The Lake House...

I had the awesome opportunity to visit one of my longest standing friends (nearly ten years) in Oregon. We had some amazing adventures fishing, hiking, capturing video and pictures, cooking, boating, and of course watching the season finale of IDOL....

Fishing...We grilled up the trout minutes after we caught it and it was delicious! Wallowa Lake...

Hiking...

The view from the deck....heaven.

Wallowa Lake...

Plantoon (sp?) boating...

The backyard...

It was fantastic to not l have to worry about any deadlines or schedules and just enjoy the great outdoors. The scenery was truly beautiful and these pictures hardly attempt to do it justice....

Thanks Chaunce for an amazing time and the R&R!

A week of "lasts"....

Here are some of the final "lasts" that I had here in Freso....at least the ones I was required to document by my roomates....
The last all-nighter hair dye party... The last "girls" dinner....

The last BBQ....

The last roomate "action"...

I heart Fresno.

NAMI 5K...

The Rehab Team from Fresno State University...

Two of my favorite fellow rehabbers: My recruitment coordiator and the President of the RCSA...I love you girls!!!

Warming up....

Stretching....

Our Rehab Booth...

So the volunteer organization I work with through the rehab program decided to get a team together to participate in the 5K for the National Alliance for Mental Illness which is a nationwide organization that helps to raise awareness about mental health...We had a great time! Also two of my friends Daini and Atoinette came with me as well! Thanks for supporting!

Sushi and Karaoke...and amazing Friends.

Ok so everyone knows that my favorite night out is sushi and karaoke...so my awesome friends put together a little shindig at Sushi 80's the weekend I left Fresno so I could say goodbye to everyone. We had a blast !!! Melissa pulled out her mullet for the special occasion (I feel so loved :) )...I was suprised at how many of my friends actually got up on stage to sing. I think there was around 20-25 of us there and all but about 5 actually got up to sing! I am so impressed by their bravery....

Melissa is definately not a fan of sushi.

Blair loves having his nose picked...kinky.

THESE GIRLS ARE INCREDIBLE...my heart pumps for them.

My valiant HT....

Everyone minus five or six who had to leave early...

The "Mormon boys" were impressive with their harmonizing....

Yay Daini and Chris are finally dating!!! All of those bike rides finally paid off!!!

This was John soliciting himself and trying to get action...

My favorite Julie!!!

I think everyone had a fantastic time and I want to say thanks for my amazing friends for planning, implementing and coming to party with us!!! I love them all and I am definately going to miss times like this....

Time to say goodbye...

Fresno 3rd Relief Society....well actually only about 1/3 of them...It was Mother's Day.

Here is my biking partner on the left and my raquetball partner on the right....I will miss these guys.

Me with my roomate Katy.....I have had such a great time serving in Relief Society with her.

My roomates have decided they are going to document all of my "lasts" this week. This is perhaps one of the saddest for me...my last week in Fresno 3rd Ward. Words can't express how much I will miss them and especially the fantastic Relief Society...
