At the request of my dear Uncle Ken, I present to you this
blogging update. Actually, I’m glad he asked me to do it, challenged me really.
There’s been too much time between posts lately and every time I sit down to
write, I remember how much I love it. And if you don’t believe be, I’ve got 21 journals to prove it.
Well, I’ve been in California now for over a month and I
loooooooooooooooooooove it. Love, love, love, love, love. I think I love it
even more knowing I’m missing the worst winter Provo’s had in years. Sorry friends!
It’s gorgeous here. It’s warm here. It’s fun here. Did I mention that I love
California?
In spite of all that love, I miss Provo. I really do. I miss
those beautiful mountains I’m blessed to see every morning. I miss the
closeness of everything there (traffic is a nightmare here – only thing I can’t
stand). Most of all, I miss the people. I miss all the amazing people I had to
leave behind when I set off on this adventure. This experience has taught me to
appreciate the simple blessings of friendship and love I enjoy when I’m there,
and I think that’s why we go through experiences like this. I get to learn
about gratitude for three months. And I can go to San Francisco, and the Oakland
Temple, and the Jelly Belly Factory, and Malibu while doing it. :)
