Haha- my blog title.

Crazy how it's totally relevant now!

The past 3 weeks have been jam packed busy. For starters, I moved to San Francisco! Crazy hills they got there. I'm gonna have awesome thighs and buns. lol

So back in March, I interviewed for this job with a staffing company for the UCSF hospital as a pharmacy technician. This process lasted until 3 weeks ago, when they finally offered me a position! And let me tell you how God's hands were on this every single step of the way.

Since the beginning of the year, Neil and I have been praying about how we should proceed with the next step in our relationship. He's pretty settled and stuck in San Jose with his work and house, and I'm the one that's still living at home waiting for school applications to start. So we start praying about the possibility of me moving up, and mutually decided on June 2011- if God wills. So between Jan and May, I've had a few job interviews, but my eye was on this UCSF one and a Walgreens in Los Gatos. While the decision for UCSF was being dragged out, the manager at Walgreens was totally gracious and patient with my response.

3 weeks ago, the staffing company finally offered me a position at the hospital. He told me I could either start next week, or the week after. I still had to give my two weeks notice at my old job, so PTL! that day the job offer came, was exactly a 2 weeks notice for the new job. Originally, I had asked for a total of 3 weeks for my complete move to SF (2 weeks notice + 1 week of looking for housing/getting settled in). However, I wasn't able to get that 1 week; I only had a weekend! Thankfully, the weekend before was Memorial Day weekend, so my family and I drove up to SF to look for housing.

Another one of God's amazing blessings: my aunt has a friend who rents an apartment in the city (0.6miles away from the hospital). She doesn't live there because she's currently a 24/7 caretaker for her mom. But she wants to keep the apartment for future use, so she's renting to me as a "roommate." I'm not paying her full rent, the only thing I have to deal with is her stuff, but I get the whole 1 bedroom apartment to myself. Dude, I know. Praise God! So, housing, check.

Then I get a call from my hiring guy and says that the hospital isn't ready to train new employees yet, is it ok to postpone the start date another week. ... !!! ... This is where it blows my mind away cause... that week I thought I wouldn't be able to have... I NOW HAVE.

God is amazing. It has blown my mind, how His hand has been in every single step, and He's opened up doors that I could not have done by myself!

Also, my parents are moving to Castaic now... the next time I'm going home, will be in Castaic.. no longer the San Fernando valley. :O

Speaking of San Fernando Valley.... SFVHC, I'll miss you guys so much. You've been such a wonderful and encouraging family to get to know and grow with. I love you guys lots, and will visit you guys every opportunity I get<3 Thanks for the awesome AWESOME journal... I really LOVE it :)

Lots of goodbyes were said... but a lot of new friendships will form, it will be exciting.

God is GOOD. Praise the LORD.

Adventures to San Jose

Last Wed+Thurs I flew up to San Jose to see Neil... but with a purpose! Saw the epic Lakers vs Warriors game! It was *sings* epiccccccc! The stadium was awesome, I'd say like almost an even amount of Lakers and Warriors fans in the stadium. There were Lakers fans sitting in the Warrior section, and sometimes the cheers for the Lakers were louder than Warriors! I felt bad for them cause well, it's their home court, but nonetheless- it made for an entertaining game. :)

I also went to the Tech museum in downtown SJ and visited Body World. I have to say, it was a little disappointing :( The exhibit was a pretty small room and had less than 10 bodies and the fillers were like an anatomy class (displays of cross-sections of the body, bones, and models). But the Tech museum was fun! I played in there like a little kid. lol

My flight back to Burbank Thursday night was rudely delayed 2+ hours due to a lockdown incident at the terminal. Some lady decided to run through security and the whole terminal basically got shut down. I was waiting in the security line to be scanned and stuff, but worse was for the people ALREADY boarded and had to de-plane and get rechecked. lol I found out that my flight was held from the lockdown and that there were a little less than 100 people on the flight, and only 6 people hadn't boarded when lockdown was called. WELL... by God's grace and a ton of guilt- I was one of the 6 people they held the plane for. lol Thankfully, those 6 people remained anonymous! People were annnnngryyyy! haha

I really enjoy visiting Norcal, I enjoy the rain and how everything's so close by. Looking forward to visiting more often! :)
