fruit!

so seeing as i have had more time on my hands lately, i've taken to hobbies.

today it was painting.



this may not be the best career choice for me... :)

in the meantime.

well, i'm officially settled in my new home in pasadena. i absolutely love my little studio. and while it still lacks many things (such as a TV, area rug, couch cover, curtains, etc.) it is beginning to feel like home.

i love pasadena. i love how there are always people walking, everywhere. i love that everything i need is within walking distance or a very short drive. i love having the mountains and the ocean both nearby. i love that it's not the desert. and it's been so fun having brent and danielle so close. it's hard to imagine ever living away from all of my family. they are just too important to me. i'm pretty happy here. and my studio really is adorable.

on the other side, i still need a job. i'm getting ridiculously antsy. i hate not working. but it's been hard. there just aren't a lot of available jobs out there right now. i guess i've really only been here 2 weeks, maybe less. it's kind of blurry. so after settling in i really haven't been looking that long, but it feels like it's been forever. and so far i'm just not sure what's gonna happen. i would love prayer about all that.

so overall, i'm doing good. it's gonna take some time for me to find my place here, job wise, friend wise, and church wise. but i'm doing it. and i'm excited for the future. i know that God has a plan for me here... i'm just trying to learn to be content in the meantime, while i'm figuring it out.
