well, this weekend was long and wonderful and packed full of fun memories first off, The Hike.
on friday morning, josh and i packed a backpack full of what we thought were hiking essentials and put on what we thought was proper hiking attire. like i said earlier, neither of us are really the hiking type, so this was quite the adventure. we drove a little ways out of town, and began to follow the trail to the punchbowl. southern california has been getting a ton of rain this year, so the wildflowers were absolutely breathtaking. i so wish we had a digital camera so i could share the pictures we took. so we're hiking, and find that there is an abnormal amount of butterflies flying all around us. i thought it was kind of pretty at first, but then it began to feel a little like a plague, and i really tried hard not to get creeped out. i like butterflies in general, but swarms of them, not so much. luckily, they stopped swarming once we went down a ways, so i can still say that i like butterflies. we crossed a few streams, once taking off our shoes and socks to do so. on the other streams, josh would find rocks that his long legs could reach. i would stand there, on a rock, surrounded by water and say, "i can't do this!" and he'd always say, "yes you can!" and he'd reach out his hand to me, and i'd lunge, and he'd pull me onto the rock. by the 5th time we did this, i was beginning to feel rather proud of myself, though i think that josh should get all the credit for keeping my feet dry.
after about an hour and a half, we began to hear the sound of the waterfall that flows into this hole,which is deep enough to swim in. by this time, we had come across 3 other hikers, a mom with her son and daughter, who were also heading towards the waterfall. as we got closer, we could see a lot of people all scattered across the cliffs next to the waterfall. they were all wearing orange pants. soon it became apparent that they were all men, and the closer we got, the more i started to get a bad feeling. there were about 30 men, and they were all STARING at us, really intently. kind of like they hadn't seen women in a very long time. a few of them motioned for us to come closer and some of them whistled. i stayed huddled on a rock with the lady and her kids, while josh walked towards a few of the men who were walking towards us. by now, we could see that the black letters on the legs of their orange pants spelled PRISONER. we were scared. josh was not. he casually made small talk with the guys, who told him that they worked for the fire department (as if we can't read!) after awhile, whoever was in charge realized that these guys were intimidating us, so they all climbed up the cliff to the top of the waterfall, where they continued to stare at us as we ate our lunch. kind of took a little bit of romance out of the whole thing! josh took a couple of pictures of the waterfall, but it was impossible to get a picture without including guys in orange pants. oh well, at least we'll have an interesting story every time we show those pictures! the hike back up was gruesome and hard and reminded me of why we are not the hiking types. but it was fun, and once i forget the pain of it all, i'm sure i'll want to go back again.
yesterday we had a blast with josh's family, watching kaylee find easter eggs in the grass, (her mouth turning into a perfect, little round O every time she found one) and finding our own easter baskets. i never had easter baskets growing up, so this was a first for me. we had a delicious feast and then sat around and felt fat and ate chocolate from our baskets. it was lovely. when we got home, a friend of mine called and....get this...offered us free tickets TO SEE U2 TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!! i think i kind of freaked out on the phone, but its all a little fuzzy in my memory. i guess she got tickets for wednesday night for better seats, so we get to see U2 on the very FIRST concert of their world tour!! i am still in shock. josh and i love U2 (who doesn't?) in fact, we both, unknowingly, bought each other their newest cd for christmas! so, that is my big, exciting news.
other exciting and rather funny news that i feel i can now share is about my friend leah. (the married one with 2 kids, etc.) she and her husband decided that it was time for him to get a vascectomy. (i'm pretty sure i spelled that wrong) on the WAY HOME from getting snipped, leah starts to feel nauseated and throws up. turns out, number 3 is on the way! don't worry, they both have great sense of humour and are extremely happy. so am i :)
tomorrow is my first day of work. what will i wear? i don't care, i'm going to see U2!

