jackson's graduation

It was just so much fun...

Leaving California

33 days and I start my five month adventure through Europe and Israel! Of those 33 days left, I'll be out of California for the vast majority of them.  My number of days left in PV are quickly dwindling down to single digits.

In the next six months I'll be traveling more than I have in my entire life: Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Nevada... then Scotland, England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Italy, Greece, Israel and Palestine.

So long Palos Verdes,

Hello World.

pond exploring

My friend Natalie Pond and I went exploring around a cool church on the cliffs in PV while I was home last week.

two rolls

I shot two rolls of film over spring break. One BW and one color. Comparison:

spring break friends

Spring break was partly about seeing as many people that were in town as possible, but also spending some good quality time with a few people that are my closest friends.  This break was by far the most enjoyable time I've spent back at home since I left for college.  I slept in almost everyday, usually until 2pm or later. Everyday I hung out with my core group of guys that are all still seniors (one junior) in high school, plus got to see tons of friends from my high school class that were also on their college spring breaks.

going home

I'm going home tomorrow for the first time this semester to the most beautiful place in Southern California (yes more beautiful than Santa Barbara).

PALOS VERDES

Leaving PV has made me appreciate it more than ever.  A year ago I couldn't wait to get out, and not look back.  But now that I've been away for so long, I love going home.

I'll have the entire South Bay at my disposal for an amazing five day weekend.

I can't wait to see these three guys, my best friends. I've only got Thursday night with them, and they leave for high school Winter Camp with our church.  But it's going to be a fun night.
