As I stumble through life I've found that writing is a strength for me to work through, look back on, share, and enjoy. I hope that I can share life experiences with others and hopefully learn more along the way. And if you like art, check out my website.. www.paintexpressionart.com .

Smells like home.

Well.. I have been quite busy and very disconnected from social networks on the internet. It's been nice. I do like the internet and all but at the same time it is absolutely FANTASTIC to be in a social environment again.. meaning Santa Barbara. =D In washington it seemed like there were days when the internet was the most exciting thing going on and that is dumb. I don't want my life to be like that.
I arrived in Santa Barbara monday and worked my first week tues-fri. We'll see how it goes- I won't publicly comment on that yet.
I stayed busy every night of the week so far with or without people and it was absolutely great.
Last night i moved into my room, which I love!! I stayed up late to unpack everything and organize. Organizing always feels like some form of medicine to me. Couldn't tell ya why.
Today I did a little more to my room, played some intense soccer, sketched at a coffee shop, went to a friends.
I must say I feel old. My body that is. I know I'll be fine but I am really feeling the soccer games at this point. I want to ice my whole lower body. My shins are definitely beat up and I learned my lesson about not having proper attire. I haven't really re-visited soccer since I was younger. No reason why but I played for a long time as a kid and loved it.
Well.. this move has been wonderful. I have not second guessed it once. I have not missed my life in washington once. I know that sucks to say but that comment doesn't have anything to do with my loved ones. This feels more then right and I haven't felt this at home for a long time. It's so weird how much I did not realize how uncomfortable washington was. I mean.. I was uncomfortable and didn't want to be there but now that I'm here its a lot clearer to me.
I think a lot of good will come of this and continue to come.
I also have felt very strongly that God was doing some serious work in me preparing for this season. Big plans.
I really do dream big. I love doing everything which can be good and bad because I constantly battle what to do. Day by day.
Tomorrow I hope to not be a zombie and a creaky sore mess and get up for church =).
First day at church here and I will be going alone. Which I'm ok with.
Goodnight.
