Cali

so the road has been ruff but i have finally made it to my blog spot safety again. i have to do all my e-mailing at the library and for some reason i was having loads of problems logging on to my gmail, therefore i couldn't get on my blog spot.
so i'm here. i made it without dying and i must say i have pretty much settled in. i have found a new job at a thrift store where i have plenty of opportunities to practices my Spanish. the first day no one talked to me in Spanish except one person, coworkers included. now it's been three days and people only seem to talk to me in Spanish. even if i have never met them before. it's fun, but i've got to learn how to say numbers better in Spanish! heaven forbid the bill come to $7.67, i wouldn't be able to say it.
i have settled in to my ward as well, i'm not to crazy about it. let's just put it this way it's not BH2 and no one needs me like i was needed, but it's good for me to step back and realize that the world can turn without me. i have met two people that i think that i'm going to be good friends with. one is named Rick, he's a recent convert and then there is Shelly, she is really tall and VERY nice. we get a long very well. and it seems that i have seen my future husband. i thought that he was Tongan at first because he was so tall. but it turns out he is Mexican. so he's Mexican, tall and has a fantastic signature... what more could a girl want? right?!?! anyway, i also heard him speak some English and he's got a really hot accent. now all i've got to do is met him! :o) then the church bells shall ring!
i have been spending lot's of good times with Sanchez and Lilly. so i have no real complaints. i just want to find a second job, otherwise i won't have enough money to even make rent let a long my bills or food. so i'm getting on that one too. i'm hoping that i will get a job working the graveyard shift at Denny's as a waitress. :o)
that last thing that i want to report on is the men here in California... they are so different!! they actually talk to girls! i went to a dance and guys actually talked to me! ones that i didn't know!! and don't even get me started about the ones that come up to me while i walk up and down El Cajon, the street that i live off of. this one told me that i was so pretty that he would suck my toes if i let him "be my man". those guys are creepy and sometimes i fear a little for my life, mostly one i think the creeper that was staring at me trough the window at work was gonna follow me home. but the truth is that though it is a little creepy, it's nice that least some people think i'm worth hitting on. even if they are the scum of the earth... :o)
all in all i am happy. i am sorry that it has been so long. i will try and get on more so that i can tell you all about the good happens as they happen! i love you guys and hope that you are all well!
