I recently had a conversation with my husband about how I would probably never have a blog. And who knows, perhaps this will be my first and only post! But as Max always says, girls don't know what they want, and they want what they can't have.

So I think I'm starting a blog

My life has changed drastically over the past several months.

#1 I GOT MARRIED.



Falling in love was the last thing I expected to happen last summer. And yes, I became engaged to Max a mere 3 months after we had know each other. I know, IT SOUNDS NUTS TO ME TOO. I always felt pity for those silly girls who just wanted to get married to have constant attention or whathaveyou. But, Max is not like other guys! He is my dreamlover. He's the sweetest, funniest computer geek ever

#2 I MOVED TO TEXAS.

I am a resident of Keller, TX, which borders Fort Worth. A google search for an image of Keller revealed the most common thing to be houses looking about like this:




Yep. Basically it's a growing middle-class suburb of Fort Worth and all the houses look about the same.

I abscolutely never saw myself ending up in Tejas 'neither. . . it is so different from my native Northern California Coast and obviously from Utah. I am staying open-minded about it though. It is starting to get warmer, greener, and little buds on the trees are beginning to bloom. This pleases me! But, I am looking for culture here. Interestingly enough there is a cool-looking Buddhist Wat (temple), right here in Keller! In fact, it is the Buddhist temple with the largest Buddha statue in the US. Go figure! I want to check it out soon.

#STARTED WORKING FULL-TIME

So my "real job" after graduation has turned out to be working in a furniture store in the Lease department. BUT I do speak Spanish daily which does exercise skills I learned in college. But after a 4 month journey of working as:

a)student exchange rep

b) translator

c) babysitter

d) nanny

I think I have finally found something that will stick. At least for now....haha. But let's just say that I am so grateful to have a steady job in this unsettling economic situation! Yay! Count your blessings!
