Movin On (part deux)

You know, the first post I ever wrote was written on the first night I slept in my new apartment in downtown Salt Lake City. 2 and a half years ago. I can’t really think about it, cuz it kinda seems like yesterday. And it doesn’t really make sense to be packing up the apartment I just moved into yesterday.

My Wendell is being all ambitious and moving to Nebraska for law school (Go Creighton!), and now I’m un-shelving my books and boxing pots and pans.

Bittersweet, really. On the bright side, I'm moving to Riverdale, back to my old basement apartment (yup, the one I’ve moved in and out of. Twice.) I'll be close to my family, close to my babies, close to the school I’m sure I’ll eventually graduate from.

Downside? I currently live in the heart of an amazing city. Interesting places, interesting people, and all my favorite restaurants within 7 minutes of my apartment. I live with the most fabulous roommate, and her almost mostly fabulous puppy. I have one really nice neighbor, and hundreds of others that don’t talk to me, which I really appreciate. And my building is called Chateau Le Man. Um, hello. That makes it awesome.

I’m gonna miss it. Muchos. Times two.

Oh well. Got to keep moving. Hopefully this is me making good decisions.

Absolute Faves.

I don't know if you know this, but I'm related to the cutest little babies ever.

Proof?

Aww...They're holding hands. Tote Adorbs =)

Day 8

 

Short Term Goals for the Month…

I thought I’d wait until the first of the month to post this---give myself a full 31 days to complete.

(I kinda hate goals, I won’t lie. I’ve made a point not to make any…reduces the chances of failure, I’ve found)

But, in the spirit of blogging, I’ll concede.

Goals for the month of May

…Blah…

1. Finish my book Tess of the D'Urbervilles—I’ve only been reading it on and off for a year…so maybe its time.
2. Do my visiting teaching.
3. Make progress on my painting (I went from finish, to significant progress, to progress. I aim high)
4. Go camping. In a tent.
5. I’m trying to lessen my sugar intake. So we’ll make that a goal—Eat less chocolate.
6. Work-out like…twice a week.
7. Wear a hat out and about.
8. Visit Four Corners.
9. Practice the piano and the guitar weekly.
10. Ride the Sky Coaster at Lagoon.
11. Go to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point.

Day 7

A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you….

Okay…

I just love my parents. More than anything. This is what a relationship should be like. This is how you love. And they’ve taught me this throughout my life—I want to be like just like them someday. Probably why I’m being so picky. My future husband has a lot to live up to.

  

Are you seeing how awesome these people are? Look closely. How could I not be affected by them. They’re fantastic!

(we are missing a couple people in this picture, namely Baby Owen and Whore-hey(Jorge)—Saydee’s Lover/Spouse…They are important too, but I haven’t taken a picture with them in it yet.)

And of course. My foundation.

Back to Day 5…

So. Traveling is pretty much great. So I go places. These are the states I’ve been/drove through/had a layover—(driving through and laying over totally counts)

I’ve also been here:

  

And here:

And of course here:

    

 

  

(Don’t ask me how I managed to make the same face each time over a 5 year span)

(Guess I’m just talented like that.)

Day 6 (Cuz I forgot what 5 is...)

My favorite super hero.

Um…Batman? Cuz he’s…tall?

Yup.

DAY 4

A Habit I Wish I Didn't Have...
Holy. Moly. If I could change anything about myself it would be this...

I have this terrible habit of not cleaning my room. Its plagued me for as long as I can remember. I think most of it has something to do with the fact that:

My closet is yay big…

|____|

and the amount of clothes I have is yay big…

|________________|
Do you see the predicament I'm in? My life is hard.

Anyway. Its on my list of things to do.

You know, get a bigger closet.
