Life so far...

Well, I think it's time for an update on the new life of mine. First of all. I love it. As terrified of all the unknown I was... I have come to absolutely love my "new" life. My roommates are so great! None of them are from Utah, so that has been cool. They are from Chicago, Virginia, Texas, and Michigan. They are super social, so there is never a dull moment. Always something to do. The ward is great! So inviting and so much to learn. There are activities almost daily. From Ward prayer, FHE, break the fast, institute, hot chocolate Wednesday, and so on. The job is going amazing as well! I love the environment and everyone I work with. I even got a "promotion" today! Okay...so they moved me up to waitress...not super exciting...but I will be making more money, and that is important to a poor college student. I now understand why they call us poor college students... For example...Miller... I live in Miller apartments. Super old apartments. Super old, falling apart apartments... There is something wrong almost every week, but it makes life exciting. The snow is something to get used to, as well as the cold weather, but even though it isn't growing on me, I know I can make it until it warms up. Anyway, it's time for bed, just wanted to give a quick update on life. More to come!

Moved in...

Well, a week an a day ago I moved. I moved from my beautiful, loving, happy home in Ivins, Utah to a completely different home. It was scary, terrifying, and absolutely the most awful thing I've ever done. But... the last week has also been the best. Friday, I was scared out of my mind. Not knowing what to expect or what would happen in the weeks to come. But, I survived. After spending a night at my Aunt Bethany's and then three with my aunt Amanda I have come to be grateful for those who have always supported me. In ways I never realized. I have people here who gave me no choice but to stay with them until my roommate came back from Christmas break. Even though that doesn't sound helpful, it was, because I was terrified to be alone. To this moment, even though there are four other girls here, I feel alone. They know each other and they have been living together since August or longer. I'm the new girl and I'm scared. So it's nice to know that I have family who want me around until I find my place and even after I find my place. My new job is amazing! I absolutely love it! It's the same job, but completely different. I get to interact with customers in a way I've never been able to do before, and it's something I absolutely love. The people I work with are great, helpful, and want me to succeed. And even though I'm not working in St. George anymore, Dave is still calling to make sure everything is working out at this new location. I couldn't be more grateful for my family. My parents. When they moved me up last week, they didn't leave without making sure I had everything I possibly needed. From groceries, to a router for my internet, to new windshield wipers. I am so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life. I couldn't imagine life without them. This last week has been crazy. I've talked to my mom at least twice a day since I've left (if not more) and I"m so glad I'm so close with her. I miss Bruce like crazy, but that's a story for another day. I hope adventures are to come. I'm ready for something new. Classes start on Monday. I guess that's a good beginning.
