This is Chris Medina. I knew him in high school. We had mutual friends and he was in some bands that I would go out and see every weekend. Life just takes you different routes – he’s a great musician and an all around great guy and really an inspiration to everyone. I’m praying he’ll do well this season and we’ll be watching him every step!
Side Note: This will be the only season of American Idol I’ve ever watched! Way to go Chris for making that happen!
Check him out and root for him!

A great friend of the QP’s did a photoshoot of me right before Christmas. Thought I’d share some of the best with the QP readers!
All photos taken and edited by the gorgeous Jaqueline Stahl!
We actually took some 400 pictures but narrowed it down to 100 or so. Though I can’t upload all of them these are a few of my favorites.

First off HAPPY 2011! Hope everyone had a wonderful one and made it back to wherever it is they went.
I embarked on the first leg of my MidWestAdventure2010 Trip on the evening of December 19th, 2010. As if the holidays aren’t stressful enough throw in holiday travel and your blood pressure meter will explode. However, other than the common delay I have never had a stressful trip. This year I was taking many modes of transportation to make the yearly Christmas/New Year’s trip.
The first of these modes was by plane. I was booked on a Southwest flight at 7pm on Sunday night. Granted the beginning of Christmas week, but I was still not very nervous about this situation. This also marked the first time I was checking a bag. Yes, you heard right. The very first time I was EVER checking a bag on an airplane. So, Andrew dropped me at LAX at 5:45 pm. Plenty of time, right? I checked my bag and was through security by 6:00pm. No joke. LAX knows their stuff, they get you in and out. I’ve flown on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and have never encountered any issues with LAX or whatever flight I am on. I find out I’m at Gate 1 – how perfect! So I walk on down the ramp…
…And realize the flight is delayed by 30 minutes. This is a common occurrence for me at LAX. I always take it with a grain of salt though. I mean it is LA afterall, right? I made use of my time by reading and listening to music and eventually it was time to board. Southwest is one of my favorite airlines to fly. They give snacks! No not just peanuts – SNACKS! And good ones too. You know, 100 calories packs. They also refill drinks and are just generally very nice people to fly with. Plus if you ever, EVER have an issue – just call them and chances are they’ll give you a credit towards another flight. The flight itself was smooth and I ended up falling asleep for most of the ride.
Both Southwest and LAX are very accomidating and this first leg of my trip went swimmingly!
Stay tuned for more reviews of transit reviews!

(title translation: my trip to Mexico was the MAX!)
This holiday season I jetted off traveled to the homeland to celebrate Navidad with the familia. It consisted A LOT of eating delicious homemade (by my beautiful abuela Margarita) 
Mexican food, hanging with cows, dogs, horses, drug mafias new friends we fear, and my totally dysfunctional but AMAZING family.
Trip started off with my grandma hovering over my hotel bed in San Antonio (where I flew into) with what I thought, and still claim were tears in her eyes. And it ended with those same tearful eyes but this time mine too. It was a beautiful trip, taking me back to my roots and really showing me how blessed I really am.
Would I go again? Probably not any time soon, one drug mafia scare is enough. But who’s to say that I won’t again in the future. <3
xoxo
