I keep telling myself that as soon as all my ducks are in a row that I will join a yoga studio, take tennis lessons, volunteer, join a small group... have kids? But my life never seems to be... ready. Maybe I just need to take the plunge. Maybe my life will be ready when I make it so.
Good news is that I am going in for a 2nd interview tomorrow for a clothing company in l.a. I am super excited. The location is ideally located right down the street from Will's job, meaning we can carpool. Super important. So I am praying that the Lord opens some doors tomorrow because I REALLY want to start working again and get back on track.
In other news, Will and I became L.A. Zoo members this past month which is really cool. I feel like we're adults now for some odd reason. It's like we're a part of the school board or or a charity organization or something. They send us emails that say "sign this petition to save the zoo!" and I do because it's MY zoo in MY city. Yeah. It also makes me feel like we really live here... In Anacortes, I never felt like it was home. I never wanted to volunteer, or support the local community theater. But here, in los angeles, I want to be a part of everything. I recently joined every mailing list, subscribed to a bunch of event calenders and and made it a point to become immersed. It feels nice. We even picked a coffee shop thats "our place" and a restaurant thats "our spot". We make it a point to patron them at least twice a month. We go to art walks at the Brewery and tour artists lofts and imagine we live there, overlooking the industrial city from our cavernous apartment. We go to the theater, eat everything, go to shows... We really live here. It's home. And the traffic is not that bad, really. Unless you try to go to West LA during rush hour. But honestly, everyone hates the west side anyway. So we all stay here, with the mountains and Griffith Park and free street parking and Downtown at our back door. Oh yeah, we have Hollywood too. Suck it west side!
In summery, pray for my interview, pray for safe travels, pray for my sister. Love!
