Nicholas' First Real 4th of July [IN PHOTOS]

All in all I would say it wasn't a complete success, but he didn't scream and didn't run scared. Hopefully nest year he will be more into it.

Summer Semester Is Over

Now let's have some good summer activities.

Upcoming events:

4th of July (today)
Shopping for a new car
A's vs. Red Sox game (Go Sox)
Jason and Kristin's Wedding
Registering for fall semester

Also trying to spend at much time outdoors/pool/lake to get a good tan. I am determined to get some color this year.

Oh and of course going to the gym and preparing for my best friend's baby shower! I am so excited.

It's Been 9 Years

... And I can still remember it like is was yesterday. Getting up early, to finish packing, waiting for UPS to deliver my last box, and heading to the Airport. I cried my eyes out after I got past security and was on my own for the first time to get on an airplane. Heading to LAX to meet up with the rest of the People to People Sports Ambassador program and head to New Zealand and Australia. I was scared, excited, nervous, and a bunch of other emotions. I was going on a plane for the longest plane ride of my life. I met a bunch of amazing people that I still keep in contact with and a few people that I wish I never met because they screw you over in the long run. But still amazing people.

Here a just a few photos from my trip....(in no peticular order)