drumroll please.... I GOT THE JOB!!!
yes, i did! yesterday i worked up at the julian library and got a call on my cell phone from the store manager, who offered me the job! so i start on monday. i am greatly relieved and happy, especially since i'm done with the business of quitting my loan job. i don't like making people upset at me, so was worried about my boss' reaction, but he was SO understanding and nice about the whole thing. so this morning, i feel as light as a feather.
i was also quite pumped about Sneaky Readers of my Blog who commented! brave souls, they are. since one of the Abarba-Pirates named katelyn commented, i now feel at liberty to post the link to the Abarbablog, where, if you visit, you will find yourself extremely entertained. i am especially a fan of sarah's stories. sorry, denise, i'm not as brave as beah and katelyn. i would be very sad if my religious reading of a certain blog had to be terminated, due to the wrath of the author. however, you are welcome to guess, and if you get it right, i'll tell you so.
i will enjoy my last weekend without work, as i will soon be thrown into the life of a full-time working woman again. tomorrow, if it doesn't rain, josh is going to take me on a hike to "The Punchbowl", a place i've never been. neither of us are really the hiking types, so i foresee a lot of snacking stops along the way. will be fun!
have a Blessed Easter, everyone!

still waiting...
i am still waiting for that call. every day that goes by without getting the call, i feel less and less optimistic about getting the job. *sigh*. have had quite a non-exciting day today so far. i got a call from our church to see if i could come in and answer phones for 2 hours while a staff meeting went on. it was really quite dull, but i got into this great book that i got for christmas from my mom. its called, "mudhouse sabbath" by lauren winner, the author of another one of my favourite books, called "girl meets god". lauren used to be an orthodox jew before she converted to christianity. in her newest book, she talks about many different jewish traditions and practices, such as keeping kosher, candle lighting, and keeping the sabbath. she brings out the beautiful, rich meanings behind each one and discusses how different aspects of these practices can illuminate our christianity in a whole new way. i am finding it fascinating.
josh has invited a co-worker over for hamburgers tonight, so i have been madly vacuuming the house and dusting, even thought i know that this guy won't notice at all. it just makes me feel better having a clean house. so, last night, after i wrote the last blog, i fooled around a little bit and figured out ALL BY MYSELF how to get a links section onto my blog! i was quite ecstatic about the whole thing, since i consider myself computer illiterate. so you'll have to check out the links to my friend's blogs. here is something kind of funny that i've been wondering about lately: i read the blogs of people i know. BUT, people i know also have links to their friend's blogs who i do not know. there are 2 such blogs that i read religiously. i know neither of the people that write them, but i feel like i know them because i read their blogs. i have never commented on either, as i think that would be kind of weird. but that got me thinking...is there anyone who reads my blog who has never met me? far from creeping me out, i think it would actually be rather flattering. feel free to comment!
well, off to squish raw, ground cow flesh between my fingers (sorry, cara!). i will blog AS SOON as i find out about the job.

my friend darla (the only one named darla)
so... the interview was postponed until friday and i thought it went really great, but... he hasn't called me back. the "interview" basically consisted of the manager telling me all about the job and presenting it to me to see if i wanted it! he was very friendly and enthusiastic and he even introduced me to the staff and everything. he said that had to process the results of my personality test and then he'd call me. (hmmm...i've always kind of suspected that my personality was total crap). the worst part is, i'm expecting his call, so its like i don't want to leave the house in case he calls, or i don't want to get on the internet and tie up the phone line. it feels sort of like back when i would like a guy and be waiting for him to call and scream at my siblings if they so much as touched the phone. it doesn't feel so good.
all the nervousness i've felt at the prospect of being interviewed for the first time in 8 years finally erupted in the form of a big, beautiful cold sore. i have been getting these for as long as i can remember, so its really not a big deal. the problem is that i seem to somehow have transmitted my cold sore to my best friend darla via email. darla has never had a cold sore in her life until now. she blames her schoolwork for this. i blame my computer.
i have known darla since we were in the same kindergarten class together 20 years ago. i have a distinct memory of her eating kiwis at recess time. i also remember that she was a stubborn child. she said, "no" to the teacher a lot. she has not changed much since then in that regard. we didn't become friends until many years later when i began to "go out" with her older brother. ("going out", at the age of 13 really meant that you held hands when no one was looking and called each other on the phone a lot. if you were lucky, you got a few kisses in there, too). our friendship had a rocky start though, because she and her brother would always fight about who got to talk to me on the phone. they would ask me who i wanted to talk to, and whoever i chose, the other person would be horrifically mad at me. it was not a great situation.
