Gasparilla- January 30, 2010

Arggg! Pirates have invaded Tampa for Gasparilla 2010!!

For a weekend getaway, my roomies and I and some friends all drove down to Tampa and stayed a couple nights to celebrate Gasparilla together. None of us had ever been before and we were all so excited to watch the parade, get beads, and party all day together.

When we arrived to the event, it was such a beautiful day and we were so excited to start our pirate adventure. (This was when the picture was taken.) Moments after arriving, it immediately began raining. This was not just a momentary drizzle; this was wind and rain that came down the entire day. That is, until the very moment we went inside hours later. I stayed with Lauren and Evan the whole time and we made our own fun in the rain, walking the streets and watching the parade. We were determined to make the best of our Gasparilla experience, despite the weather. We walked up and down the streets for most of the day finding different friends and checking out different vendors. We walked a total of 10 miles during the day, and by the end my feet and legs were aching so bad.

We did eventually get to watch the parade and it was awesome! Despite the rain, everyone stayed out and cheered as the pirates walked through the streets and threw out beads. I caught a ton of beads, but my neck still looked bare compared to some people who probably had 50 strands around their necks. Unfortunately my night ended with me getting sick and not being able to go out. Rather than going out downtown with the fellow pirates and Gasparilla-goers, I took some medicine and went to bed early- probably got the most sleep I have in weeks. I am definitely planning a rain-check trip to come back to Tampa and experience Gasparilla at it's complete potential!

Girls Night Out- January 29, 2010

Friday night was a girls night out with some of my favorites!

To celebrate surviving our first full week of internship and catch up with each others' latest news, I went out with three of my best friends, Jaimie, Caitlyn, and Jayde. Jaimie and Caitlyn are both education majors like me and we are all graduating together this spring! My roomie Jayde also came, and I hope she wasn't too bombarded with school and teacher talk. (My other bff/roomie in Orlando is Lauren, but she had to work instead.)

To start the night we went out for dinner to chat and share stories. It's so fun to hear about the different students in our classes and hear the differences between all of our experiences. We then all went out to see the movie "When In Rome". I loved the movie and thought it was so funny. Seeing all of the beautiful sites in Rome definitely got me excited for my Europe trip this summer!

One of the highlights of my night was captured in my picture of the day. Our movie theatre recently started serving beer and wine and I've always wanted to try it because I think it's such a strange thing to have at a movie. Since we were in the mood for adventure, we ordered some beer and I was able to check this task off of my bucket list. It was definitely an experience to remember!

I love these girls! Every time we all hang out together, our time is filled with laughter and fun memories. It's so nice to have such good friends in college and I'm not looking forward to all of us going our separate ways next year. It's so hard to find time for all of us to get together, but it makes our times that much more special and memorable when we do!

Chinese Food- January 28, 2010

Chinese take-out and t.v. shows

Thursday nights are usually the "going out" night for college students. Bars and clubs are filled with hundreds of students ready for a night out. For me, Thursday nights are a perfect night to watch my t.v. shows and order some take out.

Although I definitely enjoy going out dancing or hanging out with my friends at local places, I also need nights to stay in and just relax. Especially since I've started my internship, my nights usually end very early so I can be well-rested for the next day. Sometimes I wish I could be going out with everyone else my age, but I'm actually really happy this has made me change my lifestyle to be early to bed and up early in the morning.

I'm definitely a creature of habit when it comes to my food choices. I love to cook, but I'll admit I end up going out for at least one meal a day. I change it up between all my favorites, but there is probably a list of 15 places I rotate between. Today I thought I'd be different and try some place new. I ordered some Chinese food from a nearby restaurant and brought it back to eat while watching "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice". Being indecisive and overwhelmed by the amount of options, I ordered multiple meals. They even gave me two fortune cookies, one for the imaginary person who they assumed was sharing the meal with me. Hmm, maybe I should change my eating habits?...

Dreaming of Europe- January 27, 2010

Europe 2010 is in the works!

This summer, Stephanie, Lauren, and I are going on a trip around Europe. We've been planning this trip for at least a year now and it's pretty much all I (and I'm pretty sure them, too) think about.

We're still not really sure if this is considered a backpacking trip through Europe because we all have different ideas of where to stay, how to get around, and what events and destinations to see. After seeing horror movies and hearing stories, staying in hostels just doesn't sound like my cup of tea. But on the other hand, I'm not sure I'll have the funds to be staying in luxurious hotels all around Europe.

