1. Social:
Well, I am dating Rob and he is so kind and so good. I am so grateful for this experience :) I feel like where I am rough, he is smooth. We will see where it goes. He looks like a Jewish boy with that hair, but he's not. lol.
At church I've also been getting to know people. I realized how I was not really liking the social atmosphere, and I realized the other day again how important it is to look at people the way the Lord looks at them. That has been my goal lately: to try to look at others with an eternal perspective so I can develop love and charity in my heart for them. It seems like any time we are unhappy about something (besides abuse, etc) a lot of it has to do with our own attitudes. I actually went to FHE on Monday....and that is a big deal for me haha! Just because I have loved being home so much that I haven't wanted to go anywhere. Of course, it helped that Rob went, and he asked me if I was going, and I didn't give him a straight answer, and he was like "ok thats cool! well have a good night, im on my way to FHE! (speaking of which, he has to take the bus everywhere so it took him like an hour to get there....I thought I could probably sacrifice a little time to go.)
2. Church/Spiritual: I got called as the ward Data Entry Specialist. I know, I know. It's totally a made up calling. I just enter in the callings, keep them straight. It doesn't require much. haha...BUT, I am happy to say I get to be a visiting teacher. It has been a serious treat. These girls are so great. I love them!! I feel like it was inspired as to which girls I get to visit. I mean, we've only visited a couple of times, because I haven't been here long, but I've enjoyed it. I feel like we are becoming real friends. Thank goodness for visiting teaching. :) I've also been listening to conference talks in the morning...and its a great way to start the day.
3. Physical: Oh dear, I miss having a gym!!! Seriously dude. Right now, or for the last 5 months or so, I've been turning on fun music and dancing around....but that is like, the workout I do when there is nothing else to do....its fun, but my knees are killing me haha. There is only so much you can do...I NEED A GYM!!!! AAAHH!!! plus, its so freezing outside there is no way I'm going to ride my bike....dang bay area!! Too bad a gym membership is 300 dollars....yikes. Not to mention it requires travel to the gym. Sigh...those of you in Provo don't know how good you have it as far as everything being in one place until you move away!
4. Work: I START A NEW JOB TODAY!! I am going to be a part-time nanny in addition to my other job at the ambulance company. I am SOOOO EXCITED!!! I love kids. They are so fun. :) WoohoOO!!!!!
Speaking of....time to get going on the day. Have a good one! Here are more pics:

Is that the guy we saw in Oakland? He's a cutie :) And I'm so sorry about the passing away of so many of your family members. I think it's wonderful that you are able to be home and to spend so much time with your family right now.
