My Second Favorite State

Over the past couple years I have been able to spend a lot of time in California. It has become my second favorite state. I have even learned to drive the freeways. California really feels like my home away from home. I feel comfortable there. If it wasn't so expensive to live there and I wasn't such a scaredy cat about being away from my family I would probably move to California.
Just this summer I have been to California twice. Both times I attended an LDS Singles Conference. In May I went to the Huntington Beach Conference and this past weekend I attended the OCBC (Orange County Beach Cities) Conference.

It has been fun to attend these Singles Conferences. I have met a few new people. I have learned that I still suffer from social anxiety but it is not as bad as it used to be. I have tried to be brave and step out of my comfort zone. I actually went up and introduced myself to a few people at the second conference. I was proud of myself for being brave. I am having fun being in the social scene again. It helps that my dear friend Amy is Utah's Matchmaker and that I attend most of the social events with her. She has introduced me to several people at these conferences. It has been fun to attend these events with her. Her business partner is Utah's Dating Coach and I get to help them out at some of the events. I have also had a chance to sit back and listen to them at work and learn a few tips. One day I hope it will pay off and I will finally meet my future husband.