All of us have been to various countries in Europe as well and we all have our different favorite destinations to be sure to stop in. I think we are all up for an adventure so we're sure to be making random trips and unplanned stops along the way. It's hard to be so unprepared for such a long trip, especially through countries where I don't speak the languages. But that's all part of the excitement and adventure of going abroad.

My picture of the day is of my traveling gnome Hansel standing on one of the many sample Europe maps I've plotted possible routes on. We haven't booked any flights or anything yet, but we're in the process of finding the best deals and routes to go on our journey. I'm sure that no matter where we end up it's going to be an amazing trip!!

Hope for Haiti- January 26, 2010

Although my little stories and daily occurences might seem important in my life, there are so many other huge happenings going on around me that are on a much higher scale of importance. Obviously the most important event that has happened lately is the earthquake in Haiti.

It's so hard to imagine what all the men, women, families, and children have been going through in Haiti during the past couple weeks. It's nice to see how many people are coming together during this time of need for a country that has already struggled with poverty for so many years. I am so deeply saddened by the situation in Haiti and wish there was more that I could do to help.

There are many different contributions we can all be making from a distance to show our support for those in Haiti. There are benfit CDs on itunes with proceeds going to Haiti; there are phone numbers to text donations to Haiti; there are so many different merchandise stores that are giving profits to Haiti. Look into how you can help out the people in the most need right now.

Everyone can make a difference, let's see what we can all do to help.

Coldstone- January 25, 2010

Yummy Yummy ice cream!!

After a long Monday of interning and working hard, I stopped at Cold Stone Creamery on my drive home for some much needed ice cream. Last year I probably ate ice cream at least every other day and this year I rarely do at all. This is very strange for me because I've been obsessed with ice cream since I was young.

So I decided to get some delicious dark chocolate peppermint and coffee ice cream mixed together with chocolate chips. I had to go all out since it's been so long. Although it seems like I rarely eat ice cream now, I still probably do more than the average person. And actually my roommate just walked in the door with ice cream for me. What can I say? I have a sweet tooth!

I then went home and relaxed, something that I rarely have time to do at all lately. Sometimes you need a good relaxing afternoon on the couch with some ice cream. I know there are a lot of people that constantly go all day long and I am definitely someone who likes to get things accomplished, but don't forget that it's important to rest and save time for yourself sometimes too. Trust me, I allow time for movies and ice cream and it's very nice. :)

Poor Little Fish- January 24, 2010

During my last day at home I encountered something so sad (and gross!) in my backyard. Apparently fish are all dying in the lake behind my house and no one knows why.

This first happened a couple weeks ago during a big freeze one night. Naturally people began speculating that they were frozen to death during the low temperatures Florida animals aren't used to living in. This weekend, however, the temperature was not freezing, or even very cold, so why are the fish still dying?

Do we live in front of a polluted lake? I hope not. The mystery of the dying fish still remains and my mom has even called over a science fair student to run some tests in the water. We'll have to wait and see what has been causing these fish deaths, but it's so sad to look out and see how many fish have lost their lives.

Do you have any ideas of what could be wiping out the fish population in my neighborhood?

Matanzas 5K- January 23, 2010

On Saturday morning I went downtown to support Jayde in her first fun, a 5K!

Although I'm not usually up early on Saturday mornings, it was nice to be up and active so early. After dropping Jayde off for the race, I drove around the town square and parked to find a spot to cheer on the runners. I picked up some Starbucks and a bagel and found a nice coquina wall to sit on and watch.

Although some might think it seems lazy to sit and watch runners while eating breakfast, I thought it was an awesome morning! I saw some local friends that I knew and was able to cheer them on while they were running. I saw Jayde and cheered her on too, even though she couldn't hear me over her headphones. She is actually hidden in my picture but she can probably only be seen through a magnefying glass.

The day also continued with stopping by my old dance studio to watch the dancers work on some pieces. I love going back there and seeing how good everyone has gotten. There are some really talented girls there and it's so fun to teach them because they can do so many different styles.

17 Again- January 22, 2010

This weekend I played the part of a 17 year old.

