Home

Well, for those of you who don't know, I moved home on April 3rd. (just in time for my 22 birthday on April 5th) I decided to move back about as suddenly as I decided to move to Provo. Turned out, it was not the land of milk and honey. At least not for me anyways... But I'm ok with that. And for those of you who bet I would be engaged in three months... It's time to pay up, you lose. I am also very ok with that. haha it was just time to come home though. There are situations here that I am helping with, that make me know it was meant for me to come home at this time, because if I wasn't here, I would not be able to help near as much as I am now. 
But in the fall I am off for another adventure! Not quite sure what that is, but I figure its about time to finish my business degree and then I have also decided I want a communications degree as well. But who knows, these are subject to change every ten minutes. I am a girl after all.... 
But while in Utah, I learned A LOT about a lot. Who I am, who I want to be, what I want to be, where I want to be, how I want to make people feel, how I want to help people, how I want to make a difference in the world, parenting, car buying, dating, houses, spouses, patience (so not there yet), how I need to put my plans and wishes behind His, because obviously He has better plans that what I could ever dream of...  
And yes, I SUCKED at blogging while I down there. But I will catch you all up on my life. I had a pretty basic routine. I would wake up, go to work, go to the gym, then go home. On the occasional weekend I would have a date, but for the most part I just hung out with my brother (until he moved to Rexburg for school) and my 40 year old uncle. Who is IDENTICAL to my father, so it was like being with my dad. not really that exciting... With going to the gym every day, I was able to get my endurance up to be able to run six miles a day. And for those of you who know me, know I hate running. When I first started I couldn't run one mile without stopping. 
So all in all, I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. But I am so glad that I did it, and I am so grateful for all the people who helped me. Hiring me, getting me a car, introducing me to other people, hanging out with me, taking me on dates, letting me cry on their shoulder even when I just met them... Everyone and everything. I am SO grateful for all of it. 
Until the fall, I will just be working here in Fairbanks at my amazing job at Fireweed Boutique, playing with my niece and nephew (Eva turns three TODAY! and Isaiah turned one on April 7th, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!) and enjoying the Alaskan summer and as much of the outdoors as I possibly can. 
I can't promise I'll be any better at blogging, but hopefully that's because I'll be busy being a better person! Until next time, big gulps!
