New Home

I live in a different city this year. Instead of living in San Luis Obispo - I am spending at least Fall Quarter in Arroyo Grande with seven dwarfs children (more on that later). What is amazing about their house is the beautiful flowers in the front yard. It makes me (and my camera) very, very, happy.

Graduation Tassels

When I look at my graduation tassels and how they reflect either the school colors (high school) or the college within the college I was in (Cal Poly) I am now reminded that I am currently in the College of Science and Math.

Here's how it works.

a.) The School of Education (used to be the College of Education) was absorbed into the College of Science and Math in 2009. This is support the Liberal Studies studies who take more math/science classes than english/history
b) The School of Education includes Liberal Studies/multiple subject teaching credential programs and Single Subject credential programs
b) English Single subject program is a part of the school of Education

therefore I am in the college of Science and Math.

Confused? Welcome to my life.

Chinatown, SF

I like to edit photos - and this was from my pre-SLR days. It is still with a digital camera but I like the angle of this shot. It was from my mission trip to San Francisco my senior year of high school. What I like about this picture is it tells me two things: I had an early passion for photography and I had an early passion for urban missions - two passion I hold tight to today.

FUI Ignite Reunion

Every Ignite conference is the joyful reunion of all summer projects. I also had my camera back so I was anxiously taking pictures. Here we have the wonderful Lissah (lee-saw).

Then Amanda.

And Marissa (with Alex in the background). How I miss all of these people.

Some S's

Here we have some S's. Sarah, Sarah, and Sydney. I just like them and this picture. Sarah Henry (on the farthest left) and I are were apart of the awesome cooking crew with a different Sarah (not the one pictured here) for Chapter Camp. This was during our break time. 

15 Pounds of Meat

This is Sarah - vice president of cooking affairs. She is currently cooking about 15 pounds of meat. There was so much fat and grease that it overwhelmed the tray it was supposed to run off into. I thought we are going to have hot oily mess all over the floor. Fortunately we did not.
After that eating the burritos was not quite the same.

President of Cooking Affairs

This was my last two days: shopping for food for Chapter Camp. This is probably only a 1/4 of the food we bought for 60 people for 4 days. It was an intense shopping trip - four carts total, two stores, and lots of coffee.
