Real World Tahoe

"This is the true story of eleven friends picked to rent a house and enjoy an awesome tahoe wedding. Find out what happens when people stop being boring and start getting real..."

One of the more memorable weekends I have had in a long while. Why? I wasn't at school. I was just able to relax and breathe in life with close friends. Thankfully, we all made time to be there to share in the beauty of Hong's and Keith's Wedding. Truly, every minute seemed a special memory to savor, whether it be Macho grilling ribeyes to Keith being all stealth from the mezzanine to the memory cards waiting for us at our seats at the wedding reception to fruit being thrown around the house to the Niners winning to Steamers tacos and one deep-fried burrito to many blue moons and Guiness to spooning to late nights of reminiscing.

I appreciate all of you who could be there to share with me those four days.

Padilla Reunion

Our family tried to have a huge Padilla reunion, and many people came far and wide. Although many loved ones were too far away or no longer with us, I found it to be a great chance to remind myself how lucky I am to share so much with so many other people. Here's a glimpse of most of us who were lucky enough to attend... I wonder if a picture like this could ever happen again...
