Off to Zion

That last post about the recent changes in my life really deserved a lot more attention and details, but I didn't have the time nor the appropriate Internet access. It's too hard to blog from my phone, and I STILL don't have access at my apartment....I hate you AT&T. Boo!

I'm coming to Utah this weekend to join the saints of Zion...jk. Ok not really joking, I'm coming. But I'll sit in my PJ's all weekend and watch conference at home on my parent's bed or big blue canoodling couch, with breakfast on my lap (either Mom's yummy waffles drowning in ooey-gooey maple syrup or Ernie's breakfast sandwich). Yum.

I'll head on over to my mission reunion Friday night and remember those oh so distant, incredible times back in the Baltics. What a sweet treat. i'm even going to go home and look at my mission scrapbook and journal tonight. Sometimes I forget what a miracle that was every single day. I can't believe the things I really did through God's power. Freaking amazing.

Mostly, I'm just stoked to see my family though. I've been sort of homesick for my family lately. I don't get like that very often. It's even more weird though because my brother and sis-in-law just moved to California a block away from me, and I've only really been homesick since they moved here. Is that weird or what? Anywho, it will just be a nice break from the insanity that I call my life.

PS, I'm really lonely. And I've been feeling it a lot lately. I'm surrounded by people all the time. I work to serve others all day every day, but I'm still so lonely. There are a lot of days when I really feel like my life doesn't matter to anybody, not another single human being. Then, somehow, Heavenly Father reminds me that He loves me, and it doesn't really matter too much if I feel like nobody else does. His love sustains me, especially in the deepest darkest times of loneliness. I know it will change, but lately, it's been aching. Significantly.

That's all. Oh, and I have a sinus infection. The first one since I moved to California though. Last winter in Utah I had 5 sinus infections. Gross. I forgot how awful that is. I haven't been able to breath, smell, taste, sleep, think or even remotely focus for the past 2 days.

Sorry, I sound like I'm complaining. I'm not, just stating what's happening in my life right now. On an ending positive note - it's totally gorgeous and sunny outside, 62 degrees, and it's quitting time. Home I go for dinner, sudafed, antibiotics and sleep.

See you soon!

just life

I'm cutting back to part-time in June and moving towards more of an office manager side of things.

I got a part-time/contract job as a wedding florist out of Dana Point.

I'm going to floral design school in Anaheim in June.

My boss almost had a heart attack when I told him. He's better now though.

Um, that's it. I hit a wall, and decided I had to change some things. So I did. And Heavenly Father put some great opportunities in my path. I know He wants us to be happy in our lives and helps us to do so when we put a little bit of faith into action.

Now I need to find a man.

Brian, it's coming...

A couple weeks ago I promised my friend Brian that his special post was coming, one written just for him...well, it's still in the revision stage. But don't worry, it's coming. I promise.



In other news - I took a physical and mental sick day this week. My body refused to function anymore. Monday afternoon it hit me. I just crashed. So I stayed at work til 5, then took off and went home. I lied in bed until Tuesday late afternoon. Literally. A solid 24 hours of just sleeping and recuperating from my life. Let me tell you what, it was fantastic. It made it so much easier to get through the rest of the week. Although I still took a 2 hour nap when I got off work today. Awesome.

We survived the tsunami of 2011. They closed all the beaches in San Clemente today as a precaution and have really just been having big waves and strong currents today. I'm glad we made it, at work today my boss and I asked the magic 8 ball if we would survive, and it said "cannot predict now." We were a little nervous, but since we made it we decided on Monday we probably need to make t-shirts that say I survived the California 2011 Tsunami. ;)

Um, this is random. I'm done.
