hometown friends.

So this weekend my good friend Tyler came out to San Diego to visit and hang out and what not. It was so sick to get to chill and have fun for a weekend. Here is the weekend wrapped up in three really quick points.

Dinner Friday Night.

Rock Climbing.

Got an amazing deal on an used guitar at this guitar shop. It's all the way in Carlsbad, but it is worth the drive.

Besides this being a really good weekend, a lot of stuff has been happening in the past couple weeks. Finals are approaching which is always fun......(slight sarcasm). and also I have found out that I will be traveling with a solid group of guys and gals from point loma all summer. We will be going around and leading worship at jr/sr high camps for a total of 10 weeks. We have started training and getting to know each other in the group and I'm already stoked about what the summer will hold. I will make sure and fill ya'll in on the details as they come!

Until next time. Stay Classy.

Grace and Peace.

Birthday wishes from Yuma.

Happy Birthday to Beatriz in Yuma,Arizona. Hope it's a good one.

Spring Break.

Spring Break has finally arrived. So far my break has been amazing!

Fist things first..... check out this Arizona Sunset.

So far this break I have just been hanging out relaxing. My girlfriend came back out to Phoenix with me to meet my friends and family and all that jazz, so it was a blast to have her out here for a little while. Here is a quick breakdown of what we did while she was in az:

Went to a friends wedding. Which involved doing the chicken dance at the reception... several times.

Mariners spring training game with some family friends who have the most legit little boys.

Hiked Camelback Moutain.

On a completely different note, and quite a sad one at that; my roommate Jon Runion (if you don't know who I am talking about scroll down to the family portrait blog and you'll see) he got incredibly sick the week before spring break. Long story short he had to get emergency surgery. Because of this invasive surgery he will not be coming back to point loma this semester. He is going to be recovering for the next couple weeks until he has a another reversal surgery. So if you guys could pray for him as he is going through this it would be greatly appreciated.

Until next time grace and peace.

Those french and their coffee.

Purchase of the week.

French press coffee maker from target.

I apologize, these kind of things are exciting when you need to stay up and write a paper.

Grace and Peace.

beach pizza and conquering mountains and giant rainbows.

In the past two weeks sooo much has happened. First of all this past week I had a chem test, bio test, and paper for old testament. So now that it has finally reached the three day weekend I am super excited.

A couple weeks ago I got the chance to go rock climbing with some of the guys who go pretty frequently here at Loma. I think in that day alone I became a man. seriously check out the pictures.......

">The guys I went with are part of the outdoor recreation group of club called great escapes here on campus. Its a solid group of guys and girls so if any of you guys come here make sure and check their trips out.

Next on the list of events was a little thing called valentines day. Since it was supposed to rain in San Diego, I had to be creative. My girlfriend and I ended out going to San Clemente and hanging out at the pier up there. Right by the pier they had the best pizza place ever. Which I have come to the conclusion that pizza places by the beach are always the best.

Last but Definitely not least is the rainbow sandal factory. It has the best sandals at super cheap prices.

we are family.

I realize I have apologized for being so late on the last couple blogs, but I promise you I had a good reason this time. In the creation of this blog, it took a little longer then the norm. So here you go:

Besides our family portraits. Here are some sweet pics from the past couple weeks being back here at Loma.

Over MLK my older brother Steve and his wife Sally came out to visit good ol San Diego. So that weekend Julianna and I hung out with them and went hiking at probably one of my favorite places in San Diego- Torrey Pines. Its super chill place to hike and it is absolutely beautiful there.

On monday since we had school off a bunch of went to south mission beach to chill. Where else can you go to the beach to hangout in January and not freeze? haha.

and of course you still gotta do your homework on beach days..... just kidding... but seriously. p.s. todd clayton is a chief.

On an ending note, I have become very very fond of daytime naps. I think it should be required for all college students.

grace and peace.

Back to the real world.

We're almost done with the first week back for spring semester. This week has been super exhausting after not doing anything for three weeks over break. My classes are gonna be pretty hard but it should be good.

Here is a really quick overview of my Christmas break:
1) Sleep.
2) Eat.
3) Spend quality time with the fam.
4) Got to shadow an ER doctor. (sick)
5) Once past steps 4 go back to steps 1-3 and repeat as needed.

On a serious note though. I noticed a couple things after coming back for break after finishing my first semester at PLNU. First things first is after moving away from home for college you realize how much family and really close friends mean to you. Its hard to understand until you don't live with them anymore. Secondly, In a short time span of just a semester you change drastically in the way you think and how you percieve the world you live in (hopefully for the better). And lastly you learn really quick that school isn't something you just check off your list. If your really passionate about your major, it is fun and challenging to be in a place like this- even if that means waking up for 730 classes... haha. And trust me if you would of told me I was gonna say this 6 months ago I probably would of laughed.


I need to go get dinner before it gets too late, so until next time grace and peace..........

p.s. here are some pics from the drive home to Phoenix for Christmas break. Jake is a friend of mine who goes to sdsu who let me hitch a ride home with him.
