These good times are killing me.

So last Monday my best friend from high school came to visit. She was helping her friend move from Texas to Oregon... I knew her friend from a previous meeting about 5 years ago. I didn't realize until after Baca and Crystal left that I have been friends with Baca for well over 8 years now. Boy do I feel old. We had a blast... but man...

have we come a long way?!

Doesn't matter. We still look cute! :-)
even after all these years....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Went to Hollywood & Highland first... Ate some CPK...



Then we went up a mountain and took some crazy pictures....

Every mile a memory...

So for those who are not completely filled in on my recent happenings in life, I just made the big jump to move to California. It has been a dream of mine for years to come out here and make something come to life under the big screen. What it is yet, I'm not sure, but I'm on my way, and it's very exciting. So here is a recap of my travelings to California.

April 28, 2008:
I left home for the last time, with Georgia on my mind and the west in my future. My Marmie was there to help me drive this first half of the trip. This would be the last time for quite a while, that I would drive through the infamous bridge that crosses over the Mississippi River. This bridge brings back years of memories driven to see family to and from Texas.

And so the last, long awaited vacation begins! We drop my mother off at the airport and head off to lunch. It was a quiet day and a nice time to catch up with each of my grandparents. Later we made our way over to the daily trips to Starbucks. I classify my grandparents as the cute old couples you'd see in movies that become the regulars to restaurants, except this was at a coffee shop. It cracks me up. People love them and they love the other people. It's been so neat to meet their friends, hear stories of old days, and hear them laugh. It brings such a strange joy to my heart. It became a daily outing the next 4 days i was there.

April 30, 2008
Gram C and I went out and about to several antique shops and a fun fabric store. I found me a cute pattern for an apron to make me and my sister. Maybe even a kid one day... I started on the child's apron for practice... so far so good. Can't wait to get the big girls one done! :-} Check out the website to the store, they have some neat things if you like to sew.
Sew It Up

Here is the cute pattern I got.

May 1, 2008
I got to take some cute and silly pictures of my cousin and her new hubby. What a beautiful mess.







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that night I met up with an old friend from Florida and her new hubby as well. After we ate we had to go get gas for their emtpy car. Hah.





May 2, 2008
I picked up my old college roommate from the airport. She flew down from Phoenix to help me drive from Texas to Arizona. It was so good to see her again. It was just like old times.



Later she met my family and we all had some yummy BBQ for supper. It's good to be with the ones you love.




May 3, 2008
Ruby and I head out eary that morning to make our way a bit closer to California. I made a call out to my Aunt and Uncle who live in Midland. Went to Chili's to see my cousin work hard.... and had lunch with my AC&UR. Saw their new remodeled home which is so gorgeous! It was so great to see them again, and Ruby has officially met my entire family. Wow.



Onward we went, and found some neat things, ad ran into my car's alter ego.







and the journey continues....




May 4, 2008
Ruby and I are finally in Arizona! I haven't spent much time in Arizona, but was really excited to see Phoenix. I stayed 2 nights and got to see downtown and meet Ruby's new man. I also got to meet up with some old friends I went to High School with when we all lived in Japan. Good times.




And of course... I got to see my Remy! Silly Remy...

Home.

Meaningless!

"Light is sweet,
And it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
However many years and man may live,
Let him enjoy them all.
But let him remember the days of darkness,
for they will be many.
Everything to come is meaningless."
Ecclesiastes 11: 7-8


So here it is. My journey through a new start at life. A new young woman starting her life in the the big city of Los Angeles. Here is where you can keep up with the journey and the happenings of my so called “amazing” life.

What’s funny is how some of my friends find themselves saying I’m going to become famous one day, my name will be on the “big” screen, and how they’ll all be able to say they know me. It feels good to know people believe in me enough to think I will one day become some big name in Hollywood. But the truth is my name is just a name. Nothing more. When I die, it will be nothing more than a unique word that defined me and my personality from all the other people in this world. My main mission in life now is living for the real TRUTH. The truth is that Jesus is the name that will never be forgotten for years to come. Jesus is the name on the big screen in this life, the multi- talented director, producer, writer, actor, musician, the composer to the sountrack of our lives. He deserves all the academy, oscars, grammys, standing ovations. He is the ONE who we can look at and say, “I know HIM!!!” I want to spread the word, and Hollywood won’t like that, but I’ve been called, and I’m not bringing sexy back, I’m bringing classy back. I’m bringing the word back.


"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher.
"Everything is meaningless!"
Ecclesiastes 12:8

I have recently come to see my life as something I tend to take fore-granted, a lot. I don’t see the great expectations God has designed me to become like other people see. I don’t always see what things I really am blessed with let alone the people in my life who have provided for me. I’ve always had the “I don’t care, get over it” attitude and I’ve decided now is the time to become that woman my Heavenly Father has created me to be. So I will be the first to admit that these new challenges in my new journey aren’t always going to be jaw dropping, glamorous, or exciting, these are going to be the new growing pains of adulthood. These will be my defining moments in my walk with Christ and in my walk through Hollywood. I may be alone, and it may be difficult, but I have His Word and that's all that matters.

So may you find these blahgs an interesting escape from the everyday world and an inside to my new life. :-)

"The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned."
Isaiah 9:2

Vroom, Vroom.

So I have come to this conclusion:

The day gas prices go to $5.00 per gallon…..



I’m going to invest in a scooter.

(isn't it cuuute?!)

Nuff said.

Can't Go Back now.

To my marmie and daddy.

Thank you for teaching me to embrace the growing pains in life through your tough love and to truely understanding what true love means. From the womb I spun into this world, gracing you with my obnoxious curiosity to becoming a young woman with respect and modesty, all the credit goes to you. So now the time has come for me to be on my own, but I can always look back and think of the countless conversations and remember the advice that was given to me to share with my own family one day. Thank you for your love, support, patience, sharing, and remembering to depend on the Master's Word. Thank you for being you. I couldn't ask for better parents. I love you.

Love,
Your Bozzyness

Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone, what can you do?

You and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

You know there will be days
When you're so tired
That you can't take another step
The night will have no stars
And you'll think you've gone as far
As you will ever get

well you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

And yeah, yeah go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me

I can't really say
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself

And you and me walk on
yeah, you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
walk on, walk on, walk on
you can't go back now.
