20 things about me

1.) I actually don't mind going to the dentist.
2.) I never wanted to live in Utah for more than a year...Hello year 5!
3.) I am jealous of my sister but we haven't been as close as we are now. I love her and can't picture my life without her.
4.) I hate Utah drivers. On the freeway, people in the middle lane are always trying to get off. People in the fast lane are going slow and people in the slow lane are going at break neck speeds because of the idiots in the other 2 lanes. Psh...they're all idiots.
5.) I love buying new shoes but I hate the actual act of shopping. Something about hordes of idiot shoppers and clueless employees turns me off to the whole idea of "retail therapy". Go figure...
6.) I hated the years proceeding my mothers death. People thought they had to walk on egg shells around me, my family situation was hell, and I didn't want to deal with any of it. So more often than not, I ran away from it all and found myself either in L.A. or on Long Island, NY. Now that I've dealt with it, I'm in Utah of all places.
7.) I hate being the center of attention but hate it even more when people forget about me.
8.) I like the idea of living in a small town but hate the thought of people knowing everything about you. I like my privacy and I must have the option of showing my true colors on my own time without people constantly watching you.
9.) I don't know if I could ever handle being pregnant and bringing home a brand new baby. It scares me.
10.) I love the fall and wish it was cool/cold enough year round so I could wear sweaters and thick wool socks. I want to spend my fall season in New England and every other season in the Pacific Northwest.
11.) I'm a realistic hopeless romantic.
12.) I feel socially awkward more often than not even though I come from a hugely social family. I come off far cooler than I actually feel most of the time.
13.) I don't want to work for the rest of life but I know that if I don't have something to do, I'll get bored.
14.) I really want to get paid to travel and take cool photos of places I've visited. Some day...
15.) I want to be and do a great many things and often feel that time is running out to accomplish them all.
16.) It makes me smile inside when I get a real smile from Bryan.
17.) I like Bryan...crazy I know. I went from liking his older brother last summer to liking him this year.
18.) I think that the people whom you love most can hurt you worse but also be your saving grace more often than they hurt you.
19.) I hate wearing shoes. As much as I love wearing woolly socks during the fall and winter, I absolutely hate wearing shoes. Give me sandals any day!
20.) As much as I like working with people, they irritate the crap out of me more often than not.

Late...As Usual

So, turns out that I'm not so great at posting on here as I once was. I was even late to post my once yearly Dear Mom post. I really have no excuses other than I've been out of school for almost 3 weeks now since I started going full-time in January. I'm pretty sure the last time I posted anything was in October of last year. Anyway, let's play catch up! I started school full-time in January at BYU-Idaho's online program. I completed 28 credits this year. I'm ready for a break. The accreditation for the public health degree program changed but the changes only apply for the on-campus students and not the online students - aka me. So I'm going to have to transfer schools...again. I've been looking at grad programs in Portland, Oregon. Portland calls my name at least once a year, and I always research reasons to move back. The first time I moved there I was under prepared. I moved with the wrong person. When I move back, I'll be done with school...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

New Things

So, I haven't made a public announcement, but I got a job T H R E E weeks ago. I've been gainfully employed for just over 3 weeks ago. I love working. I love having a job. I love being able to buy the stupid things like toothpaste and shampoo, because really? Since I can buy the stupid silly things that people need to function, means that I can start saving, pay tithing, go grocery shopping. Also, since I work for a certain Church funded company, I also get to go to school. For free. Then, after I'm done doing the program that I've been interested in, since forever, I get to go to Weber and finish my bachelor's degree the debt free way. Awesome, right? It is. It's also a lot of work because since the Church is all about self-reliance and what not, I have to do the work all myself which means that I have to find the motivation to go to 2 night classes a week to get to the point where I can finish my bachelor's without going into more debt. But you know what? ...
