My last week in Provo was kind of super emotional because i won't be back until Fall. Saying goodbye to friends was pretty hard, but i'll see them again soon :) Until then a lot of Skype, that's for sure. Sucked missing Sister Gibson coming to the Provo MTC as well. Buuuut it's for the best right now.
So I flew into Sacramento on the 21st to my sisters, Cristina. The next morning we were up early and i was on my way to help out with my nieces kindergarten class! I've been pondering about changing my major to Early Childhood Education and this was a chance to get some experience with children in that setting. I loved every minute of it, they were all full of energy and eager to learn. It was an experience all right! It was kind of a party day because it was the last day before Spring Break, so we played games, had singing time, and ate great snacks. I'm telling ya, Kindergarten is where it's at!

Two boys at my table that told me i was pretty. I love this picture!
The next day it was Roadtrip time with my sister. I love roadtrips with her because we sing a lot. And it always means In N Out too...So after 2 hours or so of that we were in San Jose getting ready for my mom's 60th to start.
Danielle and I. We've always been super tight, she's a couple years younger than me.
My cousin and I went to BJ's to get a pazookie, a tradition of sorts, and headed back to the house as family began to arrive. My family parties are always too things: big and loud. It's what you get when you get a bunch of Latin family together.
Uncle Bobby, My Mom, Uncle Jimmy, and Uncle Francis.
Great food, music, laughing, talking, picking on the boyfriend my cousin brought, and a whole lot of running around. Everyone was surprised because i had dyed my hair and was wearing contacts. They all said how much my sister and i look alike, what do you think??
The next couple of days were filled with relaxing in San Jose. One morning Danielle and i woke up to my 6 year old niece banging on our door yelling "Delivery!" as she brought us McDonalds that my Aunt Pam had bought us. We ate as we continued our Futurama Marathon. I had started watching it with a friend in Provo and really got into it so i roped Danielle into it too. Zoidberg is my favourite for sure.
That day we decided to go shopping. We hit up H&M, Urban Outfitters, Pac Sun, and Zumiez. Not to mention the two Starbucks and Tapioca Bubble Tea place we found. So i'm changing my wardrobe around and trying out some new stuff. Can i just tell you now that i am in love with the direction it's going?
I have found some new loves: Leather and Lace. Finally got a pair of leather boots! My fashion guru: Greg, is very happy with me. Granda Busto is to blame :) She spoils me, as does the rest of my family. My Uncles and Grandma are the best!
My cousin and I are ridiculously alike and i realized that a lot this trip. We have a lot of the same mannerisms and look alike too. Enjoyin' some Starbucks.
Monday was Beach Day. Relaxing, Pizza My Heart, and napping on the beach. I haven't been to Capitola since i was a little kid but i remembered the siiiick toy shop. The beach was exactly what i needed, it lets me think clearly. The warm sun, sound of the ocean, and the feel of the sand between my fingers.
That night Danielle and I went to Petroglyphs, where you go and paint whatever you want. I painted a cup to look like Zoidberg that has its own COOKIE compartment!
We left the next day for San Fran and spent time with my Grandma. Packed the car to the gills with everyones luggage and crammed into my seat. I realized that i can still sleep in any position if i'm tired enough.
Life is still a little crazy but it's getting to a point where it won't be so much. Excited for Oregon, yet a little scared for that next chapter in my life. Until then, Spring Break with my Sister and Mom-until she leaves.
I've got a lot of goals for this Summer.
My Mantra for the next 5 months?