While I was home, I went to support my two sisters during a high school basketball game. My older sister Stephanie is the dance team coach and my younger sister Sarah is on the dance team. To show our support, Jayde and I sported "Ja'quettes Dance Team" hoodies and I even wore the hair bow that all the dancers were wearing.

Although I've danced my whole life, I was never part of a dance team at school because my school didn't have one until my senior year. Watching my sister dance made me really wish I had done that in high school because it looks so much fun. My sister has gotten so good and it's so fun to see her smiling and doing so well in dance. I'm so proud of her!

It was fun to kind of play a different persona that night and fit in with all the students that were younger than me. When we went out to a late dinner with my family, my sister heard someone say that Jayde and I looked like we were out past our curfew. I thought it was pretty hilarious because most likely I was older than them, but I guess my high school gear made me look really young.

Back in the Oldest- January 21, 2010

Tornado warnings, Mexican food, & Publix animals.

Since we had a three day weekend, my roommate Jayde and I decided to take a trip up to my hometown. What we hadn't planned was driving through tornado warnings and thunderstorms. The entire drive home included lightning flashes, pouring rain, orange skies, and fear. Even though a tornado is always something I've wanted to witness in my life, I always change my mind when we have warnings or watches nearby.

After our terrifying drive, we made it safely home and met my family for dinner at one of the few restaurants I hadn't tried in my city. It was delish...one of my favorite words that my dad tends to make fun of me for over-using. We then ventured to Publix to get some Oreos and random things. One thing special about Jayde and I is that we can turn anything into an adventure. Our Publix trip resulted in finding awesome stuffed animals (in the picture) and dancing around the store.

It was so nice to be home and see my family. The only disappointment was coming into my house to see no more Christmas tree and holiday decorations. I sometimes forget that normal homes don't leave a Christmas tree up all year, unlike my apartment. :) The first night was nice and relaxing after a day of internship, and I was excited for a long weekend at home!

Internship Day 2- January 20, 2010

Early, long days from here on out...with no complaints.

Today was my first Wednesday of my internship. Wednesdays have always been my crazy long days teaching 5 dance classes at night. Now I'm adding on teaching school all day long before dance. This should be interesting...

Here is my crazy Wednesday schedule from my first week of my internship. Alarm goes off at 6:55am; Arrive at school at 8am; Interning until early release at 1:45pm; staff meeting until 3:15pm; drive to teach dance; teach dance from 3:45-7:30pm; come home and crash.

After experiencing this hectic Wednesday, I didn't think it was going to be possible to make it through this semester. But at the end of the day, I loved it. There is nothing I would change in my crazy day and I wasn't miserable or tired during any of it. I think this is going to be the fresh new me....waking up early to warm, smoothe coffee...a day filled with tons of children and teaching...and a night of cooking dinner and going to bed early with a book.

Although some might be confused that I am a senior in college and am living this lifestyle, I love it and wouldn't change it. I'm sick of not going to bed until really late and then waking up too late for breakfast. It's just not me. This fresh new start is part of the new 2010 Catie. A well-rested, healthy, positive, and fun life. I have no complaints :)

Internship Day 1- January 19, 2010

Today I began my first day of my senior internship!

In preparation for my early morning, I went to bed super early the night before. Of course being so nervous kept me so restless and I just laid in bed for hours. I always have to resort to turning on my sleep CD to soothe me into a deep sleep.

When I woke up bright and early, I fixed my warm coffee and prepared for a long, exciting day ahead of me. I anxiously awaited meeting my teacher and students after I arrived at the school early in the morning. I'm interning in a gifted fifth grade classroom and I have to admit it sounded a little intimidating. Once I was introduced to the teacher and students, I immediately felt more at ease and comfortable.

As the day progressed, I became more familiar with the students, classroom, and school. I don't think I could've been placed in a better learning environment. The school has so many different great technology and learning tools to enrich the students' learning. I am so happy with my new students and school and can't wait for a great semester of learning!

Camping in the Living Room- January 18, 2010

Oh my goodness I love these boys!!

While half of my family was skiing in Vail, Colorado, the rest of us made our own fun staying together at my apartment. This was our last day together before they returned home and I began my last semester of college.

To liven up our living room, we pitched a tent right in the middle of the room. My brothers slept in it with sleeping bags and they loved it! Although I am not so much a morning person and enjoy sleeping in, my brothers always wake up bright and early and come running into my room to play. Although during those moments I wish I could go back to sleep, I love every moment I have with these crazy boys.

