California Dreaming

 I apologize that this is so long but I have lots to be grateful for!
I recently moved to California in August and I live with my Brother and his wife. Above is a picture of us at our first time to Disneyland while I was here. We also celebrated my 21st Birthday.
 I got hired to teach Zumba at the YMCA in Riverside. Complete blessing! Damon goes to the daycare while I teach. I now will start teaching swim and lifeguarding which I'm excited about. The lord loves me alot! 
 This is sweet little Damon. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love him. I can't imagine how it will be with my own family someday. So excited!!
 My sister Sarah and her family came and visited us in Cali. We are visiting the L. A. Temple. Beautiful!!

 Jillian made this for me on my birthday!
This was my setup when I first moved to Cali. It has since changed.

Me and Ryan are weird. I love him:)

But you gotta keep your head up! Woah!!


 
Wow!! Time sure flies when you are having fun! I have not posted on this blog since I returned home from my week of the Miss Arizona Competition! My life has been pretty crazy since that week and I have lots to share! Shortly after I returned home from Miss Arizona I got a job as a busser at Casa Manana which is a Mexican Food Restaurant in Safford where I grew up! The school year as my reing as Miss Graham County I ran as the ASEAC Service Coordinator for Eastern Arizona College and won so I served as Service Coordinator my 3rd year at EAC. Through out this year I had many wild experiences that I would like to share with you! For those that know my brother Ryan Innes is a professional musican and has made a career out of it. He has been in many wonderful competitions throughout his life and has definetely made a name for himself. I'm SOO proud of him and proud to call him my brother. He came up on one competition where he would have the rare chance of opening for the newly found artist, Andy Grammer. I had never heard of this dude. I always heard his song on the radio but I never knew what his name was. When I found out my brother was going to opening up for the dude that sings "But you gotta keep your head up" I told my mom that I was going to do anything that I could to go. It was going to be a once in a lifetime chance to meet this famous dude. Ryan competed against some other bands and won the competition! This means he was going to have the chance up performing at the Stadium of Fire and open up for the "Beach Boys." Kind of a big deal right!! I was going crazy!! Such a proud sister! To make the story short Ryan ended up winning the whole competition and won 10,000. It was a dream to be at his show at Stadium of Fire and a memory I will never forget! Heres some pics to prove it!
