I Made it Back to Utah!



Well, I am writing this from a familiar place, my dining room table. Of course, this won't be my dining room table for long but that is okay. Change is inevitable.

It has been a hard adjustment this time around. I do not want to be here and have a bad attitude about everything. My roommate, Mary Beth, told me not to worry too much about this because I seem to be like this the weeks before school every year and that after the first week of school I become normal again and like my life. So, I am banking that will happen again this year.

I spoke in church today. It was interesting because I always write the full talk out and usually read it word for word. Today that did not happen so I felt like I was very disorganized but sometimes it is good to say what you really feel in your heart. Talking in church isn't my favorite thing, but I am glad I was able to. Preparing the talk helped me in so many ways see how blessed my life is, and to have that realization right now is good for me!

It is nice to be around friends again. I really did miss all of them and forgot how wonderful and hilarious they truly are. Last night, I had Nicoitalia's pizza for the first time since being home and it was divine. My dad would have not liked it because it was deep dish. But boy, do I love my BBQ chicken pizza. Leftovers today were so very scrumchious! I bought rootbeer to go along with the pizza and it made me think of home and The Claridge. I already miss my little bar, bizarre! People around here kind think that is strange, but that is okay too! (the party my mom had for all the Claridge regulars was a fun way to say goodbye! Pat had on great glasses don't you think?)

While traveling through Kansas I was able to see Morgan and her new baby, Spencer. I pretty much held him just like in that picture the whole 24 hours I was there! :) I love babies. I also played with Henry and we were friends. In fact, he cried when I left. That made me feel special. He would attack me while mooing with his new cow puppet I bought him! Very good investment.
