FUN IN WASHINGTON-- and other updates...



It has been a long time since my last post! So much has happened since then that it really seems silly to try to recap. I will hit some highlights from these past 9 months!
1) A fun trip with close girl friends to Washington! In November we traveled to the Northwest to visit a close friend living in Olympia. We enjoyed rain (of course!) as well as crisp fall weather and colorful leaves falling to the ground. We had quality time catching up in coffee shops, and even paid a visit to the very first Starbucks. The highlight of the trip was connecting with girls that I cherish and being able to reminisce about the past, enjoy the present, and dream about what the future might hold. All of the pictures below are from our time in Washington.
2) I started graduate school in the fall, and embarked on the first steps of my journey in becoming an M.F.T. (Marriage and Family Therapist-- which is admittedly a bit funny since I am not married and definitely don't have children! haha!)
3) I moved to a house on the mesa! I am living with two friends from Westmont and enjoying a more spacious living situation (I have my own room!) and closer proximity to my favorite surfing spot! My new address is 409 Flora Vista Drive, Santa Barbara, CA. 93109.
4) I am continuing to enjoy my job, tennis, surfing, beach volleyball, hanging out with friends, and walking on the beach. I love what I am learning in school about humans -- our brain functioning-- which influences thoughts, feelings, tendencies, and behaviors. So interesting! I also really enjoy being a part of Ocean Hills Church.
