Well here we are now living in Concord, CA. It has been 2 months since we moved into our cute but ridiculously expensive apt. (try $1600 a MONTH to live here!) in the east bay area. After 2 long months of job hunting I finally got the position of the Assistant Director of a Knowledge Learning Corporation School. It will be great business management experience in a kid-friendly environment! What more could I ask for? It will be great! I start on Tuesday!
This morning I am finishing up some things like baking, wedding album creating, errands and packing some clothes for our Easter weekend in Turlock with my "country family!" I love it at my in-law's place. So relaxing and easygoing!
I just put on some Corinne Bailey Rae to sing to and all of a sudden had an urge to express what I feel when I listen to her. See I bought the album when we were living close to my sister in Irvine. I hear Corinne and instantly I am transported back to Irvine, taking in the salty ocean air, knowing that Laguna Beach is just a 20 min drive away. Knowing that I can walk over to my sister's condo and we can go to Fashion Island together or a quick trip to Target. Or maybe just laze by her pool, reveling in the awesome fact that we are granted the opportunity to prance around like celebrities while our loving husbands are working away to provide for us. We will probably never be given that carefree feeling back again. She's moving up to Washington, I now have a job again, kids will come soon after and so on. Life is speeding up again for me. I am so grateful for the past 9 month whirlwind of not having to work. Although moving 3 times in that period, traveling constantly, and being at home alone a lot during the days was at times painfully lonley and drove me crazy-this time has also given me times that probably will never happen again until my retirement one day. By then no one will want to look at my wrinkley sister and I as we try to strut our once hot bunz at Laguna Beach. The hot guy playing volleyball wont come help us set up our beach umbrella, he'll laugh at the crazy outdated getups we are wearing which we think are hot. But we will still strut, depends and all, knowing that once we were!