When they left to drive back home, I immediately missed them. Even though there were temper tantrums at times and they make me crazy all the time, these boys are everything to me and I miss them so much when I'm away at school. I'm super close with my family and so spending time with them just makes me wish for more time to spend with them. Hopefully another visit will be in the works soon!!

Alice!!- January 17, 2010

Alice in Wonderland is coming soon!!

There are many things in this world that I love. Sometimes, the things I love come together to create the perfect mix. I love movies, Alice In Wonderland, Disney, Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp. Now some people think they may enjoy these things too, but for me, it is more extreme- these really are my favorites!!

When I first heard that Tim Burton was making this movie, I was ecstatic. And just to clarify, I still am. Now the picture of the day isn't that I saw this new movie, because it's not out yet. I actually went with my sister and brothers to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. It was our second time seeing it...in theaters...kind of embarrassing. But on our way to the theaters we spotted this poster and had to stop for our own little tea party. And now it's time to count down the days!

I will for sure be there on opening day to see what is likely to be one of my new favorite movies. Will you be at the tea party?

Disney Day- January 16, 2010

1st Disney trip of the year!!

One thing you may or may not know about me is that I go to Disney about 50 times a year. Seriously, it's my second home and I love it! This weekend, my sister Stephanie came down with my two younger brothers to meet me at Disney and then stay with me for a couple nights. We spent the day going on rides, watching parades, and goofing around together.

This is a picture of my brother Christian and I after we went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, my favorite ride at Disney. I bought him some awesome pirate gear as a souvenir.

This year, Disney is doing the incentive of "Give a Day, Get a Day", encouraging guests to complete a service project in exchange for a free day at Disney. Promoting this incentive was a new pre-parade featuring the Muppets and dancers dressed as volunteers. Normally I am on the inside loop of what new parades are coming out (I wonder why??...) but this time I was surprised to see something new that I wasn't expecting.

Even though I've been to Disney World countless amounts of times throughout my life, there is always something new and different going on in the parks. Do I ever get sick of going? Nope, never. We'll see what's to find during my next trip...

Tommy Palooza- January 15, 2010

Tommy Palooza was definitely a night to remember. I went to bid my friend Tommy a farewell with my roommates Lauren and Jayde, and my friend Matt. (Technically Tommy and Matt are my sister Beth's friends from UF, but since she wasn't there and I've become a good friend through the years, I filled in for the farewell.)

Tommy is leaving to teach English in Korea for a year, so this was an event to give a last hug and share a last drink together before his departure. Before we left and as we were saying our final goodbyes, the four of us (in the picture) gathered and sang together holding hands in a circle. Somehow this is kind of a strange recurring event with my friends and I, but it was a perfect way to end the night and say farewell.

One of my other favorite events of the night was picking oranges from a nearby orange tree grove. I've always wanted to pick oranges off the side of the road (since I've lived in FL all my life) but never had it in me to steal...but now I had my chance! Lauren and I both picked bright oranges from the top of a tree and brought them home with us to enjoy later. (Even though we had permission, it still felt mischievious! )

Cleaning Frenzy- January 14, 2010

Clean, organize, throw away, and restock...

As I am beginning a fresh semester, my last semester of college, a clean sweep and organization day is crucial for survival. Being an elementary education major usually leads to the accumulation of so much stuff- books, games, papers, books, lesson plans, learning tools, binders, arts & crafts, and more books. I'm not complaining...I love having my own personal Barnes & Noble in my room, but it means staying very organized all the time.

Although some people think I was already ridiculously organized, (with a bookshelf of almost 200 DVDs in alphabetical order) I cannot stand to have so much stuff and not be able to see all of it and know what I have. (Obviously this picture looks like I'm really messy, but this was during the process.) So, in order to fulfill my clean room expectations, I organized...all day long.

I had notebooks from so many previous classes that I had to sort through and/or throw away. For my major, we have to keep certain assignments for various portfolios and notebooks in order to graduate, so I've been holding onto so many notebooks. After organizing all of my bookshelf belongings, I assembled (hammered, screwed, and everything!) a new bookshelf together. I have to say how impressed I am with myself, and now my room is organized and ready to begin my final semester!

