How longs it been?!?!

So when I started this blog, I didn't realize how time consuming it would be! I also realized how excited I was to be done with school so I didn't have to write anymore... well, then I started a blog... I'm writing once again... A lot has happened in my life over the past few months... I hardly know where to begin. So I figured I'd go back to November where I left off...

November:


I faced many challenges in November. It all started with not having to work for the entire month! It was so nice! I'm finding I really like this year round stuff! I like my breaks! I spent the first week in Logan! Since moving to Bountiful... I have found I miss Logan a lot... however, I'm also still registered to vote up there. I headed up to Logan on Tuesday to preform my civic duty and vote. I love Logan. I really miss it up there!

I got to see my old roommates and catch up with many people I love up there. While it was fun... I faced one challenge I was not looking forward to. Although I had been perparing for the challenge since I moved to Bountiful, I still kept putting it off as long as I could. My last day in Logan, I faced the inevitable. I said good-bye to one of my dearest friends. Someone I never thought I would have to say good-bye to and it hurt me deeply. Many know of my relationship with Shawn. We had become the best of friends. I shared many things with him. After moving to Bountiful, I realized we both wanted different things. Before long... we started to grow farther and farther apart. It was time to end things and move on with my life. It wasn't easy but I did it.

Through the trials and the heart ache. I have learned many things... Life in General is an adventure. The good and the bad. Through out my life I have met amazing people who have touched my life in some way or another. Either through my coworkers, classmates, roommates...etc.I have learned so much from them. I met many people on my mission, in Israel, and in Logan. To them I share this quote: "Some people come into our lives and quickly leave, while some stay awhile leaving footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same again." -unknown.

Tha
nk You to everyone that has touched my life in some way or another and to those that continue to bless my life each day!

I now live in Bountiful... trying to make a new start for myself. I have new people coming
into my life teaching me many things! Starting with my amazing roommates! We have done many things together! In November we took a little adventure of our own and went hiking in Muller Park.

It was cold and beautiful... Oh and muddy!!! It was a lot of fun! I haven't been Hiking in the snow like this before. We didn't need snow shoes but it was wet, icy, and very muddy! it was great!




Shauna and Serena at the start of our adventure! :) Are we having fun yet???

It was a lot of fun... and very beautiful!


















We didn't make it all the way to the top because the snow started to get too deep! The trip down the mountain was quite the adventure... We should have brought sleds or ski's or something.... it was straight ice!!! And along the way... Serena slipped and fell... Lucky for her, I found the keys that fell out of her pocket... that would have been a pain to try and get back home without them!


Many, many, many other things happened during the month of Nov. Towards the end... my roommate and I attended the mid-night showing of Twilight with a bunch of my coworkers.... We had never read the books but seeing as how I didn't have to work the next day... we attended the event...WOW! It was crazy! Shortly after the movie, I started reading the books! I finish the entire series around new years... So from Nov- Dec. I was bit by the twilight bug.... something that is slowly fading off...

Thanksgiving was spent with family. It was nice and relaxing! I have such an awesome family! I love any excuse to go home and see them! I just wish Brenda could have been here too!

There's a quick update for November.... I'll right more soon... sharing December... and all the other crazy things I've been up to these days!
