I'm back- this one might be long. my bad.

so i've been away for the past few months. 1st it was b/c my life got so stagnate. NOTHING exciting. It was the daily routine of coffee beans and driving around, but since dec life has been so crazy, i haven't had time. But a lot of fun has been happening, so i want to share...

In a nut shell, here's my Dec and Jan...

Dec: I got offer a PAID position with Good Morning America, nothing permanent, but a step in the right direction!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!

My little bro (Andrew) and the girls (Mal, Anna, and Suz) all came to visit me. IT was wonderful to get to go explore. We went to of course Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu Pasadena, and Beverly Hills. We also went to La Jolla to see the seals, San Diego, and the Mexican border where we saw
<----------- this.

It was wonderful to have my favorites around. I miss everyone I love more than anything, so it was wonderful to experience things with them out here.

I went home for Christmas for 1 week. It was awesome. I got to see my family! And Sunny! and of course all the girls, KFO, even Ash and Alex drove to Snellville to see me. It was perfect. The best part was the Harrison children Christmas photo. Ooo and how could I forget a night w/ Kfo, Lo, Jason and my bros  involving Rick Flairs (if you don't know what that is...your missing out!) ATL was great, but coming back was good- new year, new start.


I started GMA on the 28th of Dec and have been going ever since. I brought in the 2010 in a wonderful way...alone in a movie theater...Jeff, my bro, told me he was gonna send me a blow up doll so i appeared to have friends. AWESOME. BUt since then, life has been amazing!

In January, LOTS HAPPENED!!! I moved out of the HOOD!!!! I'm now living in Burbank, it's an awesome area- i can walk to EVERYTHING! it's safe. No more bullet hole. I can cook and eat in my place. I'm relaxed. I have 3 movie theaters, a Forever 21, and URban Outfitters down the street. it's great! My roommate is amazing!

I also found a church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is such a blessing. it's called Reality LA and it's similar but different than any church at home. It's real...and they study the Bible, which is not the norm out here evidently. I've started going to a bible study to meet people, but of course it's one w/ 1 other single girl and all young married couples- awesome, yes I know i'm single thanks. But everyone is great. I feel finally at home. God has been amazing. He's teaching me so much and growing so much closer to Him. The struggles the past few months have been such a blessing. I've really learned to depend fully on Him. I'm realizing that these struggles make me appreciate things so much more.

So January at GMA has been incredible. 1st all the producers are wonderful! They are so willing to let me do things and really get in the mix. ABC News is downstairs and everyone there is great too. It's such a cool opportunity.

I attended the Golden Globes, saw every actor I can imagine. ALL DISAPPOINTING b/c they are all like 5 foot and rail thin. Definitely NOT gonna date an actor. On a cool note, Kate Winslet stopped me to let me I was pretty. I was embarrassed. ha.

I've also been on shoots with Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer. A really cool shoot with GMA weekend anchor Bill Weir and Actor Jeff Bridges-what a cool guy! I got the opportunity to interview directors: James CAmeron, Kathryn Bigelow, Quentin Tarentino, Jason Reitman, and Lee Daniels. AMAZING!! And I've been on several shoots with the amazingly beautiful correspondent All My Children's Cameron Matheson- SO MUCH FUN! and Melissa Rycroft, from the Bachelor- she is beautiful and so sweet. It's been really cool.

I've been working long hours and babysitting on the weekends, so no real social life. But i have been hanging out w/ some UGA peeps!!! so life is good! I have NO complaints. It's been tough, i'm learning a lot. I'm learning real quick to get thick skin and NOT let anything get to me.

So I'm back! My LA adventures are beginning again! It's wonderful and I'm ready for this ride. To see where I'm headed. I know what's in store for me is gonna be great and HIS plan.
