... home and at school, makes us believe that financial and societal stability should reign the world. Money and status become the bottom line. We start believing that only a few have the potential to live out their childhood dreams and that the rest of us should be satisfied with a menial life. <br><br> We deceive ourselves into believing that those dreams are childish and irrational and that life is good even without fulfilling these dreams. We ...

... after Louisiana but haven't gotten too much further than that. I do know that we'll probably be making 2 stops in Texas (Dallas and then Midland where we'll be able to stay with Chrystal) and then back to Lake Elsinore. I know we'll be needing to make a stop or 2 in between Texas and Cali I'm just not sure where yet.<br><br>So that's it so far. I hope you continue to check up on our blog once our road trip starts! We should be posting often. Thanks for all your support! =D<br><br>-Sunny <br>

I had made many a trips to Big Bear during the snowboarding season being that it is really the only place you can do a day trip from Vegas. However a few times we got the luxury of having a place to crash for the night. Only Teresa and I would somehow manage to be able to make a crash pad out of Oscar de la Hoyas Big Bear cabin and training compound. The two of us and usually 15 or so of the worlds best fighters under one roof..... we consider ourselves very lucky ladies :)

After a long day of getting out of the apartment (painting, cleaning, visiting friends, and of course some necessary last minute shoe shopping) we finally left San Diego at 9:30 at night! Good thing we only had to drive to just outside L.A. to Lish's friend Patrick's house, where we spent the night and left the baby boy Mishka to be well taken care of by Patrick until we get settled in VA and can come back and collect him.

... past that I saw sunrises - but this one was a beautiful cross between a sunrise, a rainbow, and a sunset. I grabbed my camera and started shooting... An hour or so later, my phone rang, and it was my Cousin Amy, speaking quietly, not at all her usual, animated style. She had just received a call from her sister Adele in Wilmington, NC, that their Mother, my Aunt Adele, had just passed on ...

... always do a great job of taking "formal" photos, along with a few during the evening. Will attach a few of the pictures from last year's party, until we get this year's back. Unfortunately, my knee was hurting enough that we only managed one slow dance, but it was a great evening, anyhow! The next afternoon, we cleared our heads ...

... Ha! ENGLISH: Once in 2 weeks, we used to have an evening off from camp, for the whole 6 hours. I had arrived to the camp 3 days before and already had the time off, that others had been waiting for 2 weeks. The night was a madness, and included: shopping in a mall, a dinner at a restaurant, drinks at a pub and for some of us - a movie theatre. We got back to camp at 1 am. Ha!

I grew up seeing images of starving children in Africa on t.v. I'm bombarded with them all the time by the media. The images of a world so different than mine have always been interesting, but never engaging. This weekend, I get to go to that far away world where children have been living on rice and chicken feed and don't own a pair of shoes. I get to meet kids who, until three years ago ...

... trip to the bakery for brekkie; the 8.30 ferry; a very interesting chat with a nice Swiss/Italian lady on board who spends 6 months of every year in Belize; a surprisingly easy and painless trip to American Airlines to pick up Jon's tickets; a box of cornflakes (finally gotten around to buying myself a plastic bowl! finding milk however was a bit of a mission - people looked at me so strangely for asking if they sold it, but got there in the end) and a chow mein (another mission ...
