My roommates and I went to the beach this last week to recharge our batteries. After so many rainy/foggy days, it felt amazing to be able to spend the day in the sun. We literally spent the whole day just walking around. Most everything was closed for the season, but it was fun spending time outside for once. I can only imagine how crowded this place is during the summer. It's the closest beach town to where we live so, we'll probably have to head south - or north - to Astoria, Rockaway or Tillamook. I'm excited either way. In other news, I finally got a call back for a job interview. In fact, they had me do a first AND second interview while I was there. I'm hoping that I'll hear back from them this next week. I mean, why keep me there for two hours if they weren't going to hire me, right? I don't know...I'm just hoping to hear back from them. It'll be nice to have an income again and not get so sick over how I'm going to pay my rent...

Things I'm resolving to do better in 2012: 1. Actual journal writing. I broke out my paper journal when I moved to Oregon to remind myself that I needed to document the move and neglected to even open it till last night. I wrote until my brain was thoroughly swished around in my head. I still need to write more about what is going on in my life. There is so much that has happened in the past couple days. Big, huge, gigantic life changing decisions need to be made and I'm scared. These type of things I've neglected to write in my journal the past year. 365 days of life has gone by and I haven't written any of it done. 2. Read my Patriarchal Blessing more often. I really am a dummy when it comes to spiritual things. In all the stressful things that have been happening in the past year, I've practically had to smack myself for not reading this sacred piece of personal scripture more often. 3. Scripture study. My friend Claudia started this little challenge on...
So, this year was the Year of Expr ession. I did a lot of knitting and made up some recipes (artistic expression). I didn't write as much as I wanted to, but I did my fair share. I'm perpetually working on my book - isn't everyo ne though? - and getting no where near close to having a concrete outline. There's still a lot of ideas floating around in my head that are needing to be written down somewhere. I'm a feign for lists. Ask anyone. I'll re-write them over and over again to get them perfect and then I quickly fold the list up and put in my pocket or in my bag. Then it inevitably gets tattered and worn and unreadable. Anyway, I feel like I haven't expressed myself, heart and soul, in the ways that I wanted to. I have no problem expressing myself by way of word. I may be quiet in real life, but I do have something to say. My artistic expression could use some work. I really wanted to get into photography this year but the lack of funds and motivation just...
