Where is Jenna when you need her? This setting crap up on my own is lame. ANYWAYS, Wow. Sorry I haven't posted any updates...I believe after I do, that means that Julie is the only one to not complete a post. Tisk. Tisk. Well, my life has changed quite a bit since peppy-d. Its crazy to think that only a month has gone by. I am all settled in my precious little apartment, our two other roommates move in next week, so that is super exciting. Initially, it was super hard to adjust to not having you all around, or at least people that don't compare, but pass the time. Now that I have been here a month I have meet so many people that are so interesting and fun to spend time with. It has been tough not having you guys here with me, not having people to constantly support me, but it has been a really trying and growing experience that I'm so thankful for. So, what have I been up to? I went to hawaii with ralph and barbs for an impromptu holiday, Ive been going on like 3 interviews a week and have two job offers, but am still holding out for the one I really want at an incredible non profit consulting firm! If I get this job I would have lots of chance to travel for work to LA so that would be so fun to see katie, jen, and julie semi-regularly. Please pray that this job works out, it is so perfect, I just pray that God opens that door. If I don't get the job as operations coordinator at taproot, I will most likely be taking a job at a big insurance company called Amwins (my pride just wont let me say yes to the job at my dads company...I'm a little stubborn :)..) Besides the boring work stuff, life in san fran is pure bliss and everything I had hoped for. So many fun adventures in the bay area! So many fun bars, restaurants, cafes, music, parties, ahh never a dull moment. Beccs, there are two french bakeries/restaurants I already have planned to take you to, you will LOVE them. I've made a ton of friends through my church here which I adore and am so blessed to be a part of. Two of my new best friends are random neighbor boys I met at my bus stop, turn out they live across the street from us and one of them is a christian and has started coming to church with us. They are such a blessing to me and I am so excited to have some solid guys friends already. So there is summary thus far....the next two weeks could potentially be crazy. I have weddings for the next two weekends in a row, one up here this weekend and one down in SD next weekend, but on the way to San Diego I am stopping in LA for Thomas' commissioning, which I am so excited for! Throughout the last month I have learned a few things, the most important being trusting in the Lord's provision and learning to fall in love with Him in a totally new way... I re read Francis' Chan's book "Crazy Love" and it literally touched me in a totally new way this time around, I would highly suggest it to you all, its incredible! I'm sure Jen would tell you the same. And last but definitely not least I have two trips I'm currently planning....One is to merced to see katie craig this summer ( SO EXCITED!) and the other I thought I would mention because Becs will LOVE it...A road trip through the deep south with our friend Courtney who is from Georgia and went to school in South Carolina...Christa and I are SO excited because we are really going to get to experience the south!! Wooo, ain't nothin better than fried chicken and a fountain coke y'all!! OK, wow, this is a super long post, but I just wanted to catch you all up to where I am at!! I miss you guys so much and hope I get to see you soon!! Love love love to you all, you are always in my prayers!!
