future flight attendant! (hopefully)

well, since my last real post i was offered a job as a flight attendant!!! i am very excited, but for the moment also very stressed. everything i have heard is that training (4.5 weeks in vegas) is very intense and not everyone makes it through. also, before i get there i have about 60 terms and 177 airport codes to memorize. it's a lot, and most of it makes no sense so there's no easy way to learn it except straight memorization. i have exactly a week to learn it all and i'm definitely feeling the pressure.

BUT, aside from that i am very anxious/excited/nervous/still excited about everything. i truly believe this job is God's plan for me right now, and i'm excited to see where it takes me. i have no idea if this will be a year thing or a long career, or heaven forbid i don't make it through training. but it feels right. i see so many opportunities for myself both personally to grow, and to serve God in this job.

it's gonna be great.

here are a couple pictures of how i WISH the uniforms looked...

and i love twilight. ♥

my process.

things i have learned recently:

-when planned correctly. one meal a day is plenty. light snacks can fill the rest of the space.
-doing dishes really isn't that bad when you have gloves on.
-unemployment is not nearly as fun as it sounds.
-not carrying cash in a city that seems to run on cash only can save you tons of money.
-not carrying cash in a city that seems to run on cash only also may cause you to spend your laundry money if you are not careful. (oops)
-losing your debit card and not carrying cash in the above mentioned city, is just a bad idea.
-if i ever really feel lonely, i just have to open my window. there are always plenty of interesting conversations coming from the women's rehab next door.
-if i ever feel like i have it bad, i just have to open my window. there always plenty of reminders that i don't have it bad coming from the women's rehab next door.
-and music is always a good idea. remember music.

so things are starting to come together. i have some work coming in. which means money will soon be coming in. this fact alone does my soul a world of good. i still have a lot of things i want/need to do here, but life is a process. the point is that i'm in it.

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.
