What the...

Where did October go? I coulda sworn it just started and now I'm down to 19 days left at work and 33 days left before I move. I also could have worked a little bit longer instead of having a whole week to just stress myself out...needlessly. But those seven days will be wonderful
to have to spend with my family and friends and just tie up the loose strings.

I've been a nervous ball of stress trying to get apartment paperwork done and transfer stuff done and resume/cover letter/reference pages done and this done and that done and...

...ugh...

the list could go on forever!

If the paperwork could just magically do itself, I'd be okay because then I could get down
to business and clean out my closet. Throw away stuff/paperwork/knickknacks I don't
want/need. In the 7 1/2 months I've worked at the DI, I've accumulated stuff I didn't
even need. At least I'll be getting more of a charitable donation write off for my taxes.

Mostly, I think I just make myself stressed out. Even when I have a week before I actually move to do what I need to do, I just make up this stressful situation in my head and have to get all done before then. It's really unreasonable. I'm sure I'll get the stuff done; I really just want it all to be done now without having to think about it.

The money thing I've gotten over. The transfer is being handled by someone else, so I really don't have to worry about not having a job when I move. Thank goodness. That was one of the bigger stresses about this whole moving thing. Aside from finding a place to live while not actually living in that state. But it happened. I am slightly worried about paying for gas for our drive up there, but with the way gas prices have been going, things should be okay.

I'm grateful that I didn't have to do it on my own. I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't have happened so quickly if I was doing this on my own. Yay for support!

Anyway, take a little gander at my new home.





We have a balcony/patio. I'm excited! Everything is coming to fruition and I'm just gobsmacked every time I think that it's actually really happening. Beaverton will provide the adventure AND change that I've been needing for quite a while.

I love some aspects of Utah. I mean, it has been home for almost eight and half years. And I've made a lot of friends along the way. I'll DEFINITELY miss my nieces and my nephew and the rest of my family.

*thank goodness for modern communication.*

The only situation I'm really worried about after I leave is my dad and little brother. I don't want to have to come back to a hot mess again. I guess if that's if I decide to move back. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Anyway, life is moving on. I'm excited. I'm ready for change. I'm ready to move on and do something with myself. Also, I've also decided that I want to be a teacher on a military base and work for the Department of Defense. Free travel. Awesome benefits. Don't have to pay my student loans back. New experiences. Ha, I just hope that I'll be sent to a peaceful country.


Hooray for change!

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...

Mama

Dear Mom, You've been gone 12 years now and I miss you just as much as I did when you left this earth to live with our Heavenly Father. Life has been hard since you've been gone, but I'm sure you know. Yesterday, on your anniversary, I went to lunch with Felisa and visited Stephen and his wife, Shauna in Salt Lake. Who would have thought that almost all us adult siblings would live within an hour's drive of each other? In Utah, no less. We didn't really talk about you, but I'm sure that we were all thinking of you. My heart ached for you a little bit more. I thought of you on Sunday, since it was the day of the week that you passed away. During the Sacrament, I thought of you and everything you taught me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about facing your fears, about forgiveness. When it came to the bearing of testimonies, I was already crying. Half due to allergies and half due to thinking of you and missing you. I was always the sensitive one. Dad's ex-wife ...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
