Jorge would like to announce that he is moving to Carlsbad CA to bond with his missionary uncle, Elder Kristopher Mortensen.
As many of you know. Jorge has been all over the world since he crossed paths with Ann in 2001. This will be his third mission preceeded by the Nagoya/Kobe Japan Mission and the NYNY South Mission.

Things I want to remember about today...

So, I started this blog way back in November... and I still have NOT posted anything? What is going on? I figured out that it is because I feel too much pressure to write about every little detail of my life. Also, I do not have nearly enough time to document all that I would like. So instead, I am just going to write about things that happened today. Things that I want to remember.

Here we go:

My life motto used to be, "It's all about the people." But lately I have been thinking that I should change it to, "It's all about the individual person." I haven't convinced myself that I like it yet. You might be thinking, "What's the difference?" I spend a lot of my time running around getting to know everyone a little. But maybe I should spend my time, sitting down, and getting to know a lot about a few people. Hum.

I got an email from my die-hard-Patriots-fan missionary brother. He was bitterly disappointed by their loss. In his own words he said, "GRRR. thats so frustrating. iassume not getting exaltation feels alot like losing the superbowl by 3points with so many cahnces to make it, but on alot bigger scale."

Today was my first day at my new job! I am a Front Desk Student Assistant for the National Center on Deafness (NCOD) here at CSUN. Things went great! I think it was the easiest that a first-day-on-the-job has ever gone for me. My co-workers were already fun and friendly. I have a feeling that my real education is going to happen in the work-place more than the classroom. One of my favorite quotes has always been, "Don't let schooling get in the way of your education."

Boys? Why are there so many good ones around that I am just not interested in AT ALL? There has to be sparks in a relationship! My sister,Kirsten, taught me a great lesson when she once commented, "I was frustrated because I wanted to feel it, but I just couldn't. You can't force it."

Is there such a thing as too much gratitude for the Lord? I don't think so, but I think it's important how you express it. I feel His presence in my life. He can make more out of me than I can on my own. That's all I want to say about that. The details are... personal.

The weather was amazing today.

That is what I want to remember about this fine day in February.
