Nothing too major happened this week. Let’s see…. My mommy booked my plane tickets for Thanksgiving and Christmas! YAYAY!!! I completed my quarterly property inspections for work. I had an interesting time climbing on roofs, learning about electrical systems and photocells. I however did not enjoy the bugs that I met on the way. I had to go into several electrical rooms that hadn’t been opened in a while and it totally grossed me out. LOL I am such a girly girl. I shrieked and squealed as I almost walked into a room filled with cobwebs. My maintenance guy, Brian, who kindly escorted me through the inspection process, really got a kick out of my reaction to bugs, dead squirrels and human waste (GROOOSSSSSS!!!) that we came across. LOL Ahhh the adventures in property management… What else… I attempted last night to make salmon with a garlic dill butter. It came out ok. Not too bad for my first try.
Anyway, I’ll save you from the rest of my mindless drivel of a week…. I am so glad that it’s Friday!!

I realized a few things...
You know you’re a Californian when…
The high for the day is 72 and you think “burrrr I should wear a sweater”
You turn off every light as you leave the room
You turn off the water when you brush your teeth
You see empty bottles as miscellaneous income
When you hear rain in the forecast you plan additional 20 minutes for your commute (silly Californians can’t drive in the rain!).

Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhh
That is the sound of my sigh of relief. My budgets are done! I successfully completed round one of the budgeting process for 6 properties. This is no small feat considering they were all excel workbooks and I had to link 50% of the cells to make the numbers come out right. It was a lot of work and I’m glad I finished. I’m thankful though that my boss appreciates my work. She went on and on yesterday about how happy she was that I was here and that I just did it. It makes her job easier as a senior manager. She just looks at it, makes minor changes and then it’s off to the client.

I’m excited for this weekend! I actually get to relax. For part of it anyway :o) On Saturday we a hosing at “Proud to Wait” seminar for our youth group, iPray. Proud to Wait is a government funded group that offers education for preteens/teenagers about abstinence. I think it is a great tool for our young people and I hope it impacts them positively! Slowly but surely we are Reaching People, Improving Families, and Impacting the Community.

Fall is in the air!
I love the fall! It's by far my favorite time of year. It's a little different here in California. The leaves don't change quite as much as in Colorado and it doesn't cool down as much, but I love it still the same.
Jeni’s top 10 list of signs Fall is on it’s way
10. The return of The Office!! (Office fans across the universe rejoice!)
9. The morning chill is back in the air
8. My unnatural draw to sweaters even though it’s 80 degrees outside
7. The Christmas Shopping has begun!
6. My search for the perfect pair of boots will commence upon the receipt of my next pay check
5. It’s darker in the mornings
4. It’s also getting dark earlier in the evenings
3. Halloween costumes/candy are everywhere!
2. The trees are starting to change

God is good!
We were blessed to have another baptism service at Sacramento's House of Praise this weekend. God is doing great things in Northern California!
