Savior I Come.......

It's amazing that no matter how far I wander I always end up back home.  Home being church and in the arms of God.  I am going to be completely honest I have struggled with my faith lately, I think when you have gone through so much both emotionally and physically it just becomes a struggle.  As a believer I know that these are the times to rely on him most but it just wasn't working for me.  I have been back to church the last 2 Sundays and it has been so comforting, feeling God's presence is such an amazing thing.  I have brought a friend with me that really needs to hear the word and meet the awesome God that I already know so it has been a completely new, amazing experience watching her experience God for the first time.  Whoever finds God, Finds LIFE!

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN

I really enjoy Southern California.  There are so many things about it, where do I begin......shall I start with the weather???... nice and cool in the morning/evening with amazing ocean breezes then around 11 ish it starts to warm up the sun burns off the marine layer and it is just beautiful....never too hot or too cold and pretty much every day you know what to expect.  The food.....so many places I love.....Lee's, Del Taco, In-N-Out, El Torrito and the list goes on, love stopping  by Del Taco in the mornings to grab a coke and a breakfast sandwich from Lee's makes for a great start to the day.  The massages: now I have found a place similar to CA massages here in OKC but the price isn't nearly as good......I think if you buy 5 - 1 hr massages they wind up being $15/hour you give a $5 tip and that's $20 for an hour massage.  Here it's $30 and I started off giving a $10 tip so now I can't give any less so that's double the price.  The beach/ocean......I think I could just stare at the ocean all day every day and never get tired of it.....laying on a towel or sitting in your beach chair and just listening to the tide roll in.....all while reading a book on the Kindle for me equals pure bliss.  The most beautiful for me was Laguna there are so many other beaches to go to but this one was by far my favorite (minus the 750 stairs down/up to get to and from your car).  The ability to see snow capped mountains, the beach and desert all in one day is pretty amazing too! I love driving to Palm Springs for the day and going to the spa where they have I think 7 different hot tubs (all different temps) and a pool for the small fee of $4 on a weekday for all day access (how can you beat that??).  There is downtown Disney with the palm tree lined streets it's beautiful during the day but at night it is even better all the palm tree trunks are decorated with white lights and it is so beautiful!!! I love going out on Saturday nights for dancing and a few drinks if there was a club like this one in OKC I might actually be able to go out to dance and have a good time and not leave feeling horrible about myself. 

Now let me just say this small tidbit......each time I have gone I have been on vacation.  With that being said, normal life, work etc may not be as much fun but I sure do love vacationing there!

Netflix Obsession

Random but the story of my life.  I have a very obsessive personality. I find something I like and I run it into the ground from eating (obviously), gambling (not anymore), reading, facebook, instagram, twitter, jigsaw puzzles (online), youtube, candy crush and for quite a while now Netflix.  I can't stop obsessively watching Netflix.  I clear out my DVR then hook up to the BluRay to watch Netflix, I have found so many random shows that I didn't even know existed and normally would never even consider watching.  I watch documentaries, tv series, movies just about anything that half-way interests me.  I can literally sit in my chair all day and watch Netflix it's ridiculous, I know this, but can't seem to stop.  I have admitted it in writing so for all my readers - there you go, one minor confession to my always boring sometimes embarassing life.  My obsessive personality strikes again!
