Oh Boy.

Hello all! (if anyone still reads this, that is) Sorry about the delay for this post. I have been pretty warn out lately. As many of you now know, this has been the CRAZIEST season that The Marine Mammal Center has seen for 10 years. Yeah. It figures it's the summer that I come,lol. Anyway, the constant influx of malnurished sea lions has caused me to lose my crew day. Which basically means that I hardly ever get to work with the animals now. I am on the rescue line 8 hours (if not more) a day. Not exactly what I was expecting for this internship. I have been really frustrated about this lately. Especially today for some reason. I am just trying to figure it out. (always trying to find the logic, of course).

Did God bring me here to show me where he wants me? To let me know that I will NOT be working at TMMC? To lead me somewhere else? Or is it something bigger than that? Did he bring me here for the sole purpose of showing one person (or even more)His greatness? If that's the case, then I really shouldn't complain. I haven't told anyone about this yet, because honestly, I forgot about it until right now. The other day my boss, Shelbi, was talking about her commute to Petaluma. (the town just north of me where I go to church). So I chimed in and said "oh! I was in Petaluma yesterday." She sounded very confused when she asked me why on earth I would be there. So I told her, "Oh, I go to church there." On a Wednesday, she asked?? So I explained that I can't go to church on Sunday because of my hours, so I opt for Wednesday nights. She sounded very intrigued and asked me what denomination I was. As the stupid phones rang, I squeezed in a "Non-denominational christian!" before I was forced to answer. The look on her face was very interesting and I was SO bummed that the phones would not stop ringing after that, so our conversation ended there. So, I have been praying for more opportunities with Shelbi.

I have been super homesick lately. I am really bummed that I missing Elise's birthday. I hate missing birthdays. And I hate being too poor to send a gift,lol. I am also pretty upset that it's looking like I won't be able to go home until October. Uck. Buuuut good news!! MY WEBCAM WORKS!!! I now have a skype account!! So look me up!!:) Oh! Also, I changed the settings on my blog so that anyone can comment! So you don't have to be a registered user or anything:) i like comments..hint hint. ha. I am getting SO excited for my birthday! Honestly, I don't even care about gifts or anything, I am just so happy to have a visitor! A pretty special one too;) Wow, I am going to be 22. I'm old! Yeah yeah, i know..."it's not old! wait til your 30!" Buuut I am not supposed to be old...I'm the baby of the family! Haha-let me really freak the fam out for a second ... if I were Rachel I would already have been married for TWO YEARS! Weeeiiirrrrd. lol.

Well, I suppose I have run out of things to say for now. Today was pretty boring. The highlight of my day was that I actually cooked. Weird, I know. I made a chicken pot pie..thanks to Katie's easy recipe:) Rach, remind me to give that to you! It's a quick and easy meal for ya! Ok, peace out.
