"They got the sleigh rides and sleigh bells too. But we got convertables, at Christmas we cruz. We never made a snow man, but we're working on our sun tan. Everyone knows--that we can have a holiday, celebrate it our way. You know I'm talkin' 'bout...Christmas time in California. All this fun here waiting for ya."
Ever since I first heard the Christmas song "Christmas in California" by the Cheetah Girls, I always loved it. Now I feel like I can actually relate to it. Having been out here in Cali for the past two Christmases. I have to work today at the movie theater but had a little time before so I thought I'd just put up a quite blog post. The weather has been colder the last couple of weeks and then yesterday it decided to warm up to about 75 degrees. Felt more like spring then Christmas time. But that's what you get with California.
I just wanted to say wish everyone well on this very special day of the year. I hope everyone has a great day filled with lots of love and wonderful memories made! Just make sure in all the celebrations and gatherings that you remember the reason for the season..Happy birthday Jesus! He is the real reason we all celebrate!
All though its been said many times, many ways...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

On the Move
Hey everyone, sorry its been so long yet again since I last wrote. I haven't had internet at my house until just recently. Now I have it again so I will try not to be so absent for so long. Just some updates on what I've been up to...
First, I have moved. I am still living in the same area, just moved to a different house. I moved about two months ago and am I feel like, finally settled in. The house is bigger then the other place I stayed at but it is still just as nice. I am still renting a room and the only down side is that I now share a bathroom, but its not too bad. The new family has been great and welcoming. Even telling me "to make myself more at home". I do miss the other family (after all I did stay there for about 2 years), however my new home is great too.
I was able to go back home to Virginia for Thanksgiving again this year and it was a blast! But like always it made me feel homesick once I got back to Cali. I took my good friend, Ashley back home with me this time as well. She comes from a bit of a smaller family then mine - having only one brother - so I wasn't sure exactly how she'd fit in. But she had a great time as well. She had never been to VA and aside from the colder weather towards the end of our trip - she seemed to adjust just fine. I did make to trip a little longer this year - making it a week and a half instead of just one week - which was very much worth it. As always it was great to see my family and made me realize how much I miss not being around them all the time, but I was happy to get back to my new home Cali as well.
What else? I am still trying to pursue acting and am trying to get signed to an agency. Its been frustrating not having one but I know God has a plan in all of this, even if I don't see it. And I've just been trying to just enjoy life and take it one day at a time. Just to live in the moment and be thankful for everyday I have. I can see some things already that I am so thankful to have been a part of and many great memories that I wouldn't have been able to have if not for still being where I am today. So I am grateful. I've been spreading my wings and just going for things I think would be fun and I would enjoy. Such as applying for different jobs and programs. I'm just trying to open myself up as much as possible and see where God puts me. Lately I've been seeing God's hand in closing doors of opportunity, I just wish that He would open some as well. I know He has big plans for me and that they still include CA right now. Hopefully in the new year some of them will become clear.
I've also been taking this time to focus on some writing projects and really get them done. I have been staying pretty focused on one right now. Right now I am working mainly on a 1-hour Drama (with some comedy) TV show idea. It is a southern show that takes place in Nashville and the world of country music. This show is very close to my heart. I would really like to try and get it sold to a production company to be made into a real TV show, once its ready. And I'm hoping to be able to find somebody to work closely with me on it. I already have a whole season breakdown of what I want to write to happen in each episode. Currently I have just under half of the pilot episode written for it so far and am still going strong.
Anyway, those are about all of my highlights currently. I will try and get another post up soon about the current projects I have done background work for and other activities I've been up to. Until next time...

Harvest LA
I was unable to go to the Harvest Crusade at Angel Stadium in Anaheim this year like I have the previous two years. However, this year they added a new location...Dodger Stadium in downtown LA! I made sure to go to that one, since I missed the other. I was also so excited to check out the stadium! It was held on September 10, 2011, just about a week ago, so I have a still fairly recent update for you guys, yay! LOL
Two of my closest gal pals (and co-workers at the theater), Ashley & Desiree and I were all able to attend together which was a blast. The Katina's were there again hosting the worship time, as well as Kirk Franklin, Jeremy Camp (who I looked forward to most) & Chris Tomlin all performed. I took some really good photos unfortunately, I took them on my phone - so I have no way to get them on here currently. Ah, technology! LOL. However, I did get some on my camera as well and they are below..enjoy :)

Kirk Franklin
Louie Zamperini
My pastor, Greg Laurie
People coming onto the field to give their life to Christ. They had so many people come down that they had to stop letting people because the fire marshal said there were too many below. Greg Laurie said that has never happened at any Crusade before. Over 5,000 people gave their lives to Christ that night. Praise the Lord!
9/11 Candlelight/cell phone remembrance ceremony
Los Angeles Dodgers baby!
The famous "Think Blue" Dodger sign outside the stadium
Stadium lights as we leave...and oh yeah, just a little bit of traffic. Just a little bit that took us over 40 mins to exit the stadium.
