Oh honey, Texas is NOT the south....

Hello, Hello from the good ole state of Texas! I've been living here coming up on three months now. Can you believe that?!? Well, the first two months went fast...not so much the last.  There is not a whole lot to report. Work is becoming increasingly busy. I've had a couple weeks of 55+ hour weeks, and I have the pleasure of going into work tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 7, and I've already put in my 55 hours this week. :( Oh well, enough complaining! Life is great! I have a job!

I can't really think of anything to say. I'm just that boring!!! I did spend three hours waiting in line at the DMV on Wednesday to get a drivers license. Three hours! RiDiCuLoUs! Please do not make me explain the inefficiencies of our government. grrr... In much happier news, it was 75 degrees today. How awesome is that? SO AWESOME! 

My calling in my ward is Family Home Evening Co-Chair. It's my eternal calling. I must need to learn that FHE is important. haha. Anyways, I have to speak in sacrament meeting in a couple weeks on how to make family home evening a priority in your life. That is a HARD topic...at least for me. I mean, I have a few things to say about it, but definitely not a full talk's amount on it. Please pray for me. I need all the help I can get.


Well folks, it is Friday night and I am wiped out! If any of you are in the Dallas area any time soon, please remember that you have a place to stay....well at least you'll have a floor to sleep on. Do not fret however, the carpet is super plush with nice straight vacuum lines. You will most surely sleep well. I mean, I am sitting on it RIGHT NOW, and I think it's great! AND, don't worry, they just sprayed for bugs yesterday, so no little critters will be sleeping with you. :)

Hello blogging world!

I have been out for a while. Work and studying takes up so much time! Here's a little update. I went home for Christmas. It was great to get away from here and to see my family. Even my grandpa came out to visit for Christmas, so that was good. It was a super short break. I haven't worked at my company very long, so I didn't have much PTO built up. I've been trying to learn my job at work for a while now. I feel like it's taking so long for me to feel like I actually work there! I have been busily studying for MLC when I am not at work. I will be taking the test in May.  Oh boy, these tests are stressful!

I'm trying to think of fun things to tell you. I've been meeting a lot of people in my single's ward. I've made some good friends, which is fantastic! I feel so much more welcome here than I EVER did in Greeley. I've been slowly "decorating" my apartment...and by decorating I mean hanging up one picture that I got for Christmas that broke in my suitcase on the way back here. I bent it back into place, took out all the broken glass, and called it good. There is still some college student left in me!

Peace out folks.
