Update from Stockton

So I haven't blogged lately because A) I've been busy B) I've been on vacation and C) Not much to tell.  We, I figured since I had some extra time this Sunday, I figured now's a good a time as any!

Tomorrow marks a month that I have been in Stockton.  Work is going well, every day is the same yet different at the same time.  I am learning something new everyday and it's quite exciting.  I'm still trying to get a hold of America's Tire company to try and get them to reimburse me for the damage to my car.  I just don;t think it's a coincidence that this happened to my car 4 months after they worked on it.  I have been told that it you have your lug nuts over torqued that it can cause a shearing force on your lug nuts and bolts.  So just keep in prayer that something will happen with this situation.  It's quite frustrating!  Here are some picture of  my new apartment.

I was blessed with a flat screen TV!

Comfy couch

Love this kitchen!

I am quite blessed with an awesome job that provides me with all this!  I was just thinking about where I was this time last year...It's amazing where God will take you if you just let Him!

So I worked 2 weeks in my new contract and then took a week off for vacation.  I rented a car and drove down to Southern California.  It was busy and relaxing at the same time.  I went everywhere!! But it went all too quickly!!  I wish I would have taken more pictures.  My sister laughed at me when she saw it; breakfast, lunch and dinner x 5!  But it was fun.

My schedule was quite full!!

On Sunday, Mother's Day, I had the privilege of being with my Grandma!  I love her so much!!

 I loved seeing all my friends and family.  I forgot how much I missed them until I saw them them all again, but I know that I am where God wants me right now and that's what's important.  I think one of the best parts, there were many, but one of the best parts was seeing my nieces, Isabel, Julia and Olivia, and MY FAVORITE nephew Ryan!

Julia is a ham!

Isabel is getting so beautiful

Love that Ryan face!!

Thursday I got to have lunch with one of THE most amazing woman that I only knew from the phone until then!  We had such a great visit and I'm looking firward to the next visit!

I must say though, the highlight of my trip was driving down to Irvine to see all the wonderful people that work for StaffRehab!  I have never met any of them personally.  I got this job trough emails and phone calls.  Crazy, huh?  I love this amazing company that hired me.  I'm still trying to figure out why!!  So, if any of you fellow PTA's would like to travel, give me a call.  It's grand adventure!

On Friday, not only did I get to visit StaffRehab, but  I got to have lunch with Jasmine.  I hadn't seen her for at least a year!

Driving back was THE WORST!!  The I% is a long strip of NOTHING!!  What a boring drive!  Thank you Renae for talking with me on that long drive back.  I left at 9 am on Saturday, because I wanted to visit a friend of mine in Corona.  But that's ok.  We can always write.  I ended up leaving Corona about 11:30 and got into Stockton about 5:30.  It was a LOOOONNNGGG drive!!

I finally found a church down here!  YAY!!  It's a small body that meets in the gym of a Christian school. This morning one of the ladies asked me to attend a home bible study on Tuesday.  I'm looking forward to it.  I will keep you all updated on how things are going.  Well, that's all for now!!
