ohhhhh boy! where to start, where to start. life is full of learning! it is amazing the things god has been teaching me these past months. I'm in a time right now when god is teaching me patience like no other. its hard, but sooo soo good! there is so much out there that i want to do, and i want to do it all now!!! i have many options for things to do this summer, and after this summer and i want so badly to do everything and be everywhere at once, and i think because of that, god is teaching me to be content wherever i am at, and i am not content where i am at right now, so i think god will keep me here until i am. but i guess i should make the best of this time here! as most of you know, i am working at world market or cost plus, whichever you prefer, and i just last week got hired at....wait for it, wait for it.....STARBUCKS. im sure many of you will be so proud. all i need to do is renew my food handlers permit, which i will do thursday, then i will start training. i am really kind of scared to work two jobs, i dont know how the scheduling will work out. the reason for getting another job is because soo much drama with my car. i had to get a new engine which sure put me in a hole. so i am really praying for gods hand in the money issues and the scheduling thing.  anyway, enough complaining. wow i just read my previous post, and it was a LONG time ago! september! so much has happened it seems. i still live at the underhills, but ellen and i are not looking for apartments because ellen is going to europe this summer for a month or so. I never ended up going to calgary and seeing matt, alex and rosy,  i really wanted to though. and kristen and her sister and friend came over in october and we had a good time! anyway, i dont have much else to say...thats all folks. i love and miss you all dearly!  -sara

okay here i go again...im not doing this enough to know if i am doing it right...but anyway. hello! it is Wednesday July 27th, and i had my first day of work!! yeah, i got my first real job. i work at Cost Plus World Market. it is a super duper cute store that has stuff from all over the world. including indonesia, thailand, and sri lanka! and europe of course...and it looks like it will be a really fun place to work at. i feel really good about it so i think that God wants me to have this one! anyway, things are going really well at the Underhills. I have been pretty bored since i dont have any of my own friends yet and ellen and her sisters all work during the day, so i pretty much dont ever have anything to do. but it is still fun! and it gives me tons and tons, and more tons, of time to be with god! it has been sooo good for me! and i have actually been faithful to my "quiet times" doing them everyday. and ellen and i have prayed together a few times which is sooo cool, since at home i wouldnt ever really have anyone to pray with. and we hung out with jayoung a few weeks ago after church, then we went to church together and stuff. it was so nice to talk to them and be able to relate the same stories and stuff! they are really good friends they are! anyway, so once again, im bored out of my mind, no one is home and i dont really know what to do with myself. soooo i hope all of you are doing swell! and i love you all!!
