My Camera!! And School!! And Schedules.

After some encouragement from my house-mate, I finally got the cord to my camera! I can again take pictures. Which means, this should be the last of my only word post. I thought it would help me to have a goal of posting something on here once a week. So that's the idea.

Should this be a little bit about school? Why not?

I thought it would be wonderful to be back in school - and I was right. I LOVE IT!!! Last sememster I took four classes and got my first ever "B" over all in a class. It was terrible. Uriah reminded me a few times to do as someone says "Do your best and forget the rest." (It has something to do with P90X) Overall the semester was amazing - I loved it. And I'm looking forward to the spring semester starting in two weeks.

Next semester I'm taking a French, English, Sociology, and Music class. I am pretty excited.

Hanging Out With These Two People....

Life is good!

Camera

I have some great pictures on my camera. Unfortunately, I've lost something that I need to charge the camera and to connect it to my computer. (Read the cord.)
Bummer... I'm hoping to find it soon.

Breaking the Rules

A few days ago my super sweet friend Alison returned from school.

I love the girl! So obviously, after work I called her on the phone.

Happily, and much to my surprise, she was near by my work!!! Woot! 

So she dropped by and picked me up for a lunch date.

I was so excited that I broke one of my rules... I didn't have a visual or 

physical check on my keys. And I locked them into my car. Oops.

Thankfully, my sister had a spare key and we were able to come 

back a few hours later and get my car open.

So hurray, for friends and sisters, for rules and for breaking rules.

(You know, that is the first time that I've locked my keys in the car. Will it be the last?)

Traffic

Not having to struggle through traffic before, I've been surprised and annoyed figuring out the traffic patterns I'm currently facing. The biggest reason that I'm annoyed is because of the lack of consistency. One Wednesday, the drive I take (from the Farm to the West Side) will take 40minutes. The next week, (and for a very unknown reason) the drive will take 65minutes.

 Seriously, how do you plan for that!?

Here are a few pictures of other cars sitting around in the stop and go traffic.

Lunching

I never knew how much I like eating. I love it! 

But I really like doing it with other people.

I find that sometimes I have to eat alone. (Surprising? It shouldn't be right?)

Anyway, the point? I'm learning to enjoy fixing an easy lunch and eating it alone.

Here is one of my main stays.

Slice of delish Alvarado Street Bread with Butter

Three Dates

Handful of Peanuts

Carrot

Glass of Raw Goat's Milk

YUMMY 

More Bees - Pt. 2

So you last read that I fell in love with bees.

As time when on I continued to love bees. I would read about them - look at them - and dream about keeping them. I went to an art class and there met a woman who kept bees. We talked about bees pretty often.

My passion grew. I asked my dad if I could get bees and keep them at our house in SV. But after careful consideration the answer was no. My heart was broken.

But then, as I was working on an art project (it was an advertisement for honey no less!) I randomly prayed.

Basically I told God that I knew he cared about me. And that I knew he could send some bees my way if he wanted to do it.

Really, the prayer just sort of jumped out of me before I even thought about it. Bees? Who prays that God will send some? But I did - and thought little of it. Until...

I looked out my bedroom window the next day. In the tree right outside my bedroom window was a swarm of bees. They stayed around for the summer, over-wintered, and remained for the next year too.

While living there they never, ever stung a person. A perfect hive!
