A quickie!

I'm hoooooome!
Just a couple photos until tomorrow!

and the other shoe drops

This week has been one of the most emotional in my life.

i have a long post to write about it but short story is my mortgage career is over. I am switching sides to the real estate side and hanging my license as an agent. Im just a huge ball of emotions right now over why. The big loan company we were under decided i wasnt closing deals to their liking- as in if you dont close so many loans within an allotted time..120 days -then they let you go. In an automated email :( i was crushed, my branch i was under was crushed. we had no idea they had this policy when we decided to be apart of them. And with the market being so busy no one is going to hire a newbie loan officer who still needs traning.

And the kicker- most of my clients are going into contract next week again. I say again because some have already been in contract but fell out because of random reasons like sellers backing out etc.

I am in Moab right now and am loving it. it has been a great ending to what was a rollercoaster of a week.

i am taking pictures of the sunrise over the canyons tomorrow and hiking to the arches then flying home sunday.

i am up right now because i have so much going on in my head..and thats a good thing. i have so many ideas for what lies ahead.

Morning in Oakland

Holler.

My roomie and I wanted to go to the Mormon bookstore and the distribution center and since it was my first time - seeing the Oakland Temple! It's huge compared to the Sacramento Temple.

Sorry in advance for the crappy photo quality. Camera phone FTL

Ward Hike and Summer Plans

A couple weekends ago we went on a ward hike in the El Dorado National Forest. It was about an hour and half away. It was a beautiful drive, a beautiful hike. There was still snow on the ground! I am still downloading some of the photos from it but here are just a few until I'm finished.

We had a blast! It was my first time doing something like this with my ward. I am having a lot of fun. I now have a calling too! I will be teaching in relief society! SO EXCITED to take on the challenge.

I leave next week for some hiking in Moab, Utah. I cannot wait! I will be spending some quality time with my friends, take some amazing photos.

I also have 2 trips in July planned- one to LA to go to Disneyland possibly and visit my family who will be coming down from Utah. I will also be going to a family reunion..which im still trying to figure out how I am related to them but it means I get to hug my sister. I think I might cry..seriously. It will be in Manteca..camping will be involved.

In August I am taking a trip to Calgary, Alberta. CANADA!!!!!!! My best friend Steve is going to Afghanistan and he won't be able to make it down to California like last year. SO-I'm going up there instead. Going to see some of my friends and surprise Elder Davis who is serving in the calgary mission.

My summer has exploded.

Note to self

Must finish and post photos from the hike!

The first post

I still can't figure out how to fix my other blog..so I'm over it and decided to start a new one. I like to photo blog so yah..be prepared for that!

To recap the last few months since I've been gone- nothing new really. work is work. We have had some issues with my dog bella and have been back and forth to UC davis. More on that later this week.

So- for my first post:

Carolina, Hailey and Sammy (the dog).
The past 2 weekends I have been babysitting these two little girls. So Saturday I decided to give them a photo shoot! Carolina's family recently adopted a new dog from Marin. They dog Rubi passed away a couple months ago. Carolina and Hailey are god sisters. They are both 3 1/2.
