Save it for a Rainy Day...

"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day"

The past few days its been raining pretty hard, but today I finally took out my saved falling star and have a pretty good day. This morning, my sister, Shiri, and I went to Disneyland. Since it was raining, it was not very busy despite it being holiday season. We got to go on just about all of the major rides, and all in just a couple of hours.


But this was not the highlight of my day. As always, any day that I see Kevin Mills is a good day. I've known Kevin for only about a year, but he's still one of the few people that always brightens my day when I see them. I met Kevin last year at a Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra rehearsal and we got to be good friends through the Maxim Presents fundraiser concerts. Even though this year Kevin and I are both graduated and at different colleges (he stayed fairly local), we were both invited to return as alumni for another Maxim Presents tonight. While the performance itself wasn't very good, it was still great to see Kevin and get to spend some time with him.

A Long Time Coming...

So ever since my photo class ended, I stopped posting pictures as break happened and things got busy. But now that things in my life have calmed down a little bit, I've decided to go back to posting pictures and just all around updates on my life.

My favorite part about break thus far has most definitely been going to Disneyland with one of my favorite people in the world. Last week my friend Sam came from Houston so we could go to Disneyland for a couple of days. But before we went to Disney we hiked up a hill in Turtle Ridge with the perfect look out point over the beach timed perfectly with the sunset.

 The colors were absolutely brilliant and I loved being able to capture them. Its hard to make these colors any other way but in nature and it was just amazing to experience them.

The next two days were absolutely fantastic, as what could be better than two full days at Disneyland at Christmastime when there are hardly any lines? That's right, nothing. I had a lot of fun spending time with Sam and Kyle (from Ventura) came down to spend those days with us as well. Oh how I love Disneyland at Christmastime :)
