Park City, Utah

I am leaving for Park City, Utah, tomorrow afternoon. More to come-!

in honor of . . .

. . .me moving to Guam...my Dad is making fried SPAM tonight. Yum! If you ever had Spam cooked a good way, you'd like it too!

Anyway, I am going to Guam! August 2009. I can't wait. And the best part is--- my family is so supportive! My dad and sis are helping me store stuff while I'm gone, and my mom is behind me 100%. Now I just have to see what Sandals thinks, because I'd love to be their missionary. I believe I will be there for 2 years, at least. I CAN'T WAIT!

Guam

I need prayer. I have a meeting with Dave Owen in a few weeks to discuss Guam stuff, like, if I am the right person to go- where I'll be working- what Island I'll be on (it won't be Guam, I'm pretty sure), and what all needs to happen with this.

I also need to decide what I want to do financially- I need to get another job and if I'm lucky, keep my one bedroom apartment, or, move in with friends to save $$. UGh. Anyone have a night job for me, or weekend job, or babysitting, or spare room, let me know- if not, just pray please!

finally writing!

I wrote nine pages tonight- that's nine pages toward about 20, or so, which, typed, should be back at about nine (ok maybe 13ish)- of my Thailand story. I am putting some twists on it, but overall- its looking pretty good. My friend Alison and I got together at a coffee shop and started our writing. After so long- my shoulder started to cramp and I started to write off the lines. The disadvantage of not doing it on my computer: I have to re-write (type) it. The advantages: an extra chance to do edits, and, unless I don't have to worry about the file crashing.


We were discussing time management, and my days are starting to become consumed with reading and writing. Wait, isn't this how I wanted it?

excitement

I cannot wait to finish out the rest of 2008.

So far:

This weekend, Santa Barbara (Zoo, Farmers Market, etc) We are planning on feeding farm animals, lorikeets, and giraffes at the zoo- and buying fresh strawberries at the farmers market. I brought my ice cream maker so we can make strawberry sorbet.

Sunday Sept. 21 is Global Mala in LA. A one day yoga conference/project/practice/presentation ETC. Yay!

Between Sept and Oct I will sign up for yoga teacher training, finally.


October 26th is my Dad's bday, so the sis and I are planning a trip up to Sacramento area for that weekend.


November 22, I am seeing Coldplay in Park City Utah with my friend Pitu who moved there recently from So Cal but is originally from Brasil (that's how Brasilians spell it, k?) We are hanging from Thurs-Sunday and doing Utah-ish stuff like snowboarding or hiking. And- apparently there's a great club for Thursday night.


December 6th, around there, Steph and I will be in Costa Rica.


So much excitement I can't wait! With all this going on- I promised myself I would be on a debt diet so I don't go into debt with my travels. This means great things for me- please pray I stay strong on my debt diet, my friend skills, my relationships in general, and my personal diet which is still HUGE in my life.
