Here's the rundown of the past weeks events...
Last week I came down to California with my mom to look for a job and a place to live. I met with a chiropractor who was apparently very impressed with my "touch" and my resume. So he offered me the job. The original agreement was only part time and he wanted me to start the following Friday. So Tuesday, I packed all of my boxes and left only what Christy and Wesley would need for the next few weeks before my parents brought them and my things out to me. Tuesday afternoon, the dr called and said he had changed my schedule. He wanted to change it monday - saturday, except Thursday 8-6:30. Well, because I have children and am a single mom, that schedule is impossible for me to do. Not to mention the amount i would be spending in day care. So I came back with an 8-2 schedule. He didn't like that and told me he had better keep looking and good luck in my search. He actually was quite rude on the phone. Well, after an anger episode and the thought of a good cry (I can never seem to actually follow through with a good cry), I decided to go out around Orem and look for a job. Except, I had left my massage table and chair out in Ramona. So, I left Wednesday anyway and am now down here in Ramona to pick up said table and chair, but also to cover some more ground looking for jobs and housing. I had a great interview in Thousand Oaks on Saturday morning, but I don't know that I want to live that far from my california family. So, I'm attending church in the Ramona Ward this afternoon to see if anyone here has any leads for me.
Tomorrow, I think I will go to the San Diego temple. And I think Tuesday I will be heading home. I miss my children. and my little dog.
I have had some fun out here though. Saturday afternoon, I dragged my aunt Siobahn to a comic book signing. Yes, i read comics. :) I got to meet the writers, artists and producers for Beserker. I got my picture taken with Milo Ventimiglia. He's really nice, and has really warm cheeks!
I'm feeling quite discouraged, but I also know that I'm doing what the Lord wanted me to do, so I know that there will soon be something to make sense of all of this.
I'm grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And with that, I'm off to see Christy Lynn and then off to church.
Love to you all!
My thoughts and reviews of things, technology, good reads/watches, and places I visit. "The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith." Margaret D. Nadauld, “The Joy of Womanhood,” Ensign, Nov 2000, 14–16

Theft - Warning for Women
THEFT - WARNING for Women
You've heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys
removed by black-market organ thieves.
My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to
sleep and woke up with someone else's thighs. It was just that quick. The
replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs were these and
what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs.
Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans.
And then the thieves struck again.
My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to
match my new rear-end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. But my
new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my original! I
realized I'd have to give up my jeans in favor of long skirts..
Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing
my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm swing to and fro
with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary - my body
was being replaced one section at a time. What could they do to me next?
When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck,
I decided to tell my story. Women of the world, wake up and smell the
coffee! Those 'plastic' surgeons are using REAL replacement body parts -
stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know has something
'lifted', look again - was it lifted from you?
These same thieves come in my closet and shrink my clothes! How do they do
it?
Last year I thought someone had stolen my Boobs. I was lying in bed
and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was relieved to see that
they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept. Now I keep them hidden
in my waistband.
THIS IS NOT A HOAX. This is happening to women everywhere every night.
WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

It's officially official!
The judge has signed, I am no longer married. :)
I think I am going to throw a re-bachelorette party when I get back from Cali. :)
And then I think I will celebrate once again next month at Comic Con. I am so excited to be going to Comic Con this year. Last year was so much fun and I look forward to making this an annual family event as my kids get older. Christy still talks about it. She liked shopping at the "Comic Squares".
There are only few more things that need to be taken care of. I need to get the car signed over to me. I would like to finish paying off my car and some more of my cc debt, then I think I'll need to start looking into a new car. Mine is still okay, but it makes me nervous for traveling to and from Utah and California.

Beverly Hills, that's where I want to be!
http://www.homesandland.com/Real_Estate/CA/City/SUN_VALLEY/ListingId/12925361.html?RefererId=Zillow
I love this house!
I'm leaving to California in a week, CRAZY!
I have a whole schedule printed out, and am just finishing up the final details of kids, packing, school etc. I have some interviews and some housing that I'm looking at. Not the one I put up the link for, but some more affordable apartments. Although, if you feel you would like to invest in a rental property out in the LA area, please let me know. I may be the person you've been looking for to care for your house! :)
I had my graduation ceremony on the 30th of last month. I graduated with High Honors! It was great! Had lunch with my family (Yes, Char, you are included in that). My family is incredible and I'm so greatful for the support they have given me while I have been in school.
Technically, I have two days left of classes - Monday and Wednesday. Looking back this whole thing has gone way fast.
But I feel great, now that it's just about done. I am working towards my National License and also certification in Kinesio Taping.
I'm getting more and more nervous about the whole California move. Heavenly Father has led me to this decision, and I know he has a plan for me, so it will all work out. But it scares me. Moving away from my mom and dad and my siblings will be very hard. But I will have my awesome children and my fuzzy little dog. We make a great team. I'm certain we will have trials, and I'm also certain we will fiind joy and opportunites out there for growth and success. Both career and family.
Thanks to my family and my friends for being such a great support.
My two besties. They're the best! LOL!
Aubrey thanks for listening to me and coming over to hang out. Even when we just fall asleep to a movie, it means a lot to know that you are there. I really reallly really want you to come with me. Transfer to Beverly Hills or something. Haha! I'm glad that you moved back in next door to me. Even if it's only for a little while. It's like we're 15 again.Meet me in the middle?
Charise, you are way awesome. Thanks a million for being at my graduation. It meant a lot to me! You are a great friend. I still really wish that you were coming with me! ;)
