hello.sunshine: The first bonfire of the summer.

so yesterday i had my annual bonfire. ever since summer of 2007 i've just ended up hosting a bonfire each summer. i think it has become a tradition. i would say that i've gotten tired of being the host over the years, but last night made the stress and organization worthwhile. over 70 people showed up last night! i don't know about you, but for a small get together it turned into a huge success. it was beyond my imagination to see so many of my friends in the same place at the same time. from high school to college, i've grown to build many friendships with all sorts of people and having seen them all there last night, i felt blessed. i probably made it awkward when i kept on thanking so many of them and telling them how much i appreciated them coming out. it just made me realize how blessed i am to have so many people to turn to. i know it's corny, but to tell you the truth, last night i looked at the entirety of my group out there together and i could say that about 85% of them at least, i am able to turn to when i need help or just someone to talk to which is a whole lot more than what some people can say.

this is a shout out to everyone who made it out to the bonfire and helped contribute to it! could not have done it without you guys! <3 Michelle//Gwen //Lily//Sami //Steven //J-Tron//Kelly //Iris //Clarisa //Corey//Jay //Acacia //Shai//Andrew //Justin //Josue VW//Marielle//Jacob //Bernadette //Jessica //Inanta//Stephany //Levi//Jon Rojas//Alex//Alisha//Leah //Darlene //KP//Chris Chen//Chevail//Jose//Devin//Maila//Nick//Tiff Chau//Tiff Chen//Mitch//Roch//Javin//Jason//Chris Chen//Greg//Cody//Monique//Michael//Hoff//Robert//Alicia//Chris Alanis//J-Mike//Bryan//Eric//Ryan//Brian and to whoever else came [sorry if i forgot your name]
