It has been WAY too long since I've posted a blog and I sincerely apologize, but I've had so many things going on!

The last time I wrote, I believe it was in February and I was having a rough time adjusting to not only moving here, but not having my Grandmother to help me through it and while I'm still not anywhere near settled on the latter part of my previous statement, I am trying to find my path here in the PNW (Pacific Northwest for you folks out there who've never been here before or have never heard that acronym).

Last I spoke with you all on here, I was believe I was searching for a new job. Well, TA-DA! I'm a month and 2 weeks into a NEW job! I worked for Nabisco for almost 3 and a half years, and while I liked it when I was in California, transferring here, I do believe, was a mistake. I didn't like my sales rep and my hours got more than cut in half. But now, here I am, working at a new job where I work at the minimum 40 hours per week! It's a pretty drastic change, but so far I'm really liking the job and the people I work with. I truly feel blessed.

I've basically just been trying to adjust to life here in the PNW, adjust to the rain, the gloom, the chill of living right off the water... It's just so different than what I'm used to. Not to mention, I'm so far from what family I have left and friends that I feel like are family. Supposedly though, these next couple months are supposed to be amazing here. We'll see.

I'm going to be coming back to California at the end of May! I seriously can't wait to see everyone, take my nephew to Universal Studios, grill with friends, enjoy the heat and just relax at a place that I feel at home. My husband and I both can't wait! We're so excited to be somewhere that you have to wait until later in the day to go outside because you'll get a sunburn almost immediately if you spend time outside during the day. HA! I never thought I would miss the Central Valley and it's horrible air quality, it's hail cannons, it's dust and tractors taking over the roads, but let me tell you the grass is NOT always greener!

Well, technically here it is because everything is always green...

Anyway, I just wanted to write a quick "Hey I didn't forget about my blog" blog, and I'm going to try to write one once a month. Just to keep everyone updated and sometimes share a fun recipe or two :)

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and are ready for this coming work week, because I know I am!

Make it a great week or not: The choice is yours :)
