You know when you think life can't get any better for you and then it does? That is how I have been feeling a lot lately.

I moved here with a job that I really liked. I really liked the company as a whole, I didn't really get the people I worked with or they didn't get me. It doesn't matter anyways, I found another job that I super like and it is hard work. I seriously feel like I work hard for my money! Being the only girl working the night shift, I feel like I have to prove to the guys that I can work just as hard as them. With the summer, there are more opportunities to be working overtime and the good thing is, we don't get in trouble for doing so.. They guys I work with have my back, they told me so. We are like a family and that is the support I like to have at a job where I spend pretty much most my time.

The highlight so far in my life is that my best friend in school, since the 8th grade, found me about two months ago. I have been searching for Chris for 16 years and found him twice but lost contact with him through the years. In June, Chris found me, of all places, on Facebook.. How, I will never know. I mean there are 13 people on Facebook with my exact name and at the time, I didn't have a picture of me as my profile. But it doesn't matter, he found me and we are happy little campers.

That brings me to this other topic.. So since our friendship has rekindled, it has become more. I guess you could say that we are in a relationship but kind of complicated/long distance. Currently Chris lives in Louisiana and I in Utah. Here in a few weeks, Chris will be moving to Boston. Yep, I live on one coast and he will be living on the other. I am however planning a trip to Boston to see him and his mom. Annie, Chris' mom is one of the greatest ladies I have ever met. I would like to see her again..

So I have been on this I am happy high for awhile now and I really like it.. I wouldn't want that to change for the world..

The time I moved back to Utah, I have had my moments. Like anyone, a new environment can be difficult at first, you have to make new friends, meet new people and/or find a place to fit in at work and church. I have had many moments for sure but recently I have found something wonderful.

What is it, you ask. For me church is wonderful and the new ward I am in is just that! I attend a Samoan family ward and the people are great people.they are caring, kind and excepting of others. I haven't found a family ward I really enjoy as much as this one. I haven't been in ward one month and I have a calling in the Primary! Where in the Primary, I am not sure but will do my best.

I am still struggling with work, only working 20 hours a week. I am in search for another part time job but nit having a set schedule at the current job, it's a little tough. Still looking..

last week in Texas

I have been thinking a lot today while I was driving. I know, it could be dangerous for me to think. But, I have 10 days left here in Texas and I just can stop thinking about what I am doing. When I moved back here, I wasn't on planning on being here forever. I grew up here, I hate the weather and my allergies are horrible. I can't handle it! As an adult, it is even worse. I do miss the cold weather and the beautiful mountains of Utah.

I have the best friends here and I am sad to leave them. But I know, they will do just fine without me. They didn't know me 18 months ago, so I am pretty sure they can keep on trekking in this world without me. I am not saying I won't miss them, I will. It will be hard the first month or so not being able to drive to their home and visit with them or have Disney movie night while playing spoons where someone gets hurt. I will totally miss that. But I have memories and will always remember them.

I will also remember the people that shared my last few weeks together. I have the best friends to come and play with me or have dinner with me. Thank you Tara Anderson, Amy Kotter, Sandy Abel, Justin Woolard, Rebecca Meyer, Carol, Katie Winn, Michelle Pray, AlyKat, Susan Shi and the many others I forgot to mention. I do appreciate the friendships and the fun time we have had together. I love you all so much and will miss your smiling faces.

This journey back to Utah is a little stressful. More than my move back to Texas. This time, I don't have the money to move and it sucks! I am moving in with two girls that are 22 and 26 (whom I have never met) and am worried that things will not be good.. If you know me, my roommate record isn't good. I have found one roommate that I can handle and we have gotten along just wonderfully. I have moved 10 times in one year because of roommates. I am not liking this deal but right now, this is all I have.

I move away from here in 10 days (I know, I am saying it again). I will be ready for my new adventure.

Salt Lake City Energizer

March 3, 2011

I don't think anyone reads this but its good to get things out of my head, even if it will help me sleep at night.

I am moving in 28 days to Salt Lake City, Utah, and everything was settle. I got the transfer with my work and a place to live, I even made sure my gym membership would transfer. Everything was set, until last week.

I received word from my cousin that she received a letter from the HOA and counsel about me moving in. What she told me was " We got a letter stating that we need to give 30 days written notice for the condo....and then the Board of Directors have to give written consent. We just got this letter two days ago. We are going to send a formal written notice immediately. The HOA told David that is was O.K. and now this. There is a problem because of the age. These are the rules of anyone not 55 or older.
We will let you know as soon as we know anything else. My understanding is that the HOA knows about you coming. Why they waited until now to send a letter is beyond me."

So I may or may not have a place to live once I move. I think this has slow me down from packing and things I need to do to get ready for this move. I am stressed and my body hurts from not sleeping well. I hate this feeling and hope that they come to the decision that I can stay. I don't do anything but work and sleep. I stay to myself, maybe that is why I am still single..

So reading my friends blogs and others, I have been thinking that I want to have long blogs like them. But recently, I don't have that much to say and think but hope that someday I will.

The other day I went to the LDS Dallas Temple and was thinking about a lot of things since I was super early for the session I was going to go to. The last time I was at the Dallas Temple was when I was a youth doing baptisms. It seriously has been a super long time.

I am glad I waited for my friend because without her, I would be lost. I am blessed to have friends that share the same beliefs and good values.

Houston mini trip

Took a mini trip to Houston this weekend and it was fun from the start. Whatever you do, don't get a hotel room in Downtown Houston unless it is a Hilton or something you have heard about. Just sayin'. It was a good trip to the Houston Temple and then catching the Houston Rockets vs Dallas Mavericks game. It was a close game from the beginning and I am proud of my Mavs for holding onto the lead. It was my first pro basketball game and hope to catch another one soon.

It was good to take the trip with three friends. They are great people and it was fun to get to know them a little better.

I got to see my little brother and his wife. It was fun to spend some time with them. I don't get to see them very often because of work schedules and money but I know that they love me just the same.
