doesn't everyone just take a break during the summer? you are just too busy
I will just say that was my summer break and now I am back up!
I don't even know where to begin on this post cause seriously so much has happened and changed...its actually been a pretty rough summer. But I have enjoyed it as much as I could and am ready for whats ahead of me! To start off the summer I got hit with a pretty nasty break up. And I don't want to get all mushy and all but I have got to say its been the toughest one yet! Something I was not planning on nor wanting. But there comes a point when you gotta realize if both of you guys want the same thing. And unfortunately that was the case with us. We realized we weren't on the same page anymore and wanting different things. It also sucks cause we are in the same ward and same group of friends ha. I have had to distance myself completely. Which is why I think I got a new job in slc. I kept praying to get me out of so jo and to start a new chapter. And I was very blessed when it did happen. I got a new job in slc and decided to move up there and be out on my own again. I absolutely love this new job and the people I work with, it is challenging and keeps me busy all day. It has seriously been such a huge blessing and I am so lucky I got it. It was really tough in the beginning cause all my jobs have been pretty easy and laid back ha so it was a lot to learn and get used to. Its funny what the lord has in store for you, this is not at all the way I wanted my life to go nor did I see it going but I am loving where I am at now and everything I get to learn and experience each and everyday!
I was able to attend a beautiful funeral this summer. One of my best friends Tiff, from hair school, was married for about a year and a half and her husband was battling cancer for quite some time. It has been a tough road for them and she has stayed so strong. They came to Vegas to see some family and friends and I knew it would probably be the last time I would see him. So Mike and I went up there just for the day and was able to see them and hang out with them. He passed away the next month. I am thankful I was able to see him one last time and be able to see the happiness he brought to Tiffs life.They buried him here in Utah in Morgan and I was able to attend it. It was quite the emotional funeral but yet so peaceful. Everyone was just so thankful he was finally out of pain and in a better place. It has been tough to see such a dear friend go through this and especially his family. But sometimes its just part of the plan, whether we want it or not. And besides the funeral I am so glad I was able to spend some time with Tiff during this hard time and be there for her. I could not even begin to imagine what would it be like to have to bear her trial. She is a great example of strength to me and to know that for me it could always be worse.
Besides all of this I have had some really neat and fun experiences. Mel also had her baby this summer which was so exciting! It was a tough pregnancy and delivery but we are so excited to finally have baby Ivy here. We are all so obsessed with her and can't get enough. Then we found out Stacie is pregnant with another girl! We are excited to have another addition, it is so fun watching the fam grow. I feel like I can just keep going with all my updates. But I will slow down and just say that life is great and I am loving slc. I have met some pretty awesome people and been on some great dates with great guys. This summer has seriously flown by and has been so fun.
