Labor Day 2008 !!!!

Angelo and I went to Millerton Lake with the Erese Family this past weekend. We had such a wonderful time. A few things happened, we had a great game of golf with Fred and Tyler. What bites is that 7 year old is kicking my but on the course! He has a future in golf! Second we (Angelo & I) hung out for a couple of hours at Winchell's cove on the lake. The day was so hot 107 to be exact and just swam and soaked up some rays while enjoying absolute silence! On Sunday we all went to the lake and Mag would boat groups of us to the other side and we found our own private beach. We had most of the niece *& nephews with us and some family friends. We rode the jet ski and wake boards. I do not know how to put into words how sore Fred and I are after being on the jet ski or was it the wake board that cause us to feel so sore. Needless to say it was so awsome, we batted some balls and threw the football around and swam for 8 hours! It brought back so many memories of my childhood growing up on the lake.

Lets talk about Mexico!

So check this out, on my last day of work, an unfortunate/fortunate event happened that shortened my day and I decided to drive down to San Diego to see Maura & Brandon! We kinda sat and chatted for a while then decided to go to Tiajuana. Ok so there was no sign or any persons that came on the bus and said "you can not come back into the United States without a passport, so i thought we would be ok. Wrong, you must have a copy of your birth certificate to accompany our drivers license to get back in if you do not have your passport. We were so suprised and not scared but beside ourself with the thought of not being accepted back to the US. I was laughing at this irony and Maura styarted to pray and truthfuly I thought Brandon was going to have a heart attack.

So it was not all bad, we got some really cool stuff over there and not sure but I think we had chicken tacos, or so we hope that is what we ate! We had a great time and we saw some very strange things like a truck driving down the street with 3 guys in the back weilding M-16 rifles. They looked like they were on a witch hunt and it was a bit uncomfortable. Overall we had some great laughs and even better discussions about life and our pursuit in it! Love you guys and I am so glad to have had the chance to see you both.

New Begining

Alright Hi Everyone-

So I am way behind on whats going on out here in California. First I was still being treated so in-humane by my boss at Walker Zanger so I said "Van , you have one week to get a new Job and get away from this type of people and get out from her control" she was one of those power control freaks and no one could do anything better than she did! She could not accept responsibility or say she was sorry. She was the type to humiliate you in front of people with no remorse. With no regard for human life or any idea what it means to mentor someone! Anyway i found a new job 3 days later and I knew then that it was meant for me to get out out of there. What is weird is that I look back now and think about how the executives would act at work and I am very embarrassed for them. So I am glad to be moving on to a new chapter in my life!
