Self Defense Class

Last weekend I met up with the Ticktockers at a Tae Kwon Do Center to learn how to defend our selves. It was very interesting and I learned all about the key points to hit if you are attacked. However, I really think the key to being "defensive" is simply by not being alone and also don't go out at night by yourself. I think I have to stay with this advice instead of testing my luck because I wasn't exactly the strongest in the bunch!

Hiking in Thousand Oaks

I must admit, I have fallen behind on my postings...I have just been soo busy with school! So I guess I have some catching up to do. Well, two weeks ago, Evan and I went on a beautiful hike. We bought a hike book with 82 trails, and we have made it our goal to each one! Sadly, we have only done two so far. Anyways, it was a wonderful trip, except for the heat. We saw a constructed teepee, a creek, and an actual waterfall. I was so surprised because there has been a terrible drought all year. We had a lot of fun until I got overheated and nearly passed out on the trail- oh joy! It was quite the adventure, but we got home safely in the end!

Ticktocker Sleepover

Last weekend I had a great time with the girls at our annual Ticktocker sleepover. At the beginning we had two college speakers give us a presentation about scholarships, funding, and college requirements. Afterward, we conducted our business meeting and had fun just spending time together. We then relaxed at the beach and got some great tanning in. The house where we stayed was beautiful; three stories right on the beach! At night we had a bonfire with smores and we even had home made ice cream. My favorite part was staying up till 2:30 with my friends laughing the night away. In the morning, we enjoyed chocolate chip pancakes and went home!

Finals at Miss Teen California

It's been a while since I've had the chance to update my blog! Things have been pretty hectic going back to school. Finals night at the California International pageants was great; bittersweet but great. Breia Boswell is the new Miss Teen California, Jan Humphrey is the new Miss California, and Stevie McShane is the new Mrs. California. It's going to be a great year!
