Truckee

This past weekend, I went to Truckee with Heather (an old JV), Andrew and Angie (also an old JV). We stayed at the house of someone who works at Maryhouse which is absolutely beautiful. It's in a ski resort area so it's right near the ski slopes and there's also a recreation center with a gym, pool and jacuzzi. It was a very relaxing weekend, nice to get away from Sacramento and see some snow. It was a much needed weekend after this past week. It's been rough since my mom left, it's been lonely living in my house by myself. I'm trying to stay busy but it's hard being unsettled, knowing that I'll be moving again soon (hopefully December 1st). I'm trying to stay positive so the next few weeks will be easier so send me good thoughts and wishes!

Computer-less

I haven't made a post in a long time because I have been without my computer. I had to send it in for some repair work and just got it back recently. Unfortunately, it wasn't fixed and instead they are buying out my contract so I'll start looking for a new one sometime around Christmas. For the time being, it still works so keep your fingers crossed that it will continue chugging along.

I have a lot to update now that it has been so long. The major thing is that Traci left. She decided that she wasn't meant to be out here serving at Maryhouse anymore so she went back to New York. Again, it's been a difficult transition time but I'm doing my best at staying busy. Meghan came up from LA Halloween weekend and we had a really good visit. She has also decided to return to the East Coast so it was nice to see her before she leaves.

The following weekend, my Mom came out to visit! It was a lot of fun and good to have someone around. I'm still in the three bedroom house until the end of this month so it gets a little lonely at times. My mom and I had a nice visit, going to the zoo on Sunday and doing a little shopping on Monday. We also cooked gnocchi on Sunday and went to Ruth Chris Steakhouse on Monday night for two delicious dinners! It was a really great weekend and I'm now even more excited to go home for Christmas and see everyone!
