Well, as most of you guys know, me and my family had just moved out of the San Francisco Bay Area, California and moved in St. George, Utah. We've been here for almost 4 weeks, 4 weeks this upcoming Saturday 9/19. Being here for the last 29 days, I've experienced so many big changes and gone through hard challenges and obstacles. St. George is very very very different from where I am used to growing up seeing. Meeting new people, going to a new ward/stake, completely opposite and different area, let alone a different state, new school, new everything. It's a difficult journey I'm going through right now, and I'm still not enjoying it, don't be surprised. Lol, Anyways..well now, I am a Senior at Desert Hills High School, Home of the Thunder (Thor) yea, pretty sad, and this year is their
2nd year open so they have a lot of catching up to do. My brother and sisters, we all take the bus before and after school, don't be surprised..lol! I'm surrounded with Mormons galore, don't be surprised of that too, we in Utah here duhh! Just clownin', a good thing is that we all have a lot in common. I'm just trying to take things slow here, finish and graduate high school, then I can move back home! Haha, but everyone here is friendly, everyone here is new to St. George so we know how it feels to move somewhere completely different, it's a beautiful, weird lookin' town. Yea, that's about it. I'm just waiting on a plane ticket to come back home. I miss home so much, I miss driving through 101 (freeway), I miss going to Tanforan Mall, the Century Movie theatres,
Sneathe Lane Chapel, my ward, my friends and my family, I miss my old home even though it was kinda wack & my room, I miss walking to Walgreens, I miss going to the Library (they don't even let you go on Myspace or Facebook in there!), I miss my old school & teachers, counseling office-still a Panther! Never would I be claimin' to be a Thunder (wth?!?!), I miss San Bruno, the Rollingwood House, I miss my hometown South City..where great things are Made, yupp yupp GUPPY! (insider), I miss El Camino Real, I miss seeing SamTrans Buses everywhere, I miss going to the Millbrae Pancake House, I miss my cat Simba (Lol!), I miss seeing Poly's..period! I miss the great weather (all I have is long sleeves a
nd sweatshirts and it's freakin' hot here!), I miss everything! I MISS HOME. But for now and the next 8 months I will suck it up and deal with it I guess, but I'm not trippin' because I got someone to get me thru everyday and because I'll be back home right when graduation is done! Hehe, well..that's about it, my family and I are doing good, I guess, my dad comes every weekend, and Carolina's (my youngest sister) Baptism is on the 26th of this month and a lot of our families are coming to visit, hope you guys can make it! It'll be fun and we would like to see family, we haven't seen one brown person yet! Soooo, yes, please come to St. George. If you need more info. e-mail me at burlingame280@yahoo.com, I would have put my new cell number but nahhh. Thanks family and friends for all your support you do for me and my family. We love and miss you all, come by St. George anytime and visit us! Take Care.With Love,
Monalisa
