It's Been A While...

So...
I have not been so great with updating this blog. Things have been a bit crazy and a lot has changed since October.
I started a new job at a production company in Santa Monica and I LOVE it.
I am a Coordinator and because it is a smaller company, I really get to know all the people in that I work with. Hopefully, I will also have a lot of cool opportunities that I wouldn't normally have at a larger company. We are producing The Cape on NBC -- so, if you feel so inclined, please watch :)

Speaking of this new job, the reason that I started here there in the first place was this friend:

Jennie is by far my best friend in L.A. and I am so blessed to know her. Ironically, she knew Annetta Box (from some mutual friend in Oklahoma) and before I moved to L.A. Annetta gave me her email and told me that we would be friends.
Well, turns out that Jennie was also in the home group Bible study that was meeting IN my house that I moved into over a year ago. Small world? Maybe..
Anyway, we became fast friends and she got me the interview at my current company. We see A LOT of each other between work, church, and just being good friends but it never gets old. So blessed to have some one like this in L.A.
Also because of this new job, I cut my trip home to TX for Christmas short, which I was really bummed about. I also missed Passion for the first time ever.
However, I made the most of it and had a great time in L.A. for New Year's.

Another benefit of living in Southern California is the AMAZING weather. I had a holiday yesterday and I was determined to take advantage of 75 degrees in the middle of January. Grant and I went down to Santa Monica and rode bikes along the coast.
Needless to say, I will be doing this more often. 15 minutes from my house and free parking? Yea..amazing.






And finally, these are some photos I just received from a friend from my birthday back in August.
I can't express enough how grateful I am to have such an amazing community here. It really feels like home.

Hopefully I will begin to keep up with this more. I think things may have settled, albeit momentarily-- but for that I am grateful!
