things i'm thankful for

i read somewhere that people feel more pleased with their life when they take time to reflect on things they're thankful for. an exercise proposed was to write down these things.. think of at least 5, every day before you sleep.

i think i'm going to try it.

#1- Josh's Trader Joe's gift card. 'cause it allowed me to bake today!
[soon to be a picture of the cupcakes i made]

holy COW!

normal cow

i think this was either vaughn, owen, or michelle's doing..
maybe nicky...
maybe wally...
maybe madel...

so many suspects!

WARRIORS WON!

catching up..

we painted our house in Lakewood.. this is the "before" picture.. i'll put the "after" picture the next time i go home..

half of my Oakland room. i like the set up.

the other half... covered with study papers.

nice randomness on the sidewalk on College/Broadway.

week 2- certified EMT!

got this after a week of passing my test! woo!

a new blog

as suggested by photojojo.com here's a new take on their 365 project (although i plan to do that someday too).. 52 pictures, one from each week of the year, capturing what i am thankful for. starting with Thanksgiving week... a good place to start.

a product of my mom's desire to feed hungry priests that eat too much Mexican food.. and no one will ever replicate her dish.

what i am truly thankful for.. my brother being home, parents that accept that i don't eat lechon or seafood (hence the picture above 'cause i can eat that stuff for days), a sister i have fun with, and babies that brighten your day.
