sneak peak…
For those of you who don’t know, i’m visiting my home town (where I was born) and family in which I haven’t seen or been here in 13 years). Here are some pictures (mainly for mom) that I’m throwing up while I have internet.
my home town:
Check out what I found from the album:
here’s where i grew up for my first 6 years (my father still lives there)
this is the little school i went to when i was 4,5 or 6

although the population is about 300, check out this view:
sorry that it isn’t upright (i have limited internet here), but check out this old photo:
and this was our family dog, princess (oh, the memories)
.. and this is one of the highlights of the trip (the gooooood food):
and before I bring out all the other pictures,
here is a picture of my randfather (left) and father (right).

One of the beautiful things I have had the opportunity to do is visit family and that has been absolutley beautiful. In my next post, I’ll be talking about the beautiful ladies that I grew up with (my cousins) and where they are now, top pictures from the trip, and what I got out of this trip. Tomorrow… we go to the Sacramento ATF.
YEA!…Sacramento ATF!! What What!!
Oh by the way, the red little suit you had on….I made it all by myself, tie and all. You see the shoes? Do they bring back memories? Braces? I look forward to seeing the rest of the Pics. Papa said that you would make a great journalist, awsome tool to spread the gospel. Love Mom and Papa
