Blog that rocks all blogs

Ok so many things have gone on lately. Unfortunately I haven't had internet so I could upload. This blog is going to be a big one. First off, in case you didn't know I moved to Santa Barbara April 28th. I was able to see everyone in my family before leaving. It was nice. The first stop was visiting My sister Amanda and her husband Chris and little Ethan. It was fun and so sad. It's always hard saying goodbye. Everything started feeling real when we were leaving them. From then on it was difficult leaving everyone. I cried at the drop f a hat. I love them all so much and I wish we could all be together all the time. Amanda and Chris have been a great support over the past 8 years of my life.  Thank you so much for all you guys have done for me over the past almost decade of my life. Your encouragement helped me make possibly the biggest decision in my life. I am so happy and lucky that I have you as family. From the start you have always been there. I love you guys so much.  

These photos are a few from the goodbye.

My parents; what can I say. They have put up with a lot but I am so lucky to have the relationship with them that I do. I love them both so dearly. I am so glad that they helped through everything. They opened my eyes to Brooks and photography in general. They bought my first camera and even the one I have know. They have supported me in every aspect of my life and for that I am grateful. If I didn't have them encouraging me (even this day) I would already be home right now and dropping out of school. It is hard being away and they have helped me stay positive. I love you both. Thank you.

Did I mention that I have the cutest nephew in the world.?

Next was a goodbye with my best friends. Sam (and baby Kendall) and Sydney. They have been with me through thick and thin. We have been friends since the beginning of High School. I love them so much. Its weird not having them here with me.

Emili and Walt (oh and Madison too!!) They are so funny. There are who I visit when I need a break from work or just life in general. It is so easy to relieve stress when I am with them. I always have a blast around them. I love you guys. You are going to be great parents. 

Move day. The car packed up.

When we were packing up the car Luci was curious. She had her ears up and everything. She was so cute I had to take a picture. Weirdly enough I miss her. Everyone talks about their dogs and I only have this picture of her. 

My place. Santa Barbara is so beautiful. It is amazing. I can't believe I live here. It has everything you could possibly imagine. The beach, agriculture, mountains, and blue sky. Expect lots of photos soon.  

We bought these strawberries the other day. I have never tasted anything so good. They were perfect. They were so large and sweet tasting. mmmm...beautiful.

My first apartment made meal. That's right, no fast food for me.
