Here are my thoughts lately.... Last year I didn't have many friends which was really unusual for me. I mean right?! All you who are friends reading this know how awesome I am! This year I am swimming in new friends!!! And not only friends that I say hi to at church and don't hang out with any other time. (I do have plenty of those). But also friends that I do stuff with on the weekends and during the week. And friends that actually understand me and are very similar to me! And friends that make me LAUGH!!! Friends who don't judge. Friends who are in the same stage of life as me. And also I really love my roommates. I have tons of friends here in Arlington and I seem to make more and more every week. I am just writing this to say how GRATEFUL I am for all of these friends. Because last year I went through a friend drought (although I am grateful for the awesome few friends that I did have) and I was starting to think something was wrong with me. Although I'm not sure why I was so surprised by the lack of people to hang out with. Last year one of my goals and things that I was praying for was to be okay alone. In the past I would always rely on being with other people to take my mind off my troubles. So I had a lot of time alone to reflect on who I was and who I wanted to become. Basically be careful what you pray for!
Anyway, now the problem is a job. I've been doing some temp work but nothing very long term at all. When I thought of temp work I thought like doing something for months at a time, not days. Also, I'm not even sure what kind of job I want to have. I have no clue! I do have an interview today for a longer temporary job. It would last a few months. I guess that would buy me more time to figure out what kind of permanent job I want. And to find a permanent job.
So to recap... Last year I had a wonderful job. But not many friends or opportunities to hang out. This year I have lots of friends and scheduled hang outs at LEAST three times a week. But no permanent job... yet. It's funny how things can change. But either way, life is good. It can be a little stressful and anxiety inducing at times but I love the peace that comes when I trust in the Lord. I know that He will provide for me if I do everything that I can and if I keep the commandments. I know I'm supposed to be here... I don't really know why but I hope to figure it all out soon. In the meantime, I'll enjoy having plans for tonight, tomorrow night, Wednesday night, Friday and Saturday. :)

Your adventures look pretty fun, we need to do a little bit of that ourselves :)
