Clockwise from top left: Me, Erdman, Biniak, Stanford, Roland, Cao, and Cheri. All of us, except for Cheri, were in Comm School together (X-Dash!!)  and we had a great time together at Lake Havasu.  The trip had been in planning for months and was perfect for our time at school and for the end of Cheri's senior year.  Despite the difficulties getting there, our time in Arizona rocked, and the tradition of spaghetti for breakfast will forever be honored in Lake Havasu!!

Stanford and I were walking around Lake Havasu the last day we were there the first time we went when i saw this setting.  I stopped on London Bridge and took this picture, just because I knew no one would want to listen to me describe it for them.  Still, the picture does the scene no justice, and I have yet to see such an awe-inspiring sunset since then. 
Walking along the channel gave us some pretty interesting sights, but this one caught my eye for the artistic purposes.  The London Bridge spans the channel between mainland and the island, and shelters the shops frequented by spring breakers in havasu.  The clouds added a somber feel to the picture, but the mood in Havasu is anything but somber. 
I don't know everyone's names, but I'm sure Cheri does.  This was at her prom at the House of Blues in Disneyland with Me and Stanford standing in as the Marines in uniform for her.  Cheri and I are on the far right, her in the dress she designed herself.  We took this one outside the rainforest cafe, just before Stanford and Micah went swing dancing to the band just behind us in the picture.  It was quite the sight and drew quite the crowd. 
As Kathleen would say, I Heart Licorice.  After a very nervous time at prom, i finally lightened up on the way home, much to Cheri's pleasure, and even shared a piece of licorice with her.  Nathan did a really good job of getting me to laugh, and we finally started having a really good time.  This has been noted as one of the best pictures I have of myself by just about everyone I know, and I agree.
