End of 6 months

My name is Shaunty Mia Garcia and i am thankful for my life.
In 3 days i will be leaving Monterey and returning to my "home" in Sacramento. Like when the heck did time start going so fast?! Although i am stoked to be with close to my friends and family again i have become accustom to my life here. I must say i have been given sooo many blessing from the lord. I have grown close to amazing people in the POM ward and to the staff and residents at Carmel Terrace. I'm also have grown close to Karen (the lady i live with) she has been a wonderful example to me and has given me so much advice on life. I am defiantly going to miss her. I'm sad just thinking about it =( But i can always visit whenever i get tired of my mom haha
Anyways i loved my time here. I will look back at my time here and always smile. Like how i was lucky enough to live five mins away from the beach. The time me and Karen jumped in the pool with all our clothes on. The time we went to the aquarium and only got to stay for ten minutes. The nights we stayed up watching movie after movie. the time were my date found out i was 17 and freaked out. The night we mad a fire pit at the beach and cooked chili over the fire. oh these memories i love!!! I LOVE MONTEREY<3

Theres no place like home.... For the Holidays

This is my handsom brother that i look most alike. when he came home he had long hair (11 inches to be exact)


He donated it to locks of love. Fallowing in the footsteps of me ;)

I was able to go home for thanksgiving break. A whoping 11 days.
I had a great visit! I loved seeing all my family and friends. This trip was the high light of my year. I hope life back home is as good as the visit. (knock on wood)

Dear you,

Life is life. There is and will always be ups and downs. My goal lately is try and focus on all the positive things in my life. Ive realized how much im greatful for my parents and my brothers, for the gospel and the friends in my life. Unfortunatly not everyone is making this there goal. I have a friend who has been going through some things. She has been a target for negativity . She tells me always that im so strong. She hears my trails and doesnt understand why im still so happy and jolly. Well this is my answer.

Dear you
There will always be trials in your life. It is something we must over come. This may seem hard; seeing some of your trails seem impossible to over come but you can with the help of our heavenly father. He is the first one i confront my problems with. If im sad, lonely or even worried i get on my hands and knees and pray. He listens and he answers my prays with a feeling of comfort and peace. You are so blessed, and at times i know its hard to see it. If you acknowledge your blessings and turn to the lord i promise you will be happy and jolly just as i.
Put your trust in the lord i promise he wont let you down

One word... AMAZING!!!

November 5th 2011 I will NEVER forget this day!
SO bascically i went to the best concert ever! There is this guy his name is Dallas Green i have been really into him music. Its so mellow and meaningful i love it.
My friend Andie in the middle of the picture above loves them too and told me he and his band (city and colour) were playing in San Fran at the FIlmore. So we were so stoked to go Daniel another friend of mine went along with us even though hes never heard of the band. We dirve 2 1/2 miles north to San Fran park the car and walk to the ticket booth with a SOLD OUT sign.
Lets just say this was the a super sad moment. So after mopping for a while a man offered to sells us a ticket. I dont know why we bought it since it was only one ticket but we did. Luckly at the end of the night we got two more tickets!! How? I dont even know! It just all worked out!



So anyways this show was amazing like do you ever listen to music and just get lost in it. Like time stops well his whole show i was just mezmorized. I was so in to his show i barely took any pictures. Sigh.. I still cant get over this show! it was just soooo inspiring. I love the emotion in his music.

Even though its not the same as live I am off to sleep the night away listening to City and Colour. Dallas Green take me away into my dreams.

Breaks are nice

So after filling out my application form for Folsom lake college i realize i cant go.
Spring semester at FLC is from January to May.... Well i start BYUI in April so there goes that plan of not taking a semester off. Well maybe this is a good thing. Now i can get a full time job and save up more then expected for BYUI. This is sounding very appealing, hopefully i can find a job asap. Unfortunatly its gonna have to be put o hold till i officiallly move back home cause i dont think they'll hire someone from out of the city.

Sunday Sunday Sunday!!!

I have to say, I love sundays. I love going to church and I love relaxing the rest of the day. I get to have talks with my momma and skype chats with my brothers. These two things make the best days of the week.

Hehehe... Oh Life!

Finally after my home sickness has faded, and i stopped being so hard hearted about work... I am fully enjoying my life. I love it here and i feel blessed to have such an amazing oppertunity. I have been able to meet the most wonderful people and have amazing spiritual experiences. Being here 5 1/2 months i have met Dallin H Oaks, heard Julie Beck speak and tonight, i will have heard another spiritual talk by Richard G Scott. Amazing things keep flowing my way and I LOVE IT! I love that my life is so great right now.
