Justyn Other Adventure

In less than 12 hrs, I'll be leaving on a plane to Europe! =D I'm beyond excited. I love traveling. I love experiencing different cultures and trying the exotic foods, (honestly... I cannot wait for the food!) and the best part, the cherry on top is that I get to travel because of music. I'll be journeying for two weeks across the pond with Mt. Sac Chamber Singers and Singcopation. Our mission: Compete at the 2nd European choir games in Magdeburg, Germany... and kick butt! We're going to be doing a lot on this tour. Before we reach the actual competition, we'll be detouring to Poland for most of the two weeks. While there, we'll perform at a local jazz club, we'll meet up with Riverside Community College Chamber Singers and perform with them, and we'll see the sights of Krawkow, Poinitowa and Warsaw. It's going to be a tour packed with so many amazing things and I thank God for giving me an opportunity like this to see His world and His creatio...

I love the beach. I love the smell of the ocean, the coolness of the water, and hearing the waves crash on the shore. I even love the sand, even though it gets everywhere. I've always loved going to the beach and being by the water, but what always draws me in and keeps me coming back is being able to share it with people I love. In my experience, the beach has always been a place where bonding is inevitable. No matter who you go with, your relationship with that person just grows stronger. Chalk it up to the atmosphere and being surrounded by nature, or maybe it's because you're not glued to your techie device. Whatever it is, God has used this setting in my life to appreciate him more and help make me love Him and his creation more.  I had the privilege of driving out to Seal Beach last weekend to spend the day with my cousins on my Dad's side of the family. I'm the second oldest of the grandchildren, my sister being the first. I've grown up with these...

 Lia "my girl" Marsh, now Lia "still my girl" Booth One of my best friends married a very funny, smart, creative and talented young man. She herself, amazingly talented, was as beautiful as ever as I watched from afar. To be completely honest, I walked in late... I know, :/ but I came from work and there was traffic. (Especially heading East to Riverside at around 3pm) Excuses aside, I missed the bridal march, but I made it just in time for the part where they combine the two sands into one as the live band and guest singer performed "My Funny Valentine." I didn't miss the vows though! I was so glad I made it for the vows. Cameron and Lia promised personal vows and you could see how much they loved each other as they smiled brightly the entire time. The wedding was held at a house in Riverside. I had heard prior to the wedding that they had invited over 200+ people to the big event. I didn't believe it at first, but then I got there and I was co...
