Okay, here's the warning label: I'm about to whine and complain...b/c I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!!!
This last Friday was CRAZY BUSY at work...we had a line out the door from noon until 5:30pm! We hadn't seen it that busy in over 6 weeks and were NOT prepared for such an occassion! Nobody could even THINK about going to the bathroom or getting water, it was so busy. In the midst of all the craziness I missed a phone call from my landlord, Kyla, and then Janna...two of them leaving voicemails. I was beginning to worry and wonder what was going on...then the landlord sent me a text that made me want to cry..."Amy, I'm not sure exactly how to put this...the good news is you get new carpet, the bad news is your apt flooded! Give me a call when you get a chance. Sorry!"
When we finally got a breather around 5:30 I told everyone and I got to start balancing out and start the closing routine so we could all get out as quickly as possible...which turned out to be 6:15...not bad considering we close the doors at 6:05! I drove straight home and found all doors and windows of not only our apt, but the downstairs apt wide open! The water heater had busted and left 4 inches of standing water in our apt and began raining into the downstairs apt!!! I feel so bad for the landlord...he has a LOT to take care of :S
The landlord is doing great at keeping in touch. As of right now it looks like we'll be out for another couple of days...Janna is staying with her brother and sister-in-law while I'm back in Kari's house, sharing a bed/room with Kyla. We're so blessed to have friends and family that can help out at the drop of a hat!

Moved In...AGAIN :)
So I promised pictures to some, but I can't find the camera...I'm sure it's here somewhere :) Janna and I are officially moved into our new apartment and LOVE it!!! I had fun painting the bedrooms (she picked a nice light blue for hers and I picked a pre-mixed half-off paint that turned out to be a sage-ish green) and will hopefully get the rest of the apt painted in the next two or three weeks. Now it's time for all the fun arranging and organizing!!!
I was looking through pictures/blogs of family and appreciating all the time my siblings put into sharing with those of us that can't visit as often as we like...then I realized I've been slacking on returning the favor! Colleen and Olesia both seem to be pretty good at calling me out on it and getting me to share the updates, but I need to work it on!
A couple weeks ago I made what I call my 'suicide trip' to Utah for my MTC companion's wedding up in Logan. Two of my companions from the mission met me at work and we left at 6:30pm Friday night. We drove through the night and arrived in SLC about 7:30am. We stayed at another companions house for a couple hours (getting ready for the wedding) and then drove up to Logan. After the sealing we took pictures and went to a LOVELY luncheon at Hamiltons and then drove down to Provo to meet up with mission buddies at Denny's. When midnight rolled around we were exhausted and ready to crash! We drove back up to SLC to stay the night and decided we wouldn't set any alarms, just get the sleep we needed and wake up whenever, find a random church to attend Sacrament Mtg and then head back to Mesa...we left SLC about 2 pm! Mesa welcomed us about 3ish AM!!! To my surprise work Monday wasn't so bad...probably because it was so slow...which I attribute to people assuming we would be closed on President's Day.
That's the latest adventure in my life...other than moving of course. I'm really loving this new apt though, it was definitely a good choice! Janna and I are so excited to start decorating the place! The best part is that we're still in the same ward...which means I get to keep my amazing calling that I love so much!!! Nothing beats being able to teach from the new gospel principles manual...it's my little piece of the mission that will never end :)
I've also been working on trying to attend the temple twice a week now, versus my once a week routine I've developed. I figure I need to take advantage of the blessing of living only 15mins from the temple! It's amazing the insights and increased understanding that comes from regular temple attendance! I'm so grateful for a family that has set such a great example of that for me and supported my desires to learn so much about the temple...I absolutely LOVE all the books I received for Christmas this year!!! I'm learning so much and couldn't be happier!
