| Wow. Well a whole LOT has happened since my last entry on October 10th.
I had my birthday, which was WONDERFUL. We had a time of sharing with mine and my friends experiences together! A few tears.... totally. After that I got packed and set to move back to CALIFORNIA! God ordained move, let. me. tell. you.
My Life in California
Finding a job was so hard. I had a job with a photographer, but the timing just wasn't right. Then I had a job at Kohl's Department store, that didn't let me work more than 4 days. Mostly during Black Friday. Can you say stressful? Very. I helped out with CYT a lot during this time. I drove 3 hours (in traffic-ugh) to play Huck Finn on last dress for South Bay's Tom Sawyer. (I don't think I could have done it if I didn't have Jared Orr and Austin Cesear as fabulous references, and very good friends.) I did hair and makeup for Temecula's Charlie Brown, as well as Tri-City's Scrooge. But only for one show. I was so completely blessed to work on quick changes and lead asst. for Temecula Valley Player's A Christmas Carol - Director: Jeremy Lapp I made some of my CLOSEST FRIENDS being involved with that show.
I now work at a Law Office as a secretary for an Attorney! He's a christian, and this job I believe, was such a God thing!! I love it so much. Who would have thought.... law? :D
My Life Recently
Well, my grandmother passed away less than a week ago, and that was harder than you could ever imagine. I was fortunate to have been with my sister at the time. Christmas went wonderfully! I spent the first half with my in laws, the Iwasaki's who live in Vista, and I felt so at home. Then we went up to Laguna Beach, where my Aunt & Uncle && Cousin's live, and spent that with them - as well as my Sister, her Husband, cousin Kim, and my Grandpa. There was such an absence not having my grandmother there. But I still felt an enormous amount of family togetherness. I hope my gpa did too. : /
COMING UP
Well, New Years in coming up and we're having a party and going to the snow covered mountains New Years morning!! And sometimes after that we are road tripping to Las Vegas, and Disneyland! Then the 10th of January, Kelley moves out here! And the very next day we are having Oliver! auditions! I think this will be my last show. Which I am BEYOND excited that my sister, Kelley, will be Asst. Musical directing!
All I know after that, is that I will be the photographer for Maggie&&Nathan's wedding in The Lusty Month of May! Hehehe...
So in CONCULSION:
All in all, it's been fabulous... but hard as hell. Learning to be on my own and not have anyone literally holding my hand, or drying my tears when things get scary. More tears than you can imagine. But it's made me appreciate each new day I wake up to, and the time God gives me with Family. :) (Not to mention the gas money He provides to get me to see my family, go to church and work!) GOD IS MOVING! And it is overwhelming, but beautiful to see Him mold my life together! I wish you all were here to see the things revealed to me.
I miss you all terribly. Especially my family. And I count down the days till I get to come home for a while! I am such a blessed girl to have each of you in my life.
Remember the purpose for each day, and why you should go on with a smile, and a loving heart. Put others before yourself, and honestly think, WWJD every day, and I promise you God will bless you for it.
For the first time in my life, I feel the Lord in my heart, daily.
