My Happy Place


It doesn't matter where, as long as I'm on the beach, I'm at peace. All of the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders and have been forgotten for a few hours. The sand between my toes and the sun on my skin relaxes me and sound of the waves crashing soothes me.

Ever since I was a little girl, something about being at the beach calms me. I'm happy. No worries in the world. I don't even worry about getting a sunburn (which I did on Saturday, by the way. Haha. I've had worse and it's basically a tan already.)

I used to have to travel 2-5 hours to go to the beach and now I'm just a few minutes away. I can go whenever and where ever I want. I'm surround by beaches. I fall in love with this place more and more every single day. It's where I feel like I belong and I want to be here as long as I can.

Getting Into The Groove Of Things


It's been a while since I've updated everyone. I haven't been able to post anything on my blog yet. It's really hard to blog on my phone. I'll be buying a tablet this weekend to hold me over until I get a new laptop. (If y'all have any suggestions on what to get, that'd be great! -- looking into iPads & the Microsoft surface thing. Haha)

I've been here almost a whole month! It's so insane to think about. Time really has flown by & I really enjoy it here. I've met lots of amazing people & have already made some friends that I hangout with. Everything has just been so good. I'm so happy & I'm excited about each & every day here.


No, I am not super tan yet...no cute tan lines, more like a farmers tan from the many walks I take every day with the kids. I haven't been to the beach since my mom was here. I'm really hoping that will change soon, now that I've gotten myself adjusted & have people to hangout with.

I'm still trying to find my go-to Japanese place to eat here, since there isn't a Fuji. My favorite place to hangout is the mall just 10 mins down the road. I love just walking around, even if I don't buy anything.



Work & living with the family I work with has been so nice. It's nice that I work where I live because I don't have to get up an hour or so early to get ready and leave. The family & I get a long great. Finally found my groove with the kids & everything has been going smoothly, especially nap time now. I love snuggles from the 7 month old & the 2 year old is attached to my hip most of the day. She's my best bud. She comes into my room 20 times a day. She loves being with me when I get ready in the mornings or when I'm getting ready to go somewhere. She watches me as I do my hair & makeup & loves it when I pretend to put deodorant on her & do her makeup. She does get into my stuff a lot...that's going to take some getting used to. She took my shoes that I was going to wear the other day & threw them out the door as I was getting ready to leave for sports night...then went to go picked them up to give them to me & tried to hide them instead. Haha. This is definitely great practice for when I have my own kids someday, that's for sure!

Once I get my new iPad or Surface, I will be keeping everyone updated more often! I even plan to give my blog a new fresh look! I can't wait!