once darla's brother and i broke up, we were fantastic, inseperable friends. people would ask us if we were sisters and we'd giggle like crazy. we wrote notes to each other constantly and every time we saw each other, we'd have handfuls of notes to exchange, all folded in a very intricate way to make a perfect little square. throughout highschool, we drifted apart a little, but were always there for the Most Important Parts. darla was the one who held my hand while i got my tongue pierced and i was the one snapping pictures as a needle went through her navel. after she got married, nothing changed. in fact, we were closer than ever...burning plastic patio furniture in her backyard bon fire, drinking the entire fogg n' sudds martini list without passing out... we had some very memorable times together. but the most memorable was when we both decided that, together, we were going to try the whole christian thing again.
we both just started where we were, and took little steps at a time. before you knew it, we were leading a girl's bible study group together! we both became completely passionate about God and about sharing His love. it was amazing having a friend who was at exactly the same place in her spiritual journey as i was. the bond we had, and still have from that experience, is indescribable. darla is the one i go to when i don't know who to talk to. i can share absolutely anything with her and not be afraid of being judged. i know that any time, day or night, she would drop everything and be there for me if she had to. she is my bosom friend.
and now, darla is a mother of the most adorable one year old boy named chase. not only that, but she is in nursing school full time, pursuing her dream of caring for others through nursing. she just told me that she has something like 9 papers and 7 exams in the next 5 weeks. (hence, the cold sore) if i were her, i would be bald from pulling all of my hair out by now. i don't know how she does it, but i am so proud of her, my best bud.
love you, doorknob.

extremely nervous and not vain
i have a job interview at 1:00 today. i have not been interviewed for a job in 8 years. i am extremely nervous. the position is for assistant supervisor at family christian bookstore in escondido. at this point, i'm conjuring up every possible question he may ask me, and getting the answers on the tip of my brain, ready to give them without a moment's hesitation. the only problem is, i know how things work: he will not ask me any of the questions i am thinking of. does this stop me from thinking up questions? no. i have purposely avoided caffeine this morning to keep me from spazzing out. but right now a nice, hot mug of coffee sounds extremely comforting.
in other news, josh and i are famous. ( i would advise you to keep anything with our signatures on it, as they are becoming more and more valuable as we speak). actually, we are just featured on the brochure for wish photography (www.wishphotograf.com). the photographer, skip o'donnell, was our wedding photographer and when you open up his new brochure, there we are, large as life. it was kind of disconcerting at first, as our picture is one of the largest on the brochure. i said to josh, "does he think we're that good looking?" apparently he does. i was going to post that picture on this blog, but now i don't think i will, as it may appear that we are vain. we are not vain, i promise you. just beautiful.
had a very lovely weekend. on saturday we brought our recycling to the depot and got some wonderful cash that we immediately spent on friends season 9 dvds. we are addicted to friends, probably because we don't have cable. we try our best not to watch every single episode in one day, but rather savor them slowly. then we went to watch our friend's 6 year old son, shae play tee-ball. it was great! it was their first game and there were just dozens of the cutest little boys running around, caps covering their eyes, without a clue as to what they were doing. then josh took me to a golf course so that i could "practice my swing". we both knew that he really meant for himself to practice, since he was playing golf the next day, but i feigned ignorance and had a blast. i didn't even suck too badly. of course, next to josh, it looked like i really was awful, but all alone, i think i did pretty good. on sunday, josh golfed while jessica and i and the kids had dessert together, and then looked around target for awhile. went to church that evening. it was just a very pleasant weekend.
even though my interview is still 4 hours away, i feel an urgent need to figure out what to wear. must go.

