hello, again!

hello, dear friends!

i'm sorry i have neglected this blog of mine for over a month.

yikes.

i've tried writing a few different posts, but each one was dumber than the last.

but, i feel like i need to document what has transpired and not be a perfectionist about it.

so, here goes.

in the past month, i have:

graduated from college

started redoing my room [my walls are grey!]

gone to an ok ikumi/boy who could fly show

gotten lost in the provo temple baptistry,

helped my sister pack up her belongings in a moving truck

said goodbye to said sister as she moved to indiana

missed my sister who has moved to indiana

applied to many jobs and an internship at a local museum

started going to a new singles ward

received a calling {relief society instructor [exciting! my favorite calling! (no sarcasm)]}

played with my niece and nephews lots and lots

and experienced my very first break-up.

it's been a busy month.

and although it hasn't been easy [when is life ever easy?!], i've learned so, so much about myself.

i'm kind of a wreck right now, but i know that i'll be able to get through this difficult transitory state with a lot of help. my parents have already helped me out more than i can say by giving me sound advice, comfort, and thousands of much-needed hugs.

now i sound braggy.

anyway.

i've been looking forward to this time in my life for so long and i think i always imagined it being magically a thousand times better than my life in idaho, but i realized today that i have to work just as hard to be happy here as i did in rexburg.

so, from here on out, i'm done with the pouting and the crying [everyday] and ringing in this new phase of my life with a newfound positive attitude.

here goes!

wish me luck!

[and don't worry... i'll be back soon! here's to not neglecting my blog for over a month ever again (unless i have a really good reason to)!]
