The very first time I am really actually driving around in California was today. I had to go to the SFO airport. I was already a little iffy about where to go. I didn't know that international flights ment coming in and out of the country and domestic is just normal. I was accidently up above witht he internataional flights so I decided to call Elizbeth to find out where to go, next thing I know there is honking going on. (I am just ignoring it) and then I come to a stop at a crosswalk where people are waiting to cross. Next thing I know this man a rather normal looking man is slowly walking up to my car and whips out his San Francisco Police Department badge at me, I am just dieing cause I have no idea what is going on, in the mean time I am still on the phone. The first thing he says to me is why are you talking on your phone?! All I could say was I don't know. He told me to hang up the phone so I did, then he started on talking to me like I was from California or something! He asked if I had a California drivers license. I said no I am from SLC Utah I just got here on Monday. Then he gave me the scoop on how talking on the phone while driving is 180 dollar fine and blah blah blah, in the mean time I am freaking out inside thinking I don't need a huge ticket in my first week! Luckily the cop was doing a investigation so I didn't get a ticket! whew!! I have a headset now though!

I figure that it is about time I do another blog! Well where do I start?! I am finally here in California, I am almost settled in, I am still waiting on a another box to be shipped. I am loving every second of it! I am having so much playing with the boys! I met a nanny that is in the neighborhood that one of the boys are good friends with. She is so nice, we are planning on doing some fun things together with the kids. I don't regret doing this at all, I would not second think this at all. The other nanny that comes in during the weeks the hubby is gone is so nice as well. Her and I get along great (she is a great cook!) I can't believe Friday is almost here, then Monday I will have been here for only a week, wow it feels like time is already flying by. I am starting to get my way around town, at first I was totally freaked about getting lost, but it is actually pretty easy for the most part. I am still waiting to hear back from my bishop to find out where the singles ward is for my area! (He is taking forever to get back to me pretty ANNOYING!) Other than that life is going great! I am having a total blast! I can't wait to meet some new friends and get my new life going!

Well I am waiting to board my plane, unfortunately it has been delayed by a hour. I realized something big, you never know how hard it is to say goodbye until you absolutely have to. I was doing just fine, until I saw my brother Justin. I was a little worried that he would not make it in time to say goodbye! I was so happy to see him even if it was to say goodbye! I already miss my family, but not to the point where I want to sit here and cry. I am still very excited, I am nervous that is for sure but everything will be fine. This is just going to be just another chapter in my life. I am so excited I just want it to begin already! :) Well more posts are to come, it will be interesting to see how busy I really will be.. Goodbye Utah...... HELLO CALIFORNIA!!!!

I have no shipped out 2 boxes of my crap that will remind me of home! I leave in 2 days so I have decided to start packing clothes and what not, my room is getting so bare! I deep cleaned my room and bathroom for the last time for a while, that was not fun! Everything has been so much fun. I have been busy spending time with as many people as possible before I go. I am going to miss my friends and family for sure, it is starting to sink in. People are always asking, "are you scared"? I always so no, but the truth is I am! I am not so much scared of the whole becoming a "nanny" part it is more of meeting new people. I am so used to the surroundings here in Utah that I am who I am, it is going to be tough the first week at the singles ward. That is what I am scared of the most, going in there all by myself wanting to meet new friends. I know that it won't take long to get back to being myself. There is a first time for everything, might as well just get used to it. :)

Well it is now down to a week until I leave. We have had quite the amount of parties for me leaving. I am getting to be nervous, it is starting to sink in that I am actually going to be leaving. I am getting my room packed up with just the little things I want to take to remind me of home, cute little decorations. I so far have had a lot of fun just spending time with my family and friends. I am so grateful that I have them in my life. I don't know what I would do with out them all!

Well in order for me to complete the contract I needed to get a few check ups. Today I went to the dentist! (First time in two years) I was nervous as can be, who knows what he would say. Come to find out that I had one cavity starting to form in a ridge of my tooth! The dentist was shocked at how clean and healthy my teeth were! I am so glad that I started flossing when I did, which was like a month ago. The dentist said it himself, my teeth are perfect and he is jealous of my teeth! I go back on the 18th for a cleaning! My teeth will be clean and ready to go!

Well the day finally came! I am now the big 18! wow! :) Now that I am a "adult" we are finishing up the final process of the contract. I am still set you leave on the 22nd of August. I just got back from my last weekend at the cabin for a long time. It was seriously needed I miss being able to go up whenever I felt like it. I went to the little get together that was held up there, um yea... I didnt really know a single soul but bingo was sure fun! I wish that weekend didn't have to end. I loved spending time with my dad. I know with me leaving it is going to be as hard as ever but I can do it! Good thing for technology!! hahaha

It seems like everyone is asking the same questions, are you nervous? are you excited? Well as the time is now getting closer I will admit I am getting nervous about leaving home. I know for a fact that I will get home sick, but I will have to get over that quick. :) I now have my very own laptop! I am super excited, the list of things I need to do before I leave is getting smaller! woot woot! So I asked my dad, "Dad, what are you going to do when I leave?" he simply said "Cry". How sad is that! But its his baby getting out in the world and exploring out of state! I am going to miss everyone o so much, so I will make sure we stay in touch through, email, texting, facebook ect. :)
