Ah the beautiful madness...

Yes, the All-Californian dream... a perfect In'N'Out burger! Apparently the word has gotten out that we serve great food because last week alone we sold over 27,000 burgers at my store alone! I realize that may not mean that much to you, but maybe if I say that last week alone my store sold over 5,300 more burgers than we had anticipated for it would make a little more sense?!? That all to say, my life has been quite the beautiful disaster! I feel like I have somewhat disappeared off the face of the planet to those who are not currently living with me or working with me. I hope that maybe you can understand why! I have been spending a good nine to ten hours a day at work (5 days a week)... between flippin burgers, running out to our warehouse pickin up more product, and trying to manage our store through the craziness.... it has pretty much wiped me out! Not to mention that I started back at school this week! I am taking a two classes (spanish and music appreciation) in the short winter intercession. It's a total of eight semester units all crammed into six weeks. So if work is not enough to take on right now I just loaded my plate with a second helping! I say its a beautiful thing though because I finally feel like I am heading down the right road. Although, I do love my job very much and this company has been INCREDIBLE to me... I know its not going to be future forever. I am anxious to finally move forward with my degree and one day get a new job. It's going to be a process I realize but I am happy to be on it! And just in case all that is still not enough to drive a girl crazy... I am still in the "detox" phase of a brand new lifestyle! Living here with the Russells is quite an amazing thing for me. I must say it's a bit calmer life than I am used to but it's so good. Pretty much everything I was doing a month ago is now the complete opposite! I am just excited but still nervous on where this road is going to take me. It's weird and so foreign to me to give up complete control of my life... to have faith in my creator who I cannot see or touch, and to trust that He has a far better plan for me than I could dream of! And on top of all of that... entering into a brand new relationship with Jeremy (the boyfriend) is just icing on the cake! I must say this is by far the strangest relationship I have ever engaged in. Ha haha... and I only mean strange in the best way. He picks me up and takes me on dates and then brings me home. He is geniunely interested in who I am as a person now and how I got this way. He is incredibly patient with me and my crazy head and is choosing to walk with me in this new chapter of life... and he just likes to spend time with me and make me laugh. Incredible is a good way to describe him. The whole thing though just makes me a little nervous... :-) It's unreal to me, but I am just taking it day by day... trying not to think any minute ahead of where we are at.

Ah yes, this is my life... madness... craziness... insanity and yet so incredibly beautiful!
