Wow, has it really been that long???

So I haven't posted in forever. Lots has changed in my life.

I am currently living in Beaumont, CA with my boyfriend Josh. I graduated from college with an associates degree in Computer Science. I am still looking for work. I have started going back to church. Currently going to one that is just down the street.(yay!)

Let's see... what else is new... Mom moved out to Connecticut. Since Sean, Ally, and Matt were going to be heading out there a few months later, they decided to combine their move with moms. So now all of them are out there. Joshua(brother) is currently living down in San Diego.

Well... that's all I can think of right now....

Dallas Arboretum April 11, 2009

JJ's sister Cori invited myself and JJ out with her and her boys to the Dallas Arboretum. The weather couldn't of been more perfect for the day! Here are a few pictures... In case you are wondering, their website is Dallas Arboretum.

Attempting to get the boys to sit near each other for a photo op.


I liked this sculpture, dunno why.


Pretty little... uh walled in garden.


Cool statue.


Teepee.


Mud Hut or um ya...


Tring to be candid.


An actual candid!





Thought of mom when I saw this one.



I wasn't sure what to expect from the Arboretum, but I had a fabulous time. The weather turned to rain later that evening and into the next day. Definitely a site to see.

My trip out to Dallas

So we set it up for me to come out to Dallas for a visit of 10 days to see how well JJ n I would get along on a bit longer time scale. Things went really well. I got to meet all of his friends, his sister and her family, and he showed me a bit around Dallas. I had a blast.

Here are some pictures of us at Gloria's where we had drinks with his friend Jon and his girlfriend Alma.





oooo kissy kissy... lol

Here are some more from the same night. We went over to Alma's house and talked for a bit.





While I was there, we went to the Dallas Aquarium. This aquarium was unlike any I have ever been to, and I wouldn't really call it an aquarium. It was more like a zoo, very little fish displays. I was saddened and disappointed. But anyways, here are the pictures I took there.

























Us in the shark tube viewing area thingie... Ignore how I look....





Here are some pictures of buildings that I thought were interesting. I took these after we got out of the aquarium.





During my trip out there the weather was beautiful so we took a ride on JJ's motorcycle. Silly us forgot to take pictures til we got home and it was dark... LOL







I had a blast out in Sachse, Texas. So I decided to move out and give it a shot. Next blog to be of the trip out to Texas.

Meeting JJ

So I met JJ online on a MMORPG, World of Warcraft. He had been out in LA for an installation for his job. So I decided to go out and meet him. Here are a few pictures of what I looked like when I went to met him for the first time in person.

Okay, first pic I think was the best but the lighting wasnt right....



Then the rest, I dunno what JJ saw in me....









But he musta saw something... I dunno. But things went well and we set it up for me to come out to the Dallas area to see where he lived and if it was a possibility....

Pool fun with Auntie Trish

Here are some pictures of Matthew and I in mom's pool. Not quite sure when these were taken, but I think it was shortly after Grammy and Aunt Barb's visit.

Matthew in his adorable one piece swimsuit that has floating pieces in it, kind of like a life vest... only in a one piece! LOL



Here we are playing around in the pool.
