Home Sweet Home

The time has come. It seems as though just a few months ago when I was talking about moving out of St. George it was just so far away. Almost like one of those days you never want to think about coming well guess what it came. Don't get me wrong I love being a home and spending time with my family, and its all part of getting ready to go. I guess I expected it to be hard, but that doesn't make it any easier. I have had so many mixed emotions, and often find myself breaking down in tears just over little things. I am just grateful for the amazing place that I have had to call home for the past four years. I got the chance to attend the best college in Utah maybe I am a little biased, but it was perfect for me. I have had the most wonderful jobs. I truly am so blessed to have met such great friends who have been amazing examples, my support system, and who just love me for me. Well first was saying goodbye to working at the golf course. At first when I took the job I had more of the attitude of a jobs a job and nothing else was working out so why not. Well I fell in love it was the such a fun job, and had the most relaxed atmosphere. I was treated so well some might say I flirted for my tips, but I was just being nice. I can't help it if I get tipped well. I cant even begin to explain every funny thing that happend on the golf course, but I always left work feeling so great about myself it was almost impossible not to. If I had a dollar for every time I was asked if I was married I would have tons of extra play money. Well on my last day they picked up lunch for me at Durango's, and got an ice cream cake at dairy queen. I don't know what I did to get so spoiled, but it was so thoughtful.

 During that week I did happen to squeeze in some fun adventures one night whit, and trumbull took me horseback riding. Then we got the gang together, and headed out to the state line to do a little shooting. 

I also got to go grab lunch with the oral surgery girls, and I just love them all.

Karley even came into town for the memorial day weekend so I got the chance to catch up with her. The day was filled with going out to lunch, shopping, frozen yogurt, just laughing and catching up on life exactly what we do best. Oh man I just love that girl, and I am so glad I got the chance to see her.

Another night we put the boys in charge and had a BBQ. We even played a little badminton I am not quite sure my skills were as appreciated as they should have been. Of course it provided plenty of laughs, and was one of the best nights. Then we headed out to lets just call it the airport road ate some ice cream, and played twister. I am not posting any of those pictures because you know the game is named twister for a reason.

The next morning Trum was nice enough to invite me to go out to the ranch with his family. Which was so great, and I loved every second. I even got the chance to brand a cow. Which heck who knows when I am going to do that again. Lets just say I got it perfect the second time. Later that day my sisters arrived into town to help me get all packed up, and ready to move home. Man, I didn't realize how much crap I had until I had to put it all in cardboard boxes, and shove it in the car. Of course we had a little sister bonding time, and fun between all the work.  Then it was one goodbye after the other. Sunday I went to my ward for the last time. Later that evening had a game night, and played at the park. Monday said my final goodbyes to friends, and I was quite the emotional mess. Got in the car put my head down, cried, and drove away from the place that I have called home. Luckily B was with me so she was nice enough to drive the first half of the way home.   

The Girls

Monday was B's birthday so we got up and did just a simple breakfast for her. Of course when we arrived home we did the whole family celebrating with a nice dinner and presents. That evening us girls went to the Bruno Mars concert, and had a blast.

I am finally starting to get settled in at home. I am just enjoying every minute, and I am loving being at home its just bittersweet. I miss everyone, and everything about St. George but its all part of it. Of course I feel like all my things are going from one box to another. I have so many things left to do before my mission, and I can't even believe the time is almost here. Only 18 more days!!
