I Lost My Phone....

...It literally vanished. I need everyone's numbers :(

Reasons to plan the next family reunion in San Diego...

Have fun filled BBQs under my favorite tree in my favorite park on the Bay (its a perfect tree) :)


Unbeatable sunsets, great for family photo sessions...


Fun things to do... like surf, attempt to surf or just check out the surfers...


And... pay a visit to my friend Shamu :)

Awesome views and great places to stay... SEE YA'LL SOON!!??!! :)

(I like to pretend I'm a photographer.)

Back in the day...

I just had to jump on the band wagon and try this too....

I think this was a good look for me...

My moms senior photo...

This was just one of my many perms gone bad....

How did Emilys yearbook photo get on here?! ...

Thanks Diane for styling my bangs for my senior pic, they look fantastic!...

Well that was the most productive use of my work time ever!!

Street Scene!

San Diego has an amazing Music Scene which is definatly a perk to living here. I have an instilled love of music in me and a hobbie of going to as many live concerts as I can squeeze into my life (Thanks to my Dads genetics)...

Last weekend, I rounded up a few friends and went to 2 full days/nights of non stop concerts downtown San Diego. They roped off a few blocks in the heart of the city, set up about 4 different stages and had over 40 bands/artists playing the whole time. It was spectacular.

A few favorites included:

-Beck
-Cold War Kids
-Spoon
-The Hives
-Steele Pulse
-Devo (Whip it good!)

Lately..

San Diego has been my home for 6 months now and you may wonder what it is I do with myself out here these days... Well, here is my routine...I work... I am in the process of transferring hospitals within Scripps Healthcare as part of a "Corporate H.R. Re-Organizational Procedure" It actually doesnt effect me much other then I have to get to know a new team and I will be located at the 'Big Bad' Hospital on the other side of the freeway doing the same sort of "Corporate Polital Policy Regulating Crap", aka.. Human Resources. Yes, I am the "Toby" and everybody hates me...I play... I have been making a point to take advantage of the beautiful weather and amazing scenery that is in my backyard, afterall I did move to SD for a reason. Considering I live where people pay mucho deniero to vacation, I figure I might as well "vacation" on my off hours. So a few times a week I will ride my bike down the Ocean boardwalk and onto the bay. It is so peaceful and beautiful just steps outside my home that I cant think of a better way to clear my mind, get some exercise and spend time outdoors :)

***Here are some videos we attempted to create to demonstrate our almost daily routine. Jason is teaching me to longboard, which is rapidly climbing the charts to becoming my new favorite hobby, I must say years of snowboarding has made it easy for me to love all board sports :)
(filming steady while riding a bike or a board is much harder then you may think)

I hang out with this guy... 30. Architect. Total Babe. :)

I sleep... For a second, then wake up at 5:45am and do it all over again.

Today is my Half Birthday!

Today I am 24 1/2. Wow, I'm getting old....What happened? :(

Update in a nutshell..

New things....

Im working on pics, I swear. I have some down time at work so here is what I have been up to since my last post, I will try to elaborate more when I can sit down at a coffee shop with the internet over the weekend...

~But for now and in a nutshell, here is an update of my difficult life..

*In the state of California you can no longer talk on the phone while driving, it has been a rough patch in my life (I may soon need therapy or at least a headset)
*I started taking boxing classes! Yes, Boxing. I am sore all the time, discovered muscles I didnt know I had and could most likely beat you up :) Its been great.
*After 6 months and a new set of sparkplugs, my "check engine" light finally went off, I couldn't be happier.
*I have been going to the horses races on a weekly basis and improving my betting skills, In total, I am proud to say I have won $9
*I can now ride a wave, standing on the board for a total of 4.5 seconds, Im considered awesome.
*I recevied some care packages from home (thank you) and I discovered I really like receving care packages so anyone else interested in sending them my way, please email me for the shipping address and I will gladly provide it... I like food and pictures :)
*I have become domestic and learned to make boiled eggs (thanks for walking me through the process mom, they turned out great) I have also become addicted to swiffer sweepers
* I joined the 'Big Brothers Big Sisters' foundation and I hopefully get to meet my new friend soon.

Thats all for I have for now please stay tuned for pics to come...

Have a great weekend! Miss you all! Come Visit!
