West Palm Beach

Howdy all! I'm here in West Palm Beach, FL and loving it. The weather is perfect and so is the company. We've just been chillin', swimmin, and watching movies since we got here...its great. Monday was our first full day here when we picked up Rob and finally had our full compliment of craziness.

Yesterday (Tuesday) we did some tanning yesterday and then some napping and then we went go karting!! And played laser tag and video games at a local arcade! It was fun!!!

We've all been sharing the duties as far as cooking which has been a lot of fun. As I type, Greg just put down a huge plate of waffles that smell really good. I made tacos and spanish rice monday night, Ashleigh made amazing baked ziti last night, and a combined effort for steak/shrimp/and veggie skewers are on tap for tonight. And of course...Rob is bartending... :-)

Oh, I seem to have forgotten the transfer cable for my digital camera, so my photos may be limited till after I get back, but we did buy a waterproof camera that has yielded some really great pictures. Blogger is being weird right now, but I'll post some later. As for me, I'm off to shower, I think we're going to the Palm Beach Zoo today!!

Goin South

Hello there faithful readers!

I haven't written in a while due to a lack of travel, but that is all about to change. Tomorrow I jet off to West Palm Beach, FL for my spring break vacation...with my boyfriend and my three best buddies!! There will be lots of stories and pictures I'm sure, so stay tuned for the next week or so for those.

There may also be a trip up to New York City in the works for this summer combined with a lil trip to visit the relatives.

And this is a bit far off, but I'll go ahead and intrigue you with it...I'll be headed off to CHINA next summer!! I was recently selected as a Kirk Scholar, which at my university means that I will spend the next year studying Mandarin Chinese and then the university will pay for me to go to China! I'll be visiting places like Beijing, Shanghai, and Suzhou, all while studying Chinese language and culture. Not too shabby, eh?

Happy Trails!!
