life tastes good

This week was a really weird week; i felt really down and run over, like i wanted to give up on things. i was losing confidence in my ability to do this year, but then i thought to myself, even if i don't feel like I’m doing a good job at anything right now, let me just keep going, keep trying. So that's what i did, even if i didn't feel like my life was productive or good, i just kept going and didn't give up. i started organizing my life with budget, goals, and schedules...it felt good to get things sorted out a little, and by the end of the week i felt like my confidence was raised :) 

In terms of work, the kids were the best they'd ever been this week, which was really nice for me. i did like fun stuff with them, like painting, a little treasure hunt thing, and just fun playing around with them. i think after 3 months, I’m getting so much more used to everyone, and everyone is getting so much more used to me.

I hung out with Qarla more this week, we went to a Texas Mexican restaurant in freehold with her two friends, and i had real Mexican enchiladas which were very cool, i always have fun with her. The week before we had Chinese food in freehold and i tried new stuff there too. i find myself being so much more adventurous this year, like trying everything before i say i do or don't like it. It's actually lots of fun being crazy and adventurous.

Our "date nights" hehe

I also bought my plane ticket to Missouri this week, which felt cool. It’s the first time I’ve ever bought a plane ticket for myself anywhere!!

i found a really cool thrift store in freehold called second hand rose, http://freehold.patch.com/listings/the-second-hand-rose, and bought some really nice, inexpensive clothes.

today was mother’s day and i went to church feeling a little sad and bleak cuz i missed my family back home, and my family here was having like a big lunch with all their family around, which to me felt like Christmas, so i missed being with family. But at church i met amazing people and Godly woman who were just so friendly to me and so loving and generous and inspiring, so that made me feel a lot better.

Like i said, this week was a bit crazy but overall it was a good week.

Oh my gosh, almost forgot to tell about the baseball game i went to! I went to a Mets verse Arizona something team, it was AMAZING to say the least. There were like thousands of people, in this phat ass stadium, loud and buzzing and just such a vibe. i know nothing about baseball so i'm not sure how the actual game was but it was an unbelievable experience! enjoyed it so much. 

Love to you all!!! xx
