Random Update

So I made a friend...at church! I know, who would have thought.  Not to dig on Utahns, but the people in my ward here are a lot nicer and when I say nicer I mean in that real/sincere/none judgemental/none hypocritical way.  I met her last week and we had the normal small chat.  This week she came and sat by me and I knew we were a pair when she leaned over after the family home evening announcement and said, "So when do we get to do grown up activities.  I don't want to build sleds out of cardboard on a Monday night.  I would rather stay at home and watch reality TV."  I brightly smiled back and said, "So I guess that means you don't want to play broom hockey in the gym after with me."  I told her we should get together sometime and she was all for it.  I think I can safely move her out of the "psycho girl" catagor, but there still could be a "crazy gril" in there so we are not totally in the clear.     

What else...oh ya, job hunting.  Did I mention that I HATE looking for a job.  I have a couple interviews this week and am getting lots of calls, but it is hard.  How do I know if I will like the company, the work, the people, or the work environment?  Also, what do I really want to do when I grow up?  

Seattle is really growing on me.  I like all of the different neighborhoods.  I like that the air always feels fresh and clean.  I like that the people are so laid back and very casual.  I like all of the new places.  I like hanging out with my brothers.

On the other hand, I miss lots of people from back home.  Today I got so excited when I walked to my car and saw "Steph's car" parked right next to mine.  Oh wait, Steph is not here.  I miss going to lunch with the ladies at work.  I miss our "double dates."  I miss sitting in the corner making sure all is well.  I miss Max.  

All in all, things are good.  I am still happy and have not freaked out...yet!

Linds way to go on making a friend! That brings your Seattle total up to my Salt Lake total and I've lived in this ward for 2 years.

SLC misses you too. I know Max does! He is not getting NEARLY enough love.
