Let's get philosophical... Philosophical...

...and I may go, to places I have never been to, just to find
the deepest desires in my mind...


Hi friends!

Life in San Diego has been busy busy! I've been working 40 hour weeks (ha ha yes, I know... like the rest of society lol but I'm used to working only 3 or 4 days lol :P and at a busy store like the one I'm at, it can be extremely draining) and in the little spare time that I actually have, we've been using it to look for furniture to finish off our place. Our place is pretty much fully furnished besides a few decorative items I'd like to have. I will post pictures in about a month or so after I have some people over so you guys will just have to come and see for yourself!

I had the day off today and spent the day getting my oil changed and cooking dinner. I also got to catch up on a two episodes of Once Upon a Time (so addicting!). After the bf got home we watched the Katy Perry movie. Pretty good although my expectations were a little high so I was a little disappointed. They did a much better job with the Justin Bieber movie (yes... I watched that movie lol). It was a bit of a sad movie and reminded me of a time when I was going through similar emotions. I can't even imagine having to put on a brave face to put on an entire concert when you're breaking down on the inside. I've always been a hopeless romantic and extremely emotional and I just remembered times when I would be holding back tears in class, which was especially bad when you sat in the front row.

I think of those times to remind myself of how far I've come and how I'm in such a better place now. Everyone in their own way will go through things that test them, push them to their limits and at times it'll feel like life is going in a downward spiral but it's up to us to take back control of our lives. Giving up is easy. It's picking up the pieces and deciding what to do afterwards that's hard. One of my favorite quotes is from Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail." I truly believe that if you can find a way to get over that obstacle, whatever it may be, it will not only make you a stronger person but a better human being. I was talking to my manager the other day and she said something that really touched my heart. She said, "We will do our best to help each other be better human beings." It just made me think that if everyone thought this way, the world would be a much better place.

I got all philosophical on ya'lls all of a sudden haha. Thanks for listening to me ramble on lol. Hope everyone is ready for the weekend! Let's finish this week off right! Love and miss you all!

Such an amazing concert and the venue just made it all the more serene. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery is so beautiful. We paid the extra $20 to park inside the venue and it's definitely worth it. You don't have to wait in line to get in and you could go back to the car to get whatever you want. They don't let you in until 6pm so we drove around the block and just parked until it was 6pm. Blankets recommended (one to sit on and another to snuggle with :)) since it did get cold after the sun went down despite it still being fricken hot in LA at this time of the year.

I recorded a bunch of little clips from the concert so once I piece them all together, I'll post it here. I'm still trying to get a hang of using the Mac programs.

San Diego

I am now up and running in San Diego! I've been without internet for the past 2 weeks and it's so nice to finally have internet again! I've been seriously taking the internet for granted all this time. I'll be back to regular posting soon but first I have to get back on schedule with all my finances. Paying bills without internet is not the deal especially when your credit card just expired. All my auto payments thru my credit card were rejected so I have to fix all that stuff too. Let me tell ya... super fun stuff.

So far working and living in San Diego hasn't been much different than being in LA besides the fact that we have our own place and I'm working in a far busier store. We're pretty much done decorating our place with a few things that don't need immediately so we'd like to take our time looking for them (i.e. night stands, coffee table, side tables, etc). Other than that, we're pretty much all settled in.

I'm hoping I'll have some new posts for ya'lls soon! Love and miss ya'lls! Talk to you guys soon!
