Man, I am soooo happy its friday. Here’s why its awesome so far.

I have a couple more hours left of the workday. The weekend starts tomorrow. Karaoke is tonight! This morning I joined a gym to get me out of my rut. I heard from Jason finally! He sent me a sweet email this morning. Okay back to work for now. More later

OH aladdin…haha

I miss San Francisco. It has to be my favorite city Ive ever seen. Stayed there for several days becuase of the NAMI Convention (which was fascinating).

Every morning I woke up early for a nice jog around the city. One day I ended up in Chinatown. Found the Golden gate bridge. Jogged along the bay.

In my downtime from the Convention I did a little shopping, found some great Sushi, discovered the best coffee ever, and visited the SF Modern Museum of Art.

I hope to go back there someday it really is the most beautiful place ive been in a while.

Had a great time in Santa Monica and LA. Stayed with Uncle Lee, Aunt Cynthia and my little cousins: Anika, Emma and Sophia.

Thursday night we went to a concert on the Santa Monica Pier and walked around. The view of the coast was very cool. I love everything about Santa Monica.

Friday I went for a run along the beach with Aunt Cynthia, went on some errands with my cousins and uncle. He took me on a tour of Hans Zimmer’s Studio, where he works.

Saturday (July 4th) we walked in a July 4th parade down main street. (pictured below: Aunt cynthia Uncle lee and my cousins). Later that day we had dinner in West Hollywood, walked around the Grove and watched the fireworks.

Sunday we went to the Santa Monica catholic church and had Dim Sum in Chinatown. On the way back got a tour of Hollywood Blvd.
Jason came up to meet me that afternoon I was so happy to see him before he deploys to Kuwait.

As an instructor of MHFA, its nice to get some attention with the local press finally.

Saturday: Spent most of the day relaxing, besides mom waking me up at 6am for a yard sale in Calvert County. Watched a Quentin Tarantino movie called Jackie Brown. Lots of violence, good movie though. Went to dinner at Asahi with some of Jasons friends for a good bye dinner. Later that night went out to Solomons and had a nice time.
Sunday: Drove up to annapolis and walked around for a while. Was a gorgeous day, lots of people had the same idea unfortunately.
