So much in such little time.

3 weeks down in LA.

I'm realizing that with this blog I never was a creative writer, but more just a writer because it's what got me through college. But, alas, here I go again!

I found a single grey hair 2 days ago. Please Lord let this not be foretelling of anything that is to come.

First off I have had to learn how to navigate LA freeways quickly. Note to self: when in rush hour traffic, LA drivers get mad when you stop at a red light. I thought it was a law, perhaps one that is mean to be bent at 8 am on a Monday morning. (Don't worry mom, I am still following the rules.)

Experienced my first earthquake. It was mini, and more fun than scary. It mostly felt like a big wave had come under the dock where I was eating. (breathe deep mom.)

I am settling in beautifully to my new job. My bosses absolutely spoil me, and are some of the greatest women to learn from. I am SO thankful! [insert Annie's " I think I'm gonna like it here"]

Flowers from my bosses on my first day!

Two weekends ago I was flown up to Washington to help out with a benefit concert for Haiti. I stayed with a wonderful family who really treated me like one of their own. After my first week in LA it was nice to have a deep breathe of some good clean NW air! Not only that, but my mom and grandma drove up for the concert, and surprised me with a cute little package named Jamie Rae! I was needing a good BF hug. And I cried. And it was wonderful.

Sweet Jamie Rae

The concert went great, and I was super thankful to be a part of a great cause.

Rock star status.

The next weekend was Easter, and my brother Dan came up to lead worship with me and our friend at Malibu Presbyterian. It was so fun to have him around for the weekend, and we ended up getting to stay in a beautiful guest house in Malibu. Not too shabby. :) Easter service was awesome, and I was so thankful that even though I've only been down here for a few weeks that I have opportunity to do what I love. Sing.

Happy Easter!

Later on Easter day a friend in LA offered her guest house to me for as long as I need it. I am SO excited to cut my commute down and hopefully be living where I can meet more people, and get in the swing of things a little more. I honestly feel like the Lord is just rolling out the red carpet for me down here.

And now I'm sitting in Carlsbad sweet Carlsbad. Heart is happy.
