picture time!







last night i got in a big picture-y mood, and so started posting. however, halfway through the post, my roommates and i started playing apples to apples, and so i didn't feel like finishing it. so before jaci and i begin watching a movie, i'll put some pictures on here.
i'm not sure what the order of these pictures is gonna be, so here goes. the first one is the older melone cousins with nanny and pop-pop. i haven't been to san diego since nanny died, so this spring break should be interesting. i love that picture though - larissa and michelle are clueless, i'm screaming bloody murder, and billy and krista are so cute. it's so strange that now billy has a baby and krista's expecting one - those days on nanny and pop-pop's laps seem not so long ago.
the next two - me as a baby and grace. see any resemblance? i love my dad and i love that baby. my dad is the love of my life.
the next is my roommates. most of these girls i hadn't known until this year, and it's a shame. we're generally similar in some ways, and the ways that we're not aren't an issue. however, ariel's getting married this summer, and jaci won't be returning next year. it's hard to put time into relationships knowing that i won't be seeing them so much.
and the last is a picture of my nuns. the girls who mean so much to me. there's nothing like having friends who have seen you grow up and mature. my memories with them are so numerous, but we all love to sit around and reminisce.
hmm.

sans sarif


i learned today from julia what sans sarif means. graphic design 101. this font is sans sarif. so is the font on my shirt. pretty cool. now i think i'm all smart.
in the world of Grace, she is now sitting up by herself and saying mom-mom-mom. what a cutie. i know that she's being raised with two wonderful parents and in such a good home that kids don't generally get to enjoy anymore. and grandparents and aunts that love her. and the extended family. of course. what a cutie.
my friend ryan emailed me today and told me that it sounded like i'm transitioning into adult life. i got really freaked out, much more than i should have been. i don't know what it is, but that email kinda made me realize i need to start maturing. in 2 years i'll be teaching and i still look like i'm 15. and i still act like i'm in middle school sometimes.
well, life shall go on, and maturing will happen as it always does.

welp. i'm learning the new blogging system. i'm kind of done with xanga (although it does allow for cooler backgrounds), but i need a fresh start, and i wanted something for when i'm in czech.
