Good Bye November...

The last time I posted, I was complaining that October had gone by too quickly. It's been a couple crazy weeks of worrying and stressing myself out and not getting on the internet via an actual computer. November is nearly over and I have approximately 10 days left of living in the State of Utah. I'm still a little stressed out about the money stuff and the packing thing, but I think I'll be okay if I just get the packing done and not think about the money stuff.

Anyway, my last day at work was a little bittersweet. I wasn't expecting to miss my Harrisville peeps so much, but it's starting to weigh on me a little bit. There are a few select people that I will miss but on the whole, I got the email addresses and looked up the people I wanted to keep in contact with on Facebook. It's a little weird that I didn't have to wake up today and go to work. My internal clock went off early but when I realized that I didn't have to get dressed or brush my hair if I didn't want to, I went straight back to bed.

As for Thanksgiving, my younger brother and his wife and my sister came up from Salt Lake for dinner. We had sushi, tempura and a few traditional things as well. We were all definitely stuffed by the end of the night. My oldest brother and his family stopped by before heading home to Rexburg. All in all, it was a good night.

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to post again while I'm still in Utah. Hopefully once I get up to Oregon, I'll know more of what I'm doing with myself.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

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...

Things I Don't Talk About Much

"I have learned that we feel like a failure when we make mistakes even when we profess a belief that the purpose of this existence is to make and learn from them." Growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have had this belief that - as the quote says - we are here experiencing mortality to make mistakes and to learn from them so we can, eventually, become exalted beings and live with our Heavenly Father. In it's simplest form, that is why we're here. We have steps that we have to perform to attain such exaltation; faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, enduring to the end, temple ordinances...you get the point. The first three things I mentioned are always ongoing. We're baptized with water and every week with the sacrament, we renew those covenants. It's a time for reflection of what we've done during the week. What went wrong, what went right, what we need to work on.  Anyhow, growing up in the church, I fe...
