I Love SB!

I love coming home to Santa Barbara because it is always so nice to see the crew. This time was especially nice because I hadn't been home in over two months. I was able to catch up with so many good friends over breakfast/lunch/dinner/drinks/whatever.

POKER!!! I love playing poker, and I've been playing with some of these guys for a while now. Every time I'm in SB I try to get in on a game or two.

It's not the hand that you're dealt...
...but how you're playing your cards!

Hanging out with all of my friends from high school is also a must! I am SO excited for my cousin Heidi and her husband TJ and the bun thats in the oven. It was cool to chat with TJ. He's really stoked about becoming a dad this summer (I know he will be a really good  at it).

I've been friends with Brandon for so long, and I love hanging out with him. I really enjoy seeing Nicole too :)

My older brother Daniel is SO classic! He's not that into photos, but everyone else in the family is a photographer, so he has to be in photos all the time. Sometimes he's like, "no, get out of here." and other times he'll just play along and do something funny for the camera. 

My mom and dad ALWAYS hook it up huge too. My mom made a salad one of the days I was in town that was straight money! My dad took Brandon and I golfing which was pretty fun. I don't know how many balls I lost in the bushes or in the lake, but I feel like it was a lot. My dad has this thing with hiding money too. He helped clean my car, and when I was on the way home there was a $20 in the ash tray! About a week later I found another $20 in one of my camera bags. It's kinda fun though. It's like when you put on a pair of jeans and find money in the pockets. Good times!

Sandy! She's wild and crazy, but a very nice dog.
