What a Day!

Today has been a tough day...my best friend left this morning for Oklahoma, and I cried as she pulled out of the driveway. It's so weird because I don't know if its really hit me yet. I keep expecting her to walk out of her bedroom.

I really feel like I'm moving into a new "season" of life. Everything is changing. And that can be tough no matter what the changes are. It's partly tough because I can't really see what's up ahead for me. Through all of this, I'm taking comfort in the fact that God is the one CONSTANT thing in my life. No matter how my circumstances change, he doesn't. Today I've just been reminding myself that I have a purpose in this world that was designed by God. And that he's going to walk with me through all of life's changes. In Hebrews 13:5 God assures us:

"I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," (MSG)

It's awesome to be reminded of that!

The Blue Bayou

I FINALLY made my first visit to the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland. It's the restaurant you see when you're riding through The Pirates of the Caribbean. It was awesome! It totally lived up to the hype for me. I split a Monte Cristo sandwich with one of my friends, and we ordered the cookie pirate ship for dessert. Overall it was a fun day with some ladies who I really enjoy! Here are some photo's...

Big News!

In the next couple of weeks I have some MAJOR changes happening in my life. Number one is that my best friend is moving back home to be with her family. Jenny and I have been friends for over 13 years. She's been my roommate for about 10 of those years. I'm going to miss her bunches! We both avoid talking about it, because it just makes us cry. I know we'll still be friends, but it will just be different. She's been a part of my everyday life for a lot of years now. I'll miss that...

The other big news is that I'm moving! I've been trying to find a place here in California that I can afford by myself, and it just never happened. I had a few possibilities but they all fell through at the last minute. Plus I've been looking for a second job for a while now, and nothings been working out. So for financial reasons I'll be moving to Las Vegas. My two sisters and their families plus my mom live there. I'm sad to leave California. I love my church, and my job, and I have other friends here...but I know it's time to go.

So, like I said...MAJOR changes! On a completely non-related note this past week has been the week for celebrity sightings at work! On Tuesday I saw Stephanie Meyers as she made her way through the Indiana Jones fast pass line with an escort. For those of you who don't know she's the author of the Twilight series. I also got pretty close and personal with Lindsey Lohan and crew. As I was walking out of a backstage area, they were being escorted in. Ahhhh....my brush with fame!

Slumdog Millionaire

I finally went to see Slumdog Millionaire, and I really enjoyed it. I have a friend who went saw it a couple of weeks ago and she loved it. She's talked so much about it that I've been wanting to see it ever since. I really didn't know what to expect. It's funny, in all the press I've seen about the movie they really don't talk much about the plot. After seeing it I get why. It's a movie that you just need to go see...
