What a weekend (so far)…Stuart, Tyler, Sara, Leslie, Ananda, Cara, Christina and I headed up to Hesperia (in the high desert) for Jessica’s birthday last night. After a great dinner, we spent the evening at Jessica’s house (yes, HER house! Lucky girl!), star gazing, conversing, and enjoying eachother’s company. I’ve posted some pictures below. I’m not really a fan of the high desert–except the Joshua Trees. I couldn’t help but think of the U2 album each time I saw one.

Anyway, I’ve been blessed with these friends SO much! Great times…now it’s time to finish up homework so that I can enjoy my Sunday!

Roommates–Leslie, Sara, Ananda and Lesa 

From what I understand, Joshua Trees are only found two places in the world–California and Israel. Awesome!

Instead of snow plowing, they have sand/dirt plowing.  

Coming down from the High Desert the view was much better!  

On the way out of the desert…

Well, I now have 50 invites to Gmail–which is seriously the BEST email server I’ve ever experienced! So, if you’d like to try it out, leave a comment. I have 50!

My brother is coming home for 30 days tomorrow!! He broke his arm (near his shoulder), so he is coming home to heal for 30 days. Woo hoo! I can’t wait to talk to him!
