat, and the snow...

I'm up North right now in Pollock Pines... near Placerville... north of Sacramento...
south of Lake Tahoe :-)
Visiting my cat...

and my step sister Nichole
who was in a bad car accident Sunday night. She wasn't driving, but the driver of the car she was in, hit a patch of ice and over corrected and hit her brakes, which caused the car to flip over. Praise the Lord all 3 of the girls who were in the car are relatively ok, but they are all pretty beat up and bruised and have whip lash. Nichole's Mom and my Dad are in Mexico right now on a missions trip until Sunday. So I am here doing my big sister duties...

and playing in the snow....

Pictures of that to follow... stay tuned ;-)
