b-day, new house, and the never ending job hunt

October 23, 2008

i had a really nice b-day. a couple girls made me brekkie, then we made crafts with shells, picked poppies in the central park (since they were about to be torn up), and that night for tea (dinner) we had sushi with a homemade carrot cake for dessert. very fun

i moved into a new place with 5 other people (4 guys and a girl) and a puppy... a little crazy, but i have my own room. the suburb i live in is called "the hill," so as you can imagine i get a good work out. hopefully soon i will get a bike b/c i am exhausted from walking around town. i've realized it takes me 3x as long to get somewhere walking as it would running, and i'm sure biking will be even faster than running... almost as fast as a car. except they make you wear helmets here or you get fined. so i have to get a helmet. and there aren't too many bike lanes, so i guess it's good they make you wear the ugly helmets.

so please continue to keep me in your prayers with job stuff and figuring out why i'm here. it has been a good lesson so far... not easy, just a process which i'm trying to learn to enjoy. hope all is well in the home land... tell me stories :)

love,
julie... who is now 27! so mature - ha, ha
and thank you for all the b-day wishes

p.s. let me know if you want my cell or address b/c i didn't want to post it on here