For my picture of the day, I chose my messy room rather than my finished product because it's hard for me to believe that it started out looking like this. As I write and glance over at my new beautiful white shelves, I feel inspired to begin reading, working, and starting my new internship!

Puppy love- January 13, 2010

Prince Charming comes to visit!!

While my sister was away on a ski trip, I volunteered to babysit our dog Prince Charming. My sister and I bought Prince two years ago when we lived together, but now he lives with her and I only get to see him every so often. This week, however, he got to stay with me!

Prince Charming is a Cockalier, a mixture of a Cocker Spaniel and a Cavalier. He is the best dog in the whole world. Even if he is being annoying or obsessing over and barking at a spec of dust outside, he has his good looks that get him out of trouble. Princey is such a snuggler, too which is definitely a plus! (Some people might say he is just lazy and needs to exercise, but I think he is the perfect pup.)

My picture of the day is of Prince and I, right when he was kissing me. :) I just had to give him back to my sister and I miss him already. Hopefully he will visit again soon! (And I plan to steal him from my sister next year...shh don't tell!)

My new grill- January 12, 2010

Got my bottom grill today!!

Ok, so I'm not that cool and I don't have a grill. I'm definitely like a middle school kid in college. I got my bottom braces on today and they hurt to bad. :( I thought about never talking about the fact that I have braces on this blog, but hey, it's a part of me and I shouldn't hide it.

I've had the top set on since October and today I got the bottom ones on, which was the reason I got braces in the first place. Since this morning, I've already had one bracket break off and I'm in so much pain.

I'm still a little insecure about my braces, even though they're clear, so I decided to have some digital effects on my picture for today. You can't really even tell I have braces on in the picture, but trust me, I do. Hopefully later on this year I'll put up a proud picture of my straight, white teeth!! Until then, I'll stick with far away shots and effects.

Note to kids: Wear your retainers!! Or you'll have braces in college like me :)

Snow in Florida?!- January 11, 2010

Did it snow in Florida this week?!

Weather channels have been questioning whether it snowed in Florida over the weekend and/or early this week. Although I wasn't one of the lucky view to get a glimpse of the flurries, my Monday morning was a Winter Wonderland.

When I woke up early Monday morning, my yard was covered in ice and my car was a big ice cube. Of course I didn't have time to enjoy seeing my only glimpse of snow-like weather because I was rushing to a meeting, but I did have to do the northerner task of scraping my windshield of ice.

I chose this picture because when I started scraping off the ice, it began melting away and clumping into snowballs. Although I missed seeing any sightings of snow this year, I've gotten my dose of cold weather and my ice car will just have to do.

What probably should have been the most memorable part of my day was the meeting that followed this morning event. I'm starting my elementary education internship II this semester and got my placement. I'm so excited to begin teaching and to meet my new students. I know there will be plenty more school news in the future, so I'm going to cherish my "snow day" instead. :)

Reuinted with Roomies- Jaunary 10, 2010

JCL Reunited!!

After being away for winter break, the girls of Acehouse have been reunited again. :) To celebrate being back together, the three of us went out to eat at a new neighborhood restaurant we've been wanting to try. We ate at a wine bar/bistro and the food was both healthy and delicious!

Our dinner was followed by a roomie game night at our apartment. We played Scategories (I won!) and watched "Tropic Thunder". This is a picture of the three of us after we finished playing the game. It's quite a bad picture of us, hence the small sizing I made it. But it was still may favorite part of the day because we finally got to have some fun roommate time!

Dragonfly- January 9, 2010

Eating at Dragonfly!!

My last night in Gainesville was spent out to dinner at Dragonfly, one of the best restaurants ever, and having a game night.

Dragonfly is a sushi restaurant that is so delicious it's rediculous. My eyes, however, were a little bigger than my mouth and it was quite difficult to eat my giant sushi rolls in one bite.

As you can see in the picture, the temperature in the ville that night was freezing! Aside from stopping to take this shot, we had to run to our car to stay warm. Because of the cold weather, we decided to stay in and have a game night with a bunch of friends.

Catchphrase is always a must for game night, and our girls vs. boys challenge was hilarious. Although the boys conquered the girls, I must say I am quite the pro at Catchphrase and never (until the very end) had the buzzer stop on me. (Everyone else did multiple times.)

