Saying goodbye to my childhood

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing to go through. Especially if it involves saying goodbye to the house you've lived in for 16 years. There has been so many good times in this house that it's hard not to shed tears. This house built me- it made me the person I am today. This is where I learned to ride a bike, swim, drive a car. This is where i had my first friend, first best friend, and have friendships end. This is where i had my first love, first heart break, first strength to move on. This is the place that was a fairytale to grow up in and a bad dream to move out of.

As I grow older, I shall never forget this house or the memories made in it. Although I live in the beautiful town of Redlands, it's beauty will never compare to the summer sunsets, frost filled grass, morning fog, or warm spring days that were spent for 16 years at this house.

The good life

All is good in the neighborhood lately.. Summer is finally coming to an end which means the excruciating heat is slowing it's roll! Nick and I moved in together in July and plan to get our own place beginning of November! (: School at Crafton Hills College started for me last month! And I plan on transferring to the Rodrigos in Corona very soon! Life is changing quicker than ever but I am excited to see what God has in store for my life!

day 13;2011

It's just like there are supposedly 714 days left until the end of the world.

WHAT THE HECK.

So I decided that I need to make a bucket list this year perhaps. And on that list I suppose some much needed quality time with a FABULOUS family would be something worth while in my 714 days left here. [According to the Mayans- or whoever who decided to forget making the freaking calendar end when my generation is just getting life started]


Would ya look at these cuties!!!! Yeah, be jealous. I got to spend a whole 24 hours with these lil munchkins :o] We had a BLAST playing lots of board games, baking chocolate chip cookies, eating pizza, and playing wiiiiiiiiii! Which, I might need to take up Archery... Cause I ROCKED! Okay maybe not but still, we had lots of fun! Unfortunately, I came at a bit of a sad time but having SO much LOVE under one household just made everything so pleasant and God was definitely looking down on that Sierra household!

A sneak peak of the photoshoot that occurred while being there. Little miss Lola was surely FASCINATED by the fact that I had a digital camera.









I have no idea how my sleep deprived self kept up with these energized children. It must be all the veggies they eat! But I must say, I would rather have these lovely dates much closer together considering my last visit to them was January 2010. Does this mean I STINK at being the oldest female cousin? Gaaah, so with these 714 days left I MUST MUST MUST make time for this precious family!

I hope to come by various opportunities such as this lovely trip in order to keep adding to my bucket list. I know I am probably doing this procedure backwards but whatever man! Cut a panda loving girl some slack. All this end-of-the-world talk is getting me stressed out.


Anywho, yearly [soon to be monthly] trip to the Sierra clan: Check!
