2.5 months in pictures

Well the New Year started off here:
And I saw a TON of friends and family including:
When I got back to Bakersfield I found out about this:
February was very busy. In the beginning of the month I traveled for the first time to Vail, CO for a quick weekend that included:

(Giants win Super bowl 42!!!!!!!!)

Then in the middle of February, Lindsey and I traveled north to San Francisco to visit my friend John from Penn State (who now goes to Berkeley for grad school):

(Union Square)(Chinatown)(above is Alcatraz)

At the end of the month, Marc finally made a visit out... even though it was only a couple of days:
That's pretty much my life summed up into pictures. Last weekend I went to a teaching conference in Anaheim with Lindsey. The 3rd grading quarter just ended on Friday and I put all of my grades in already. This week I am off for spring break - pretty nice having a whole week off, hm?? Erica is coming to visit tomorrow and she'll be staying until next Monday. I'm super excited. I've got lots of plans including Hollywood, LA, various beaches, Disneyland and Vegas. Hopefully I will be better with updating now that I've got a handle on school.

I miss everyone very much, but I'll definitely be back east in July!
