well, hello blog world, it has been quite awhile. it feels good to be back in the blogosphere after an absence. many things have happened since then:
- my dear, sweet grandma passed away on march 12th
- i was in wisconsin for a few days for all of that stuff
- i have been on spring break
- i am behind on american idol
- i got a new camera
- two great friends, claudia and brian got engaged
so, as you can see, things have been a little crazy and spring break has not been as fun or relaxing as i had hoped. on the plus side, i have been having fun with my new camera and though it was tragic and sad to be in wisconsin, it was nice to be around family. here are some pictures from my new camera:

my sister, my brother, and me!

my cousin, jackie’s new baby, xochitl (zoh shul)

sleeping xochitl and cousin, britteny

i LOVE this new camera. expect to see many more pictures as i learn and play with it. more pictures from the trip to come!
