Last week in November! (in photos)

I've decided to try to begin weekly photo journals / blogs on things going on in my life. I have a great camera and love to take photos, and I love to write and reflect on my life. So put these two together and this is what you get :)



Me and J-Pizzle-dizzle (aka J.P. Burchett) have a good conversation catching up on significant things going on and what things we got coming up.

My social work Practice III class breaks into small groups in order to talk about GROUPS :) Our groups focus was to highlight the negative aspects of groups / groupwork. I really like this photo. I just did a quick snap almost without looking and I think it captures a lot.


These 2 pictures are in the Practice III classroom. We are writing what each of our respective groups came up with on different characteristics of positive and negative aspects of groups, and leadership traits we thought important in leading groups. Good discussion!

Texas State University's new rock walls / bouldering wall @ our NEW Rec center. Pretty awesome!!!






Me familia! Thanksgiving pictures at my grandparents house (mom's side) in Austin, TX. We had about 15-20 there. I am blessed with a big and good, caring family.

For some reason, I decided to learn all of my cousins middle names. I never learned them before, and was curious.. Middle names include: Katherine, Marybeth, Nathan, Whitney, McAfee, Wade, and Austin. Middle names are fun to learn. Furthermore, I am trying to develop the habit of remembering people's names and greeting people by their name (how they prefer to be called, or how they introduce themselves to me).
















My Chinese family! :) I was graced with two Thanksgiving meals. I am thankful for that! This was traditional thanksgiving food - cooked Chinese style.


This is a picture of a cactus that I thought looked like a heart. Pretty cool!

This morning (Sunday) I went on an early hike in Prospect Park / Purgatory Creek! A new friend, Nikkye Vargus, invited me and another guy named Marcus McMillan (who randomly happens to be a close friend of my fathers) to go on an early hike. And it was a beautiful day for it. It started off cloudy, and we saw a pink and blue sunrise. We had to crawl between some fence lines because they have CLOSED access to a huge portion of prospect park in order to build the highway they have intended to cut over from Wonder World Rd to some point over on RR12. Not a huge fan of that idea... Prospect Park is a wonderful and beautiful place where you don't even feel like your in San Marcos. It was established by the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance (whom I found out also that I know the president of the club, Todd, and Marcus mentioned he helped in the early construction of the paths!). We ended up getting a little lost while in attempts to go around the new fence and we were obviously on someone else's property.

Below is a cool picture of a photo of another camera's screen taking a picture. Nikkye's idea.


Give peace a chance!
