Ok, my blog posts are getting way out of order. Sorry about that folks.   I graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA on June 21. A lot of my family flew in from GA to celebrate with me ( my mom, sister, cousin and her family).  I had a great time showing them around town and sightseeing. We also went down to the San Diego zoo where my little  cousin Aidan got his face painted. 🙂  We spent part of the week in Oceanside and on my cousin’s last night in town we went for a boat ride and did some whale watching. Truth be told, we didn’t see any whales…but we did see a whole slew of dolphins!!!  I just wanted to let me family know how much it means to me that they all came out to share that special day with me. I have the best family ever!!!
