So, I have gone a couple of months without updating readers about my daily goings-on; I took this summer to focus on myself, take care of my health and spend time with my family. It has been a long while since anyone has asked me to report on how I have spent my summer vacation,

So is my blog! If you scan your eye-line there across my banner, you’ll see a new tab. Say hi, be nice. I decided to create a photography page because I had a lot of fun in the past year developing this new skill beyond fitting all my friends in a frame so we could

My high-school Spanish teacher junior and senior year had a big influence on my continuation of Spanish study and ultimately coming here for full on immersion. His passion for the language, culture and history of his destination summer home carried those who chose to continue on to AP classes on to further discovery. After our
