A recap of the past few days

OK so I am walking to work from where I park across at another business in a hidden parking lot we rent. As I am walking in the other companies driveway I look no cars coming and I enter the driveway and I hear a car coming and I turn to my right I see a big white F150 coming straight at me. I keep walking because I see him and of course he sees me right? Then I stop in my walk as I realize he is not slowing down and if I keep walking I am going to become a hood ornament. So he stops and smiles, says sorry and motions me to go ahead I smile and say "No thank you, you seem to be late and I don't want you to be any later" He motions me to go and I say "Please go, I really am not comfortable going in front of your truck. He pulls up and apologizes again and I say "Thank you, but please be careful next time...have a good day". Fortunately for me one or two of our employees saw the events and were concerned for my safety. Sweet huh?

I had my ultrasound last week. I am very naive about how medical procedures work.So I will just say it was interesting. I received a call this afternoon with the results and I now need to see a gynecologist. Medical procedure is in my future.

Spencer is leaving La Jolla for the windy city and I am sad. While we lived close to each other we didn't spend a lot of time together but it gave me a sense of security to know I had a family member near by. First time in a LONGGG time that I have lived close to a family member that I trust with my life and love more than life. Seriously I would lay down my life for Spencer, Laura or Natalie - these are the kids that are the closest to me having children so there is nothing I wouldn't do for them. 

Last week during the SD blackout he was in Chicago with his mom. I was saddened by this but it also gave me an opportunity to realize he would soon be gone. Good luck my retirement plan nephew has a bright future.

So back to the blackout that was an exciting night. I was scheduled to work at the San Diego temple but at 3:35 or so the power went out. We had issues with our compressors so I thought great now it took our lights out..we soon found out it was all over San Diego. I drove home and realized I was all alone in this big city. Well not really but it helped me see that I was semi prepared, I have good neighbors and never ever give up your extra fully charged cell phone. My work phone is T Mobile and they lost service. My personal phone Verizon was fully charged but in Carlsbad with my French co worker.

I went to an Angels game on Friday and the 9th inning was so exciting I bruised my hands clapping. Yes, clapping. I guess for all the games I missed this season I made up for all that clapping and bruised my hands.
By the way I shared a link to a talk on FB of an article I came across by accident on Sunday. Seriously I did not go looking for this article it just popped up in a search I did. I guess when you set a goal to develop faith in an aspect you need to prepare to have things happen and read them. I don't want people to think I am one of those desperate girls who all of a sudden is wanting to get married. I am not. I just know that since I was maybe 6 or 7 I always said I never wanted to get married or have kids. I can only relate it to my parents divorce. The feeling became stronger and solid as I saw my mom's 2nd marriage as it really was and my dad (step) was no longer my heroe and I just resented him for who he was. I am not a man hater or bitter...I just had a hard time believing I could ever be married but have seen so many good examples of good marriages in my life. I just have never believed I was capable or deserved to have one? I don't know. OK enough disclosure.

The past week has been comical and interesting but one thing I have learned NEVER GIVE UP!!! I have an amazing family and friends.
