Sorry to all of my faithful blog readers for having nothing new up here in this last 2 weeks! It has been an INSANE transition back into school--pretty much there was no transition....it was more like diving into the new quarter head-first with no chance to get acclimated to life here in LA again after vacation. I returned to Pasadena to three new classes and a ton of special Presbyterian events that we had last week--including Denise's ordination to the office of minister of the word and sacrament! This quarter I'm taking Youth Outreach & Evangelism, Homiletics (preaching), and American Presbyterian History--all 3 of which should be wonderful based on the first week and a 1/2 of class. I'm sure I have more thoughts about class--but I'm kind of tired right now, so those will have to wait :) Below are photos from New Year's Eve, and also from The Getty Museum here in LA--I had never been here before, but this weekend I met my aunt and cousin there for a day and had a wonderful, relaxing time wandering around and taking photos.
Ok this wasn't actually from new year's--it was from the Minneapolis airport...did you know that you can now buy ipods and all the various accessories from a vending machine??! That's right, you stick your credit card in, and out comes an ipod...what will they think of next??
Me, Darbee, and Heather hanging out--so they are really good at conserving energy, but that translated to Sarah being freezing for the whole time I visited them! 
Missy and Darbee practicing for midnight--we had all the sparklers still left over from Jean and Josh's wedding (over a year and a 1/2 ago) so we discovered you can get them to stick in the fire logs and do sparklers in the fire place--it was very festive!

The Los Angeles valley--I seirously don't think I have ever seen it this clear!
They had these amazing Birds of Paradise there, so I got several fun pictures of them!
And, my favorite photo of the day:
Emrys really likes your pictures and that's saying something cause he's a good photographer (and I like them too).
