A proud announcement:

I have completed not just one, but two of the things on my "to do before I move" list. Some sweet friends and I traveled down to LA for a girls night done right. It began with a trip to the Farmers Market at the Grove for some dinner and ended with my first experience at Millions of Milkshakes, and as always there were a few more spontaneous adventures along the way.

Surprise, surprise.

I think the only time I find my way onto this little guy is when I'm stressing, or day-dreaming, about graduation, moving, and starting a very new and big season in life. Its as though I need to spill my heart out in hope that maybe, somebody will read and completely understand how I'm feeling. So fingers crossed, that one of you knows the excitement and anxiousness of moving on from something wonderful to a place equally as beautiful. I find myself no longer in worry, but instead, in awe of God's perfect timing, and how He has orchestrated all things good.

Well, if it hasn't been evident in previous posts, I like lists. They keep me sane. Since Im moving from the great state of California, I made a list of things I absolutely, positively, hopefully, will be able to do before I leave in less than a month.

Without further ado:

-Downtown Los Angeles: to partake in the eating of some lovely little restaurant

-Old Towne Orange: for exploring, antiquing, gelato, and a trip to Bruxie.

-Balboa Park/Downtown San Diego: for education and entertainment alike

-Balboa Beach/Balboa Island: to relive my childhood through rollerblades, tan lines, and balboa bars

-Medieval Times: its fun fun fun and I have free passes!!

-Disneyland: because my poor little annual pass wont get any use after May 10th, may it rest in peace

-Millions of Milkshakes: because somehow I havent been yet..

Its a Friday night.

And here I am, up to my elbows in craft supplies. My guy has opening night tonight and my roommates are nowhere to be seen, so its just me, cheesy movies, and the contents of my cherished craft suitcase. Therapy, that's precisely what tonight is. ONE month until I graduate from college, and I am feeling the pressure. I find myself having a hard time switching between the collegiate mindset and the one where I'm a thriving, passionate, about-to-be 22 year old. Papers, projects, fieldwork, research, blah blah blah. I dream about the day when a chunk of time that was once used for homework can be devoted to blogging, ah, the magic. And with a day that hit the 90's last week, it was almost more than I could bear. Today, however, is gloomy and drizzling, and for that I am thankful. Here's to a weekend of staying in and dominating my assignments. Aside from, of course, a trip to the Museum of Natural History in LA, for purely extra credit reasons, and possibly church on Sunday, because lets face it, I'm going to need that more that an extra two hours of homework.

Just a quick catch up..

18 days until my much anticipated to trip to Georgia
29 days until I walk across a stage in front of a terrifying amount of people and receive a diploma
& 32 days until I leave everything I've known to start my post-college life in Bend, Oregon

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's about time to go make a cake, because I can.
