Lately I guess I have been feeling a little out of sorts. The new job isn't all that I thought it would be. yes I know that there is a bit of a learning curve. It is more than that though. But I feel like I should stay with it and I suppose that I should feel confident that is the right thing to do. It is hard though. Especially when that isn't my favorite thing to do.
I discovered this song on a friend's blog (thanks Nassari for posting!) a couple of weeks ago, but I think I fell in love with it today.
Sometimes I feel like this song. Full of hope and newness. I love that feeling. And I love that they are running in the video.
Today was very uplifting at church. I feel like I have some doable goals that I need to be working on. I wish that work didn't take up so much of my time though. I need some down time, and I need some me time. Soon.

First week
So this first week has been very tiring! I was going to visit my friend Jenn in Houston for her birthday but things have been so busy this week and I haven't even finished unpacking that I ended up not going. :(
But I was able to take a much needed nap on Saturday afternoon (almost all of the afternoon). And I unpacked almost everything. There are still a few things. We'll see if I can get anything done this week. Already things are going to be busy tomorrow with work and I have a new client that I need to work into my schedule.
Things are just too busy. I haven't even really had time to do a lot of thinking and writing. Maybe another time.

Moving in
I moved in! I am not completely unpacked though, but it will have to wait because I start work tomorrow. So far I really like it. I like my roommates, I like the people I have met in the ward. I have a lot of things going through my head right now. It is a little difficult to sort them all out for the blog. I am looking forward to good things here. I really hope that good things will happen. Sometimes I find it hard to picture good things in my future... but it seems really nice here. And right now I think that is important to me.
Sometimes I feel like I still have a lot of growing to do and that I need difficult times in order to accomplish that. But I guess I don't really. Things can be good and I can still grow and learn. I can learn from these new people and develop meaningful relationships with them. And above all, I can be happy.
Today in church someone made a comment about how whenever she talks to here dad about things that aren't going well or aren't going according to plan, he always asks her, "Are you being obedient? Are you trying to be good and do what the Lord asks?" He tells her that if the answer is yes, then she doesn't need to worry. Everything will work out no matter how hard or impossible it seems at the time.

Yanaguana
New place, new blog.
I've embarked on a new journey in San Antonio, Texas. It took me some time to decide what the new blog should be titled and how the blog should look. In a way moving is a way to start over for me in a few areas. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm also looking forward to blogging more often. I just bought a new computer with an awesome hard drive, more RAM than I know what to do with, and some new photo/video editing software. Two of my soon-to-be new roommates are IT people for USAA. Hopefully if I have any blogging questions they can help out. There are still a lot of things that I don't know how to do. I see some blogs and think "oh I like that. I want to do that on mine". But generally I don't know how to go about doing it.
Yanaguana. Names are a big deal for me. Sometimes I don't know how I'll ever name my children because there is so much meaning behind a name. At least there should be. Yanaguana is the first recorded name for this place that is now called San Antonio. You can read about it (it's a short read) here.
The natives found in what is now San Antonio called the river Yanaguana.
You can see the deep (no pun intended) meaning in such a name for the blog. Into the Yanaguana. I'm plunging into a new place, a new journey, a new life. We'll see what happens.
