I am in San Diego County
So I am living in a home without Internet access and this is a quick update for those faithful follower who may be wondering where I am what is going on and so on.
I was living like a homeless person with my car full of clothes in two suitcases and boxes of food and miscellaneous items in my car.
The place I thought I had found did not work out. I think there was signs along the way hinting that this was not the place I wanted to live. I think the big sign was me hitting the car in front of me on my way to putting my deposit. So this could be a story for another day and time.
When I moved and left the manor on Wednesday, February 2 it was a sad day for me. I was able to say bye to "the babe twice" and Sharon as I was leaving....it made me realize I would really miss these ladies. I got teary eyed and drove over to the Farrers to just say bye and return their air mattress. Then to my favorite C2 home teacher Ken Mackay and his wife; and of course their neighbor my friend Sharlene Cook. I eventually drove down Valley View to the 405. I was sad but excited.
I checked into my hotel room around 9pm and lived there until I checked out on Monday, February 7. I went to a ward in Oceanside that was in the boundaries of an apartment I thought I would live in but I wasn't crazy about the apartment or the ward.
I was tired of eating out and being alone in a hotel room so I crashed at my nephews home for two nights. It was so nice to meet some of his friends one night and cook him pollo con mole the next. Unfortunately, he found out I am a bad wife/mother as I did not get home that night from work until 9pm and we ate dinner at 10.
I am renting a room from a lady who is very nice and catholic. Jesus is everywhere in this home and the artists who portray him how they believe he looks is not in line with how I view him. So I am uncomfortable seeing this Jesus everywhere.
I did venture back to the OC last weekend as I had a rough week and was homesick and was wondering why I ever agreed to this transfer.
I had a great time learning to play Bunko and getting to know better Andi and Dan Wood they are hilarious! I had some maintenance done on my car and played hand on foot on Saturday night with the Boulton's.
Sunday morning I had a new attitude and got up early to drive down to San Diego and attend the PB ward. It was a challenge as I showed up to the building they no longer meet in and then had to drive to the right building. I met a girl Jo in the parking lot that was also attending for the first time.
I liked the ward a lot as the people were very welcoming and I even received a valentine's day rose from the Elders quorum.
There is an application process to get into this ward and I see the reason for it but I think it could be worded friendlier. So I have to attend four consecutive weeks before I can have my records transferred; meet with the bishop and have him interview and then when I am deemed worthy I can have my records transferred. So I guess that means I am still a member of Cypress 2nd Ward.
I went to FHE on Monday night and it was fun!!! I decided I need to focus my future living to Encinitas or south more to be close to the ward and activities.
I miss my life in the OC and I know that once I settle in to a regular place in San Diego I will love my new life in SD.
There are more short stories to tell so as soon as I can I will update.
