One Month

Me & Grandma Bennie

Well, I've been a California girl for about a month now. In some ways it's like "wow, a month!" and in other ways it's like "that's it?"

That's because I've settled in here quite nicely. In the past month I have accomplished the following:

-moved into my new apartment and made it feel like home

-started my new job at Power 106 and have gotten fully acclimated

-found a part time job at Victoria's Secret and have started such job

-found an Irish dancing class to join
-have a church to go to on a regular basis, possibly getting involved musically

-met some new friends at work, visited my friends out here, and visited family

Not bad for a month, huh?

I do miss my St. Louis friends and family, of course. And I miss being able to watch Cardinals games! Though, if I wanted to, I could pay for MLB's online video package which would allow me to watch any Cardinals game. It's just a bit pricey, so I may have to stick to just following the games online.

I will however, get the chance to see the Cardinals play the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium when they come to town! I have tickets to the game, I can't wait to go. Dodger Stadium is one of the only old school stadiums left. Only Fenway, Wrigley and Dodger Stadium are left now that the Yanks and the Mets have new stadiums. So it's pretty cool for that aspect. And the game is in June, so the weather should be pretty good and not too hot yet.

I received an e-mail the other day that I have received a ticket to show see a Jay Leno show taping! I had signed up to try and get tickets when I thought my mom might be in town. Turns out, I got them! I don't know if my mom is still going to be able to come (it's the Friday before Memorial Day weekend) but if not, I'll go. I've never gone to a live taping before, so I'm pretty excited about this. It should be fun!

Getting ready to go visit my relatives in Hemet. My cousin Laura is having an early Mother's Day celebration at her house, so I'm going to spend time with them. I am really loving that I am so much closer to my California family. Being able to see them on a more regular basis is fantastic.

That said, gotta go get ready to head out east. More updates to follow, and perhaps some pics from today later!