I was sad to say goodbye to Gainesville on my last night, but have so many fun memories of my little roadtrip to hold on to. This was a much overdue trip and I definitely plan to revisit the home of the gators again in the near future :)

Out on the town- January 8, 2010

On Friday night, we went to a bar named "Mothers" in Gainesville. This was my first time ever going out in Gainesville and I definitely had a fun time!

Although I had never heard of this place before, it ended up being filled with people I knew from high school and even some of my cousins came! I got to meet up with two of my best friends, Jasmine and Kelsey, which was definitely a highlite of my night. I also always make plans to hang out with my guy cousins and the plans always fall through so it was a blast finally hanging out with them.

I had to break the rules for this day and choose two pictures instead of one because I couldn't choose a better crowd, my friends vs. my family. Another memory of the night was seeing the Easter Bunny at the bar. My sister and I were so freaked out by this bunny who definitely didn't look like a friendly holiday symbol. I'm not so sure I enjoyed seeing him, but it was definitely a creepy memory I won't forget.

Roadtrip- January 7, 2010

Roadtrip to Gainesville!

I finally decided to take a roadtrip to Gainesville for the first time this school year. I drove to visit my sister and some of my best friends at the University of Florida. On my journey over, I stopped to have the freshest, best orange juice ever!

This is a picture of me with my delicious orange juice from the Florida Orange Center. Notice my photog skills...I got the sign in the background first try!

I eventually got to Gainesville and spent my first night with my sister and our puppy Prince Charming. It was freezing out so we decided to just have a dinner and movie night. But the Gainesville festivities continued for the next few days...

Back to Dance- January 6, 2010

Back to Dance!

It was 40 degrees outside today and my dance room was 50 degrees when I came in to teach...freezing!! I had to keep on a fur jacket for the first bit and all my little babies were bundled in their coats. Here is a pic of me in my winter dancewear.

Yesterday was my first day back to dance in 2 weeks and after stretching and dancing for 3 hours, I was dead sore today. Just walking up and down my stairs was a workout...I guess I should've made some sort of New Year's resolution to work out, but I'm just taking pictures instead :)

Dog Sitting- January 5, 2009

Onyx is from China?

I am pet sitting my roomie's puppy Onyx and she has a cone on her head. When I take her out she stumbles over her cone and it is really sad/funny/cute.

I just love this picture because she looks Chinese and it's awesome. If only dogs could hold chopsticks, it would be perfection...

New Career Path? - January 4, 2010

I dyed my roomie's hair!!

So my roommate somehow trusted me to bleach her hair for her and I ended up being pretty pro. I've gotten my hair done enough to know what it's supposed to look like, so I just went for it. I was so nervous that I would ruin her hair and make it fall out or something, but it turned out awesome!! This picture shows how pro my foils are :) I don't have an after pic as proof, but she likes it a lot and just take my word that it looks good.

So...a backup career as a hair dresser if my other plans fail? I think so!!

GA GA OO LA LA- January 3, 2010

LADY GAGA Concert!!!!!

My dad got my sisters & I tickets to see Lady GaGa and it was incredible! We were in a suite with our own waitress, flat screens, etc. (and these tickets were acquired after the show was sold out)

This picture was taken during "Bad Romance", my favorite part of the concert. It's hard to capture all of the excitement and energy that was going on at this moment, but I have it locked in my memory.

RA RA AH AH AH, RO MA RO MA MA, GA GA OO LA LA, WANT YOUR BAD ROMANCE!!

Dexter- January 2, 2010

The 2nd day of the year was super cold out and I just wanted to bundle up in my bed all day...so I did :)

This picture is me laying in my bed watching Dexter. I became obsessed with this show over Thanksgiving break and I've watched all 3 seasons since then. This was the day I finished season 3 and now I have to wait until August to see the next season...kind of a big deal!

If you haven't ever watched this show, watch it!

New Year's Resolution- January 1, 2010

Happy New Year!

For my new year's resolution, I'm creating this blog to document my year to hold some of my favorite memories. During 2010, I will have a picture documenting my most memorable moment of every single day.

This photo was taken on January 1, 2010 at 12:00 am. We had a champagne toast at midnight and I was so happy to be with my sisters and friends in the oldest city!!

Quote of the night: "The oldest city that never gets old". Some how every night back home turns into a high school reunion...and I love it!!
