(Picture Faye from That Thing You Do saying that.)
Life is great right now. For those of you who don't know, I'm living in California with my aunt and uncle. I'm doing an internship at KKAJ, an accounting firm. For those of you who do know, same thing. Here are just a few of my favorite parts:
- I've loved living with my Aunt Patti, Uncle Dennis, and Cousin Nathan. It has been awesome getting to know them better!
- One weekend I went to Irvine to watch Jessie in a dance competition. It was fun to meet up with her and see how much she's improved!
- Nate (my cousin) is really good at everything I'm bad at. DDR, guitar, bowling, cooking, etc. But he's a really great teacher. He helped me figure out a song on guitar, pass a really hard song on DDR, and get a 132 in bowling (that's good for me.) Now I just need to learn how to make his scrumptious omelets...
- Movie Nights. I love having my aunt, uncle, and cousins show me movies that they love. They have great taste and I love watching movies so it's been great! I finally watched the Bourne series, The Happiest Millionaire, Somewhere in Time, The Importance of Being Earnest, and many more.
- My cousin Alison works at Universal Studios so I went to a pre-screening of The Adjustment Bureau with her. It was fun to be on the lot with her and the movie was pretty interesting.
- U Dennis, A Patti, Alison and I went to a really awesome show in Los Angeles called Traces. It was SO AMAZING! I wish everyone had the chance to see it.
- I've gone to the single's ward a few times with my friend Joanne and it's fun to be with her and get to know new people.
- I went to the Los Angeles Temple for single adult night with Joanne. It was amazing to be in an overflowing baptistery (especially in LA.) Afterwards we walked around the grounds and Joanne told me her conversion story. She was baptized less than a year a go and is such an example to me!
- Work is great and I love it, but I always look forward to my lunch breaks. Why? Everyday I take my lunch breaks outside in the beautiful sun. I've never been warm in February or March and I'm loving it. I may even come back a little tan!
- This last weekend I drove to Las Vegas with Cheralyn (my cousin) and her family, met up with Jessie, David, and Heather there, then went to St George to spend time with the rest of my family that weekend. It was so good to be together! The ride back in our 'girls car' was a blast!
- I really like my job. The people are so great, and I like what I do. I really do look forward to going to work and not many people can say that. Here's my desk. See the two monitors? I'm spoiled.
My favorite part of my desk are my Valentines from all my nieces and nephews. I know February is over, but they're staying there for a while. They make me feel right at home and they just light up my little workspace.
There is a bit of a commute to work (30-45 min) but I love it. My uncle and I will talk about life or if we're really tired we'll listen to the news and grunt in disgust at some of the things going on.- I've driven to Malibu, Santa Barbara, and Irvine. These drives have shown me how beautiful California is! I'm definitely falling in love with it.
- I have loved being part of the King's get-togethers. They have welcomed me into their family and I'm just loving it. I even get to go to part of their reunion starting tomorrow at Newport Beach.
How lucky am I? Am I living the life or what?
Ugh---I just left a comment, and then lost it. Boo.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I said something to the effect of how I'm jealous of all those things...except Somewhere in Time. That movie angers me.
The Kings are some of the best hosts on the planet, and you're one of the bests guests so it's a match made in heaven:)
Also---132?! That's amazing!
I'm so glad you're having a good time! It was fun talking to you today. By the way, I hope Somewhere in Time wasn't one you watched while you were on the treadmill. :)