tulip time
i feel the need to post a blog just to explain that i haven't been blogging lately because nothing exciting has been happening in my life. really. and also because i wanted to post a picture of my niece sarah who is, i believe, one of the most beautiful human beings that God has ever created. if you read cara's blog, you've already seen this picture, but as a proud auntie, i had to post it myself as well.
my little sister and brother are planning a trip down to see us next month, which will be fun. i was talking to cherie the other day and telling her that there may be a couple of days where josh and i will both be working and so she and jamie may have to stay here in ramona while we're gone. she said, "that's okay...its STILL california!" that made me laugh.
i've handed out a couple of resumes this week, in hopes of another part time job, since the 2 i have are not really keeping me that busy. i applied at a christian bookstore in escondido~ couldn't help it, really, since that's what i'm so used to doing, and i know so much about christian books. speaking of which, the church library that i've been wanting to start for some time now is finally kind of starting! we've been getting books donated by members of the church, so as soon as i get a bit of a budget, i can start processing them and get this library going! i get really excited when i think about it.
josh and i got a bunch of flower bulbs for free from a neighbor who works at a drugstore. apparently, its too late to sell bulbs anymore, so he got to just take them. neither of us knew if the flowers would come up, but we planted them anyway. sure enough, there are tiny green shoots popping up everywhere! i did a little dance when i first saw them, and josh ALMOST did too, except that he doesn't really ever dance unless i force him to. so we are pumped about that and now can hardly wait to see them start to flower. its funny because neither josh nor i were ever into gardening until after we got married. now we're so into it, we almost argue about who gets to water the plants. i wish i had a digital camera so i could take a picture of our hobbit hole (aka our backyard) and show you all of our plants. its really quite pretty.
well, thats all the exciting news from down here (i told you nothing exciting has happened.) stay tuned, though. you never know what may be around the next corner...

my friend leah (the married one)
last night was the last time our 40 days of purpose home group met, and we had a potluck to celebrate. the week before, when we were discussing what everyone would bring, i said, "i'll do a casserole and maybe a plate of squares." everyone looked at me like i had just spoken in latin. one of the ladies asked, "what's squares?" i had completely forgotten about this canadian-ism! when josh and i had been married for a couple of months, i don't remember how, but somehow i talked about making squares, and he just kind of stared at me, and said, "what?" at the time, i thought that his lack of knowledge on what squares were had to do with him being a male and not the sort to be found busy in the kitchen. he, however, vehemently told me that he had never heard of anything like that before. so i quizzed him. "what do you call rice krispie squares?" apparently, they're called rice krispie treats down here. brownies and nanaimo bars are considered desserts. eager to prove him wrong, i got out every single cookbook i owned (all 4 of them) and looked in the indexes. sure enough, he was right. the only cookbook that had a section on "cookies and squares" was published in canada. yet another handy word that i'll have to dispose of *sigh*.
i was very much looking forward to meeting up with my friend leah at sea world last week. unfortunately, her grandma fell while at disneyland and shattered her knee. i felt so bad when i heard about what happened, on top of being rained upon for most of their week. i was terribly bummed to have leah so close, yet not able to see her, but am mostly bummed for her grandma. so please, say a little prayer for leah's grandma, who is having surgery and is in terrible pain.
leah and i met in grade 8, while both attending a little christian school (the kind of school where we wore kilts that we hiked up as high as we could and knee-high navy blue socks). she looked like the kind of girl you didn't want to mess with. she looked tough. but under that tough exterior, i soon found a tender heart with a wicked sense of humor. i guess we first became friends after i was invited to her 14th birthday party. she was going through her "i love bob" stage, and i can remember carefully applying lipstick along with the other girls, and then kissing her mirror, to make our marks. all of my highschool years are kind of blurred in my mind, but memories that stick out are staying up late playing cribbage in our tent, getting stranded on an island after her dad's boat ran out of gas, hitting every single photo booth in every single mall in the lower mainland, listening to live, counting crows, lisa loeb and soul asylum, line dancing in prince george and comforting one another through all the crushes and subsequent heart breaks we went through. in grade 10 i went to a different school, and leah followed me there for our grade 12 year. we felt a little like outcasts (people kept referring to leah as "the new girl" after she'd been there for an entire year) and later, when "romy & michelle's high school reunion" came out, we figured out that we were romy and michelle. except not as blonde. leah got married only 6 months after graduation, and started a family. i was sure that we would drift apart after that, but, 7 years after her wedding, she was a bridesmaid for me, just as i was for her. its amazing how our lives were so different from one another's for so long, and yet we are still friends. history like that is irreplaceable. love you, leek!
