My first week of 'really' working at Wells Fargo (not just training on the phone/computer) is complete!!! I survived :) It's the best! I absolutely love it! For some reason it turned out to be one of the busiest/craziest weeks since I've been down here in AZ...all I wanted to do when I got home from work is sleep, but there was something to be done every night! Which is good, I guess :)
I was somewhat of a slacker and my temple recommend expired on Mon so I was very distraught about not being able to go to the temple this week...and not knowing how soon I'd be able to get a new one! Then I got a phone call on Tues and found out I could meet with Bishop Wed night after work...Thurs night I met with the Stk Pres and Fri night we closed up the bank just early enough for me to drive straight to the temple and make it on the last session! Where there's a will there's a way...the Lord always prepares a way for us to do the work He's commanded us to do :) If you don't believe me just put it to the test!
The other day I was talking to Kenneth about our holiday plans and it started to hit me how much we're all growing up...it's still weird to think I'm not the little baby anymore (probably more weird for all my big brothers and sisters than it is for me). I'm just glad we're still close as a family, I know we may not get to see each other very often but I still feel like we're there for each other when needed. I have a great family and I wouldn't trade a single one of you for ANYTHING in the world!!! You've all taught me so much, with all your words of wisdom, little talks here and there, and especially through your examples...THANKS for being who you are and helping me to try and find success in this crazy world! I love you!!!

Since GHS...
Don't know what exactly it was this weekend, but I've been thinking a lot about all my random experiences since high school...all the places I've lived and the people I've met...I've been blessed, no doubt!
Provo (fall 2003-winter 2005)...I graduated Gridley High School and fulf
illed my 'life-long' dream and goal of attending BYU and being a cougar! So many good memories living in DT as a freshman and all the awesome friends I made as I ventured out on my own! Then moving south of campus the next year, at least then I had some of my friends from DT just across the street (well technically on the other side of the fence...the one that ripped 3 pairs of pants) Not to mention finding out that 2 of my cousins were in the ward! Working in the Office of IT and applying to BYU-Idaho during a down time at work, just to see if I would get in (since I was denied straight out of high school I figured for sure they'd still deny me)

s like, convinced I'd go back to BYU in the fall. Meeting all the awesome friends there and never going back to BYU...I had some good times! Going to the dunes and egan lake for bonfires, camping, and random hikes...I'll never forget the guy that just got back from Iraq and convinced us that hiking up thunder mountain (a massive sand dune/mtn) would be fun...after eating pizza :S All the rec sports...especially tennis and softball :) The AMAZING roommates! Prep for the mission...Bishop Wright, my roommates, and close friends were so perfect for me at that time. I still can't get over the fact that I went to BYU-I and had fun...the place I grew up saying I would NEVER go to! haha

Fun memories...running back into old friends...the late night advice/wisdom from my great siblings/siblings-in-law...random 'filler' jobs...
Manches
ter, New Hampshire Mission (no I never served in NH itself...just Maine, Vermont, and Mass) So many people I met there, TONS of great memories!!! I can hardly wait to get back there to visit! I learned so much from all the wonderful people of New England and will NEVER forget those experiences!

Mesa, AZ...and now randomly moving down to AZ. I've run into people I never thought I'd see again, but so grateful to be back in touch with! Still not really sure how I ended up down here, but so grateful I'm here! As always I've been blessed with AWESOME roommates and great friends that make life so entertaining and fun :) Cause what's a day without laughter??? Well, honestly I can't answer that because I've never experienced one! (And I don't reccommend trying)
It's crazy to try and think about how/why I've been where I have, kinda funny thinking about how I ended up where I have. I'm glad I can look back on these last couple of years of life and laugh...no regrets...sometimes I think I would change some of the choices I made if I had the chance to do it over, but honestly I'm glad I don't because each of those choices helped me to learn and grow...and to get where I'm at today...which is GREAT!!! God is great!
