The time is finally here!

Well, the day is finally almost here. I can honestly say that I'm beyond excited, nervous, anxious, happy and sad all at the same time. I'm so thankful for all that I've been able to do the last couple of months while I've been getting ready to leave. I just thought I'd share a little bit with you guys. 

First off, at the end of March my amazing family all got together to celebrate my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary!! It was a wonderful weekend and I can speak for everyone we all had a blast and made memories that will last a life time. Congrats again Grama & Grampa, I love you both very much.

The month of May was really busy and went by way too fast. It started out with a trip down to Palm Desert and Newport Beach with my parents. We started with a baseball game in Rancho Cucamonga and finished with another in Fresno. In between those two games, we spent some time in Palm Desert, got to see Jeff the Bestest :) in Long Beach, caught up with some of my parents' friends from Orange, and took a walk on the beach in Newport Beach. It was a great time and I think we all wished it would have lasted longer.

About a week after we got back was "Tee" Day! For most of March, all of April, and half of May, I was helping out with the Make Dreams Real Golf Tournament. It was an amazing experience and I had a great time learning all kinds of things and doing what I love. If you want to learn more about the Make Dreams Real Endowment Fund I attached the link, so you just have to click on the name. Everything went pretty smooth and everyone had a great time. This year was extremely successful too.

After the tournament was over, the Corporate Challenge took place for The First Tee of the Central Valley. It was another great event with a good turn out. The kids all had a wonderful time watching all the exciting play. 

The next day I headed up to Angels Camp for the Frog Jump and the destruction derby. Our family was cheering Party Artie on!! Party Artie was driving the family sponsored car which took third place and was awarded the most aggressive driver!! Artie definitely had the best hit of the whole derby. Congrats to everyone involved!

Next on the calendar in May was getting to see my beautiful cousin graduate from high school! Taylor graduated from St. Mary's in Stockton and we couldn't be more proud. Everyone had a great time at the graduation party too. 

Last but not least in May, I got to help celebrate the 3rd birthday of the cutest little girl I know. She was surrounded by most of her family and lots of bubbles and cake pops :) I was certainly blessed being able to see my family as much as I have the last few months. It was wonderful.

My last weekend in California was definitely one for the memory books! I was able to do things that I love to do, see things that I love to see and spend time with those I love to spend time with. I got to catch up and hang out with one of the coolest people I know, Ms. Natalie. She is spending some time at Berkeley this summer and came all the way from Singapore so we got to spend the weekend together. We got to take in TWO Giants games, (They won both btw!) spend some time with my family, and check out Half Moon Bay and Ghirardelli Square for ice cream!! It was so much fun and the weather couldn't have been better! Miss you Nat.


That's a little catch up on my life since March, its been crazy busy, yet so much fun at the same time. I'm thankful for all the time I've been able to spend with everyone. I'm sad for the things that I'm going to miss out on while I'm gone but I'm going to do my absolute best to keep in touch. I look forward to seeing everyone when I get back. I'll try to post again soon.
