The Big 22 and Thanksgiving on the West Coast

My 22nd was enjoyed by 20 of my closest friends and I aboard a Johnson Bus to see my favorite band The LoveMonkeys at Rooters. It was definetley one of the best birthdays I had...not to mention I danced on stage, played the guitar, and had an all around awesome night with some of my BFF's.

The family and I treked to Laguna Beach, CA for the Thanksgiving holiday. Seeing the show Laguna Beach showed the city as very beautiful, and it was just as beautiful in person. Makes me want to live by the ocean. We also visited Newport Beach, LA, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach. Laguna was pretty-but definetley too ritzy for me. It is an awesome outlet for the arts, but unless I'm carrying a Louis Vuitton bag, driving a Mercedes and wearing UGG's...I don't think I belong there. Santa Monica is much more my flavor and wish we would have spent more time there.

Back to reality and that means finals! But first is 3020's annual Xmas party...and some quality 3020 time when we go ice skating downtown, our Secret Santa gift exchange, and just chill out before out party. Can't wait til winter break to be able to de-stress, do more beading, see my hometown friends, work more, and get on the beach in FL!

Until then-wish me luck on finals- and cheers!
