Okay, so nothing really new is going on here in my life. I still haven't gone back to church, but a really cool thing has happened and that is, my sister and her family are starting to go! Yeah God! I'm so thrilled! She never really wanted to go, and my mom used to force her to go once a month. Well, now she is going to a non-denominational christian church and she is taking her daughter, and when her husband doesn't have to work overtime on the weekend he goes too! He is a police officer, and you know how crazy his schedule can be! Well, I'm starting to think, I want to look into going to a church like that. I have always been the kind of person who loves the singing and music aspect of church.....don't sit there and preach to me and tell me I'm going to hell if I don't do XY or Z! I want to go, and feel the excitement of those around me, and enjoy being in the house of the Lord, and it just seems that now a days, that is really hard to find! I love churches that have the whole live band thing, and tell you to come as you are, you don't need to dress up for the Lord and everything. I mean, think about it, in all honest, that is how the Lord wants you to come! He doesn't want you to put on this cover/act just for him, act as though it is just another day, I mean, he does see you every day, so it isn't like he thinks you dress and act this way all the time, so come as you are! Ahhhhh, so refreshing to just think about! So, I guess I will have to look into finding a church sometime. The only problem, is that I feel bad if I go and start a church and then know I will be leaving the next weekend and who knows when I will be able to go back! So, I think I might wait a bit for when I know I will be home a few weekends in a row and will be able to go!
So, some would wonder how work is going. Well, GREAT NEWS! My boss told me yesterday, well actually what happened is that he said next to my desk, to our secretary Pat, he said "Pat, I need you to send in the paperwork to change the Farm Bill Program Assistants from Temporary to Term Positions!" Well, what this means, is that I can have them rehire me this coming November when my year is up for another year, and actually they can do this so that I can work for them up to a total of 4 years. The best part about this is that I will now be entitled to benefits! WooHoo! No more paying an outragous price for my health benefits! I'm sooooo psyched! It is sooooo awesome! I will be getting health, dental, vision, retirement and I believe life insurance which is sooo cool! Can you tell I'm excited?!
Okay, better get back to work, it is almost lunch time and I need to go and get lunch! Oh, also, I will be getting a new cell phone hopefully today with a new number! I'll be emailing everyone who's number I have with it, so be on the look out for it! Later gator.........

OH MY GOODNESS!
Okay, so I haven't posted in what seems like FOREVER! Okay, so sorry about that, but to my knowledge, no one really reads my blog. Quite possibly this could be due to the fact that I don't post! Hmmmmm, interesting!
Okay, so my cat didn't come home the other night. My parents were really upset and I was like, the cat will come home. They thought it got eaten by something, and I was like, no, my cat is too cool, don't worry she will come back. Welp, 5 days later, who would appear with her face pressed up against the sliding glass door meowing her head off? Yep, she was back! I told my parents she didn't get eaten. My cat is too cool! Apparently, my dad thinks she might of gotten stuck living in all my stuff outside in the car port. Now, if you have seen my apartment, you know how much stuff is there, and you can imagine how she could live there for 5 days! So, my cat is home, I'm happy.
I'm still working here in Salinas. Last week, there was a shooting in the mall. Yep, good ol' Salinas has a shooting in the Mall. The stupid gang members hit each other and 2 shoppers and the security guard. They got away, no one died, but apparently one of them showed up at a hospital in Watsonville (about 15 minutes away) with a bullet wound that they needed attending to. Hmmm, I guess, they haven't had the course on how to clean your own wound in gang training yet! Some people. Personally, I would love to let them all come over to my house, I have a very big open field, and they can shoot each other until they all die, or realize how stupid they are. Now, I know some people would say, it isn't stupid to be in a gang. They are like family to me, they treat me better than my family. Well, hate to break it to you, but there are other organizations you can get involved with, where you make awesome friends who you would also end up feeling like they are family. So, why not get off your butt, and finish getting your education and do something positive with your life? Or is that asking too much? Probably!
Anyways, I found a long lost friend this week. It was so awesome. I had been thinking about him and wondered what was up with him and why we had lost contact with each other. So, I googled him. Yep, I sure did. 3 pages came up about him. One of them ended up having an email address for him. So, I emailed him and he responded right away! It is so great being in contact with him again! I totally missed his friendship. Now, I am going and googling other people that I have missed in my life. Not many of them that I don't keep in contact with. We will just have to see what this ends up producing in my life. Hopefully all good things.
Oh, by the way, have I mentioned to anyone, that I am struggling with my walk with God. Yeah, anyone want to talk about this. I haven't been to church since who knows when. I mean, I did go for Christmas, and I totally felt like a Holiday Christian, it was aweful. I just don't know. Maybe I need to look for another new church. I mean, I am in a new city, and I haven't gone to church here yet, only because of the fact that I haven't been here on the weekend. I will hopefully be here finally last weekend in January. I'm going to look into going to church with someone from the park I live in. They are the same denomination as myself and we will see how this turns out. I haven't been going because I just don't enjoy it anymore. I don't feel God in my heart, I don't feel fully of joy when I am there and when I leave. I don't want to say I feel like I wasted a few hours when I leave, but I just feel like, why did I go? I didn't enjoy it like I always have. I didn't feel like I got anything out of it. Hmmm. Any advice?
Okay, back to work I must go, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho.
