Two Years

Lately, I've been really thinking about these 2 years coming up. Why have I been thinking about this? Its because my amazingly boyfriend is off in his mission. Its only been 2 months since he's left but it feels like forever already. I am however proud of myself on how I've been feeling about him being gone. At first I couldn't control my emotions and I felt like crying was the only possible way to let out how I felt. Now I try not to think about it and I try to distract myself with activities to do such as; softball, school, working out, reading, lessons with the sisters, reading more, and blogging. Ha.

However I came across this song on YouTube the other day and it's a beautiful song but however it is a tad bit depressing. The song is called Two Years and its by Carli Barlow.

 

 

Hope to see you soon :(

 

The sisters recently just transferred. This sucks I've grown so attached to them that its going to be hard to transition my life without them. They've taught me so much while they were here that I will take the lessons and apply them as much as I can in my life. I know our paths will cross again in our lives and I can't wait for that, so I can scream and yell and hug them for the longest time.

 

Thank you for everything sisters.

 

 

 

 

 

So Much Food

Before

 

Talk about stomach ache. My family and I all went out to eat at a sea food restaurant. Now this was my first time here because this restaurant had recently opened. We order what is called the big plate. Now it had basically everything you see on the photo above and it also came with is called in Spanish "Ceviche". The food was amazing.

 

After



Lets play ball.!!

I got the chance today, to watch my 11 year old sister play in here all-star game. That last time I watched her play was a year and a half ago and that was because my games got cancelled so I had the day off. I usually don't get the chance to watch her play because I either have games or practices myself or I just can't make it because I'm so far away from home. ]

Her first game she went 1 for 2 and her team won the game which advanced them to the championship game.

In that game she went 2 for 2 but her team lost.

Watching her play was fun but weird because I was on the other side of that fence and I'm not use to it at all. She did good and I hope she knows that I am proud of her. I know god will bless her in the future and she will do amazing as she grows and I hope she gets a scholarship to play college too. This might be hard to say but, I know that she will be WAY better than me as she grows up. Her mentally, aggressiveness, and at bats amaze me. Just as a young girl she has this much talent and from her it'll only get better.

First Cali Meal

 The other day well actually the first day I got in Palmdale which was 2 weeks ago, I got to finally eat real Mexican food and not Tex Max type. However, the restaurant my parents went I've never been to before and they were saying how its really good and its their new "spot" for Mexican food. The place was called Santa Ana and when I walked in it seemed good, but when I got my food I guess I was so use to the greasy, fried, tex-mex food that I didn't enjoy it. My mom was shocked which was funny but it was shocking because I'm really not that picky but there I was. I couldn't eat the rest of it because the food was that bad for me. Then my mom made me eat some of her shrimp taco and I thought that maybe I would like it since I eat shrimp out in Loui, but when I ate it I literally had to spit it out because to me it seemed so bland. The only thing that turned out good for me, was my sisters shrimp cocktail, but it was the juice that tasted good that was it. Hopefully this doesn't continue while I'm out here.



Rain, rain go away!

Just as I thought I had enough rain in Lake Charles, it decides to pour and have crazy lighting and thunder all around. However this rain was different. It felt like I was alone this time and as weird as this sounds it smelled different too. Yeah I know its a little weird because its rain and rain is just water but it smelled really different. I liked it I felt happy that it was raining.

Home Sweet Home

Yup, home sweet home Cali. Now I'm sorry to say but I don't live by Hollywood hills were I see famous people constantly. I live in a small town name Palmdale. The only good thing about this city is that famous rapper Afrojack went to school out here and Paul George ( famous NBA player for the Indiana Pacers) went to the same high school I did. Other then that its pretty empty and a lot dirt EVERYWHERE!!

My trip back home was pretty bad however. I had a flight at 5 A.M and my roommate was suppose to take me, but she never came back home from the night before. So as impatient as I am I panicked and called her, texted her and no respond. So instead I drove myself to the airport and as bad luck of a person I am I was too late they wouldn't let me in and to top it off my dogs kennel that I bought him was way to small for him to fly with me. So they booked me on the next flight and I drove back home (since its only down the street from my house) and tried to contact everyone I know to take care of my dog for 2 weeks. Thank god, the sisters helped me with a dog sitter and someone to take me to my next flight. I was so relieved. Its funny how god testes us because the night before my flight I had a lesson with the sister missionaries and our topic was forgiveness, and everything that happen to me I thought I would never forgive my roommate for not taking me but I did. Maybe not as quick as I should of but I did forgive her I'm just glad to me home and see my family.

Palmdale for you!
