I have some family on my mom’s side too but my uncle and his family live in Portland Oregon so we don’t get to see them as often. We usually just see them every couple years for the holidays or just because we haven’t seen them in a while. It was amazing seeing my aunt […]

I love going to visit amusement parks with friends and family and I get to bring back new memories each time. One thing I love about the amusement parks I went to is that there the rides are all really fun but they also help me get over my fear of heights. Each of the […]

My absolute favorite part of camping are the campfires and to me it doesn’t feel like camping if we can’t have any campfires. Ever since I was little I have always loved the way campfires looked, the warmth they give, and just the way they move. I have a certain routine when I camp to […]

Every year my entire family on my dad’s side takes a week long trip to Santa Cruz. It is our annual vacation because my great grandparents had gone there for their anniversary every year and the family wanted to keep that tradition.

I finally passed my drivers permit test and now I can move on to the next step of driving. It only took me two times to pass which I feel is pretty normal. The first time I kind of rushed through it because I felt like I knew every question but I guess I didn’t. […]

On June 22nd, 2024 there was a martial arts tournament at another big high school. This tournament was fun but a little different than what I am used to. Not as many people were wearing gis and were just wearing t-shirts with pants or shorts. I know most of the people were there just for […]

Every year and over all the summers since I was in 7th grade all my friends would go to the American river to swim and hangout. We would go as much as 2 times a week. We just loved swimming and being at a beach since we aren’t close enough to an actual beach. We […]

IMG_2823 The tournaments that are hosted at my dojo are really fun and I think I only missed a couple since I started at the dojo almost 8 years ago. They are smaller than other tournaments hosted in high schools but they are a good size just for practice tournaments. Sometimes they are a little […]
