Let Me See Your Grill

This past weekend Y, BD and I visited our friend DJS in Tuscon. It was the perfect trip for me. Lately, I've been kind of weighed down by school and boy drama, so getting away was nice in and of itself. But, what was even better was spending such a fun, relaxing time with friends. I laughed the entire weekend and got to sleep lots. And everyone knows laughter and sleep is good for you! Also, we got to spend some time out in the desert where I got TONS of (what I hope will be) great desert shots. And, the weather was abnormally warm so it felt like summer.

Today I feel rested and clear-headed. Rejuvenated and grounded. Which is good because I have a big test tomorrow!

Here's one photo from my little camera. Photos from my big camera will have to wait until after my test. And here's a brief recap of some of the Tucson happenings.
