This weekend, Brian came to visit Erika. I was looking forward to his visit for two weeks. Erika and I met Brian on our Peru trip, and he took a weekend out of his busy world traveling schedule to come see Santa Cruz. I was excited for Brian to meet Zach and the rest of my friends. Unfortunately, Zach didn't get to hang around too much because he was off to Hawaii to visit his folks.
Saturday night, I rounded up as many people as possible for a night out in Santa Cruz. We started with dinner at El Palomar, and then a stop by Rosie's (Brian is a sucker for those Irish pubs), then played some pool - where I ran into an old friend Laura. We ended up going back to Rosies for dancing. I think we all had a really fun time, and Brian was an instant hit! Kevin and Brian hit it off like old drinking buddies from the start!
I was surprised that everybody else didn't really have a problem understanding Brian's thick Irish accent!
Sunday was a beautiful day, so we went to the beach, and threw the football around, played fetch with the dog, and just sat around talking. What a fun time!

Peru
As most of you know, Erika and I just got back from an amazing trip to Peru. We spent most of our time in Cusco, met some awesome new friends, and did a 4 day trek to end up at Machupiccu. This trip was one of the best experiences of my life and I definitely can't wait to go back.
Here is a small sampling of the over 1000 pictures we brought back with us.
I'll post the complete scrapbook with journal later.

All about me
I originally had this posted in my profile, but it was too long - so I moved it to this post. Here is way to much information you probably never wanted to know about me:
Things I like to do: Snowboard, travel, hike, wakeboard, dance, find new adventures, skateboard, go rock climbing, go camping, read - read - read, sleep in on Sundays, bake cookies and breads and other yummy stuff, take pictures, try to speak Spanish with out sounding like a total idiot, riding 4 wheelers (especially when it's muddy), movies, beat people at air hockey (trust me, you don't stand a chance), cut off my split ends while talking on the phone, playing with fire, play volleyball, organize and reorganize stuff, scrapbooks, of course! jump on trampolines....yeah, I can do cool stuff on a trampoline. I like playing laser tag - especially if Jack and Chase play too, hanging out with friends, going to the flea market - help save it! I like to watch live hockey - Go Sharks! I can always talk about religion and politics and life. I like to wear black clothes (sorry mom, sorry erika - I'll always be fashion challenged), roller coasters (I gotta warn you....I'm a screamer)
Things that I like: the smell of clean sheets, tattoos, earth - lets keep it around for a while - recycle and get carbon neutral, vargas girls, the smell of fresh cut grass, stepping on sprinkler heads, needles going into skin....like tattoos, shots, or drawing blood, going to the dentist, Zach, hats, vampire/warewolf/zombie stories, kung fu movies, chocolate chip cookies for breakfast, sore muscles - because that means I did something to earn it! I like coke slurpees, because there is no carbonation in them. I love cold cloudy days, and I like snow. Sharks - not actually sharks themselves, but learning all about them, I guess. Mountains. Not wearing any shoes - I might be the only girl that hates shoes. Pets - mine and other peoples. I love having my back tickled, probably more than anything in the world, and I could live off of popcorn and strawberries (not necessarily together, but they are my two most favorites). Handwritten letters, cuddling, the song that meadow larks sing in the morning, black and white photography, History (especially US and European history during 1938-1948, and English history from 1400-1500, wild west stuff, and pretty much any history in general) fire places, computers/internet/techy stuff - especially if made by Mr. Jobs! I like inside jokes, of course hopefully you and I have them! Cheese Pizza (thanks to Erin on this one). Keeping in touch (don't be afraid to email me or call me, even if it's been a while) with friends and family.
Favorite Movies: First, and always at the top of my list is the Parent Trap - the old one with Haley Mills. Not the Lindsay Lohan one. I pretty much LOVE movies - just in general, so it has to be pretty bad for me not to like it. But some of those special movies that I could watch over and over again include The Sandlot, Grease, Last of the Mohicans, Resident Evil 2, Shaun of the Dead, The Gods Must be Crazy II, Dirty Dancing, Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Love Actually, Monte Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. Anything with Johnny Depp or Christian Bale. Project Grizzly and the Grizzly Man...as long as I watch em with Zach and Stetson. I always cry when I watch All Dogs go to Heaven. Always. I really like movies that make me think, or that I find myself still mulling around a few days after watching it.
Favorite Books: My all time favorite book is the Fountainhead. I've read it many times. Each time I read it, it's like I figure out something new about myself. Other than that, I am CONSTANTLY reading. Sometimes it takes over everything. If you ever want a recommendation for a good book - ask me!
Favorite Music: I like all music, but especially the kind that makes me want to move! Mostly I listen to Punk, Alternative or Classic rock. But when I'm in a mellow mood, I like to listen to Spanish guitar, or classical music. I think that classical music makes me smarter, even though I know that's a myth. I love it when Zach or Erika sings, especially when they are performing. I can't sing nor can I play an instrument, so I have a lot of respect and admiration for those who do. I love 80's music, I'll even admit to belting it out to country music when I'm alone. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas music. And that's pretty much all I listen to from the day after Thanksgiving until New Years Day. I know that it bugs everyone around me - and to them I say....ba humbug!
Random Question: What kind of fire are you? (I really wanna know the answer, email me and let me know - or post a comment).

Sharks Game
Okay okay, so for months now I've been telling myself to get this blog started. I love reading blog posts from Erika, CJ, and Erin. And I know everybody is waiting to see my Peru pictures (which will be posted soon!) I figure this is a good way to let everyone know what I'm up to.
If your new to blogs, then I recommend you download an RSS reader, I have NetNewsWire, and love it! But then again I'm a total tech-y nerd! Here is more info on RSS readers.
So last night we went to see the San Jose Sharks play. It was an awesome game! The first period was the best the Sharks scored 4 goals in a row and numerous fights broke out. That's really my favorite part of hockey....the fighting.
I'll be sending out an email to let you know when the Peru pictures are up!
