My first week here has been absolutely great. I'm really starting to get the hang of things and the pace of L.A. life. I still catch myself wondering if this is really happening and if I really decided to do this haha. I love that I already spent those first two weeks with the family in Tahoe and so now, I can focus on learning how to drive here, how they want things done, and what an average day for them is like.
I'm super busy so I'm gonna have to make this shorter than usual.
All of the kids are really cute and climbing all over me, begging me to play just one more game of tag before dinner. We went to the L.A. zoo and I loved it.
Kids are still kids though, and I have had to lay down the rules and get after them, but if that's them at their worst then this job can't be too rough.
I've had to somehow figure out how to fit online college into this and the mom is really great at making sure I have everything I need and plenty of time for homework.
The car they're letting me drive around is a black dodge durango and it's so sweet. I absolutely love it and it drives like a dream.
I drove around for the first time on Wednesday and that was def somethin else! The roads here are so so tiny and everything is right up next to everything else on the road. Driving to my house is like winding up on the backroads of Brazil or something. Except instead a little shacks everywhere, it's gigantic mansions and then smaller but nice houses. Even the smaller ones are really nice and I'm sure it costs an arm and a leg to live in one.
It just blows my mind that there are such insanely nice houses here, but no one thinks it's important to fix these impossibly complicated roads. Oy.
Along with the cell phone service up here. It's ghastly. I hardly ever get service and it's so annoying. I have my own landline so that's nice, but my cell phone recently had some kind of stroke and threw out all of my contacts...
I took it to a T-mobile store today (which was SO hard to find, then get to) and they said there's nothing they can do about it. So that's awesome... Are ya Freakin KIDDING ME??
So. Please text me with ur name. I would greatly appreciate it.
But while I was waiting to cross and get back to my car on the intersection at Beverly Dr and Rodeo Dr, Courtney Kardashian drove by in her white BMW convertible with cameramen in the backseat and everything! I did a double-take and everyone else acted like it was no big deal. I'm guessing they must see camera men a lot around here. weird.
I'm excited to go to my singles ward this sunday and get involved :) I would really love to do something with locals up here that know where to go and what's a good time.
Until then- that's all folks!
