being present & thankful

a lot has happened since i last posted, but it seems at the moment i can't recall what is really new. all i can think about is daniel and i's last thought before we went to bed last night, which was: "we really need to take a step back and soak in the fact that we are living an amazing journey and truly taking risks in our lives and doing ok in all". basically, daniel made the point that amidst our everyday life tasks, we don't take a moment enough to think, "wow, we live in san diego, ca!" i have always wanted to be a cali girl, and daniel moved here from australia/london! we have been blessed with a wonderful support system, our faith has become stronger than ever, we have amazing family who support us, we have jobs, and we have fun!!!! (and of course love each other dearly still, hehe). side note- can you believe it, august 6th is our 5 years of knowing one another and august 30th is our 2 years wedding anniversary! wowsers! anyways, in short, we are appreciative of where we are compared to where we've come from.

anyways, i'm way too sentimental. so... for those who do not know (sorry if i've been bad at updating), i accepted and am excited about my new role/job! i'm preparing myself for the upcoming challenges and changes, so hopefully when they happen it won't be too hard. i have to wait until my background/drug screening passes, then i begin. i'm thinking next mid-week. since last week was my last week of camp, i have had the lovely opportunity this week to catch up with tasks/ people. it's been great and i'm thankful for dp that i have this chance!

dp and i are doing lovely. we've been able to have some more date time. last weekend we got some wine and went up to Mt. Soledad (which also serves as a lookout point) and had some wine and good convo. We also visited a nearby farmer's market, which i discovered that daniel dislikes for some reason (i LOVE them). this sat we are going to try to go to seaworld!! i've just been, but it'll be daniel's first time. i'm excited!

that's it our loved ones. we encourage you to be "present" more in your lives as we continue to try as well.
