I'll admit it...

Okay, okay... I've been slackin'.
I've been busy with work and moving things and all that jazz, but I really do have time to post.
I'm such a horrible blogger. But I'm going to fix it and all will be well! Yay!
Anyway, here I am, finally. And I don't have a Marvelous Monday for you...
Nor do I have the outfit pictures I was hoping to be able to start posting on here...
But I do have something else that's really cool!
My Bucket List! :)
Have y'all seen the movie The Bucket List? It's really good. :)
If you haven't, it's about these two elderly, terminally ill men who decide that there are some things they want to do before they "kick the bucket".
It's a great idea, right?
That's what I thought, so now I'm starting my own.
And it will be awesome. :)

Here's the plan:
Every time I come up with something new, I'll add it.
I'll put it in a post with whatever else I want to post, and I'll also add it to my new little pagina (that mean page for y'all who aren't fluent in Spanglish ;) ).

Anyway, here are my first few! -

She's lovely. And has a gorgeous, different sound. I LOVE IT.

Kbye. :)

I'm alive!

I realize that it hasn't actually been very long since my last post, but it really feels like it has been. I mean... No marvelous Monday? Whaaaat?

Let me just take a second to explain. :)

On Monday I packed up most of the rest of my room and moved up to Logan to live with my mom's cousin, Keli Nield, and her family (husband Ryck and kids Tanner (19) and Hannah (12)). 

I have already decided that Tanner is pretty much destined to be my newest best friend, because we're suuuuper similar. :) He even likes psychology. Winner, right there. :) 

Anyway, the whole family is fantastic. They've been so hospitable, and have really just taken me in and treat me like they do each other. It's been so great. :) 

Sadly my netbook, that I've had for a measly 2 weeks, got cracked on the way up here, so I've been out a computer. I'm currently using the Nield's family computer. 

'Cos they're awesome and said that I could. :)

Tuesday I had a little bit of stress right before work, but I got it all sorted out and got to work right on time! :) I was pretty nervous about the job and everything. At first, that is. 

Once I got in there, my trainer, JD, set me at ease within just the first few minutes. 

He is great, as is every member of my training class! In fact, my class is so great that we're an entire day ahead in our training. Yeah. That's right. We're cool. ;)

You know what? It's only been 5 days, and I already have friends that I know I'll keep for a long time; maybe even for life! The people really are fantastic. 

I'm actually excited to learn more, and to take calls, and just to come to work in general. :) 

Get this- My team lead (on the call floor. Essentially... My supervisor/boss) wears sweater vests. 

He's legit. :) And his name is Tannin. Imma always spell it with a ' at the end, so it's Tannin'. :)

Anyway, that's my update for now. I'm heading home in the morning for church and then we're off to Powder Mountain until Monday sometime. I shall try to post an MM, but if I don't...

I'll write one up and post it later. Haha. :) 

Have I ever mentioned that if you're reading my blog, I love you? 

I have? Oh. Well... I'll just say it again then. :) 

You people are awesome.

So much love.

Goodbye, my almost Summer...

I'll have to post some pictures of my room later... It's super atrocious right now. Why, you ask?

I got the job!

I will be taking customer support calls from Comcast customers for 6 hours, 5 days a week.
It's a little bit much... But I will survive it! $9.25/hr, with paid training... Can't turn that down.

I am officially moving on Monday. It's incredibly terrifying. I'm nowhere near ready, as my room will tell you... But I'm not ready emotionally or mentally yet either.
My brain still thinks that I have a bunch of summer left. Maybe it'll finally hit next week, after I've already lived there for a few days...

Anyhow, there are about 7 boxes chillin' in my room, half-full of a myriad of possessions... I didn't realize how much junk I had until last week. It's ridiculous.

Wanna know a secret?
I'm really going to miss being home.
Two weeks ago, I thought I had a month and a half to get ready to leave... I'm just not ready to pick up and go. I haven't had the time to prepare myself to leave my family, my house, my friends...

Farewell, half summer of 2011. You were awesome.


Psst... My title was inspired by this lovely song.

A thought for your Sunday...

A Rainbow

I saw a rainbow yesterday
All colors 'fore my eyes,
But I did not regard it with
A great deal of surprise.
Although I was excited and
I thought that it was grand,
Ne'er once did I give credit to
My Heavenly Father's hand.

So much we take for granted
Upon this gorgeous earth:
The majesty of mountains;
The moon and sand and turf.
He made the things we see
And all things that we can't,
He made the graceful antelope
And mighty elephant.

I want to show my gratitude;
To thank Him every day
For all that He has given me;
My debts that He has paid.
I know He'll always love me
And know just how I feel
Though Satan's lies assail my mind
His truth, I know, is real.

Next time I see a rainbow
Light up against the sky
I'll look at it with reverence
And praise my Lord on high.
