All Things Must Come to an End

This summer has been a lot of endings for me, and last night I think I finally realized that a lot more things have to come to end before the beginning of a new school year. One thing that had to end was my job. Friday was my last day of work and I can honestly say that I was really sad. I loved working there, I loved my co-workers, and I loved answering the phones, signing for packages, and even scanning. But, it had to end so that I can continue on with school and my life. It was a job that was full of meaningful experiences and opprotunities to learn new skills. Saying goodbye was more difficult than I thought it would be. Summer also has to come to end. It is almost September! Where the heck did the summer go?! I feel like I have only been home for a few weeks rather than 5 months! I love summer! It is amazing; you get to have fun, enjoy perfect weather, go to the beach, take trips, and be rather lazy! Whats not to love? Well, I am about to go back to school, have to work hard, and return to the snow, but with every new year, a new summer follows! One thing I have learned this summer is that relationships have to change and evlove as people change. Unfortuantely sometimes it is not easy to deal with. One thing that has to end along with the summer is a friendship and the way it use to be. I have learned a lot this summer and it has changed the way I view myself and that has had a great effect on one of the people I love most. It has chaged a lot of things but I think that it will be the beginning of a new relationship and that makes me excited! Even with all of these endings there come new beginnings! I am so excited to live in a new apartment, begin new classes, make new friends, and start a new fall season!! I hope everyone has had a great summer and that you all are looking forward to the new season.

I Would Just Like to say that I Love my Job!

I would just like to say that I love my job!! It is probably the best summer job anyone could have. I am a receptionist for an accounting firm and I love it. The people who work here are not your stereotypical accounts; they don't sit in silence and crunch numbers all day, they don't wear white dress shirts with pocket protectors, and most of them don't wear glasses, and they are definitely not nerdy. Yes, they love numbers and are kinda nerdy in that way but other than that they are funny, loud, outgoing, and energetic people. My job is party everyday. We get food brought in for lunch once a week, we often get cake just because we all want it, and we always have the freezer stocked with ice cream. And, yesterday we had a cupcake decorating party....how many of you can say you do that at your office? So, since I sit up front, I get all the mail and sign for all the packages. Thus, I get to see the packages that everyone gets. I love it when someone gets a package, It is like Christmas!! I usually take the box and run back to whoever its for and insist that they open it! I stand there and watch and I get so excited when they pull out the contents. I have seen a little of everything; shoes, wedding dresses, evening gowns, t-shirts, contacts, bathing suites, and even a drum stool. You name it and I have most likely seen it. hahaha well, the other day I had to come into work late and when I walked in there was a package on my desk. Naturally, I got excited and I picked up the box and started to walk to the back. I looked down and saw that the package was for me!! I was so shocked, I had not ordered anything! When I opened it, inside was a beautiful Tommy Hilfiger watch. All the interns were up at my desk watching my reaction, I knew they had something to do with this. One of them told me to call my boss' wife. So I did and it turns out that my boss and his wife bought it for me because they knew I loved it when people got packages and they thought it would be fun to send me something! How cute is that!! I freaking love the people I work for!

Conference 08

So this weekend my ward was the host of a YSA conference. It was amazing!! It all started on Thursday and it ended on sunday. Each day was filled with activities and plenty of opprotunities to meet new people and have fun. Thursday was a huge temple trip. Friday was an amazing dance with an amazing DJ and the in'n'out truck. Saturday was a service project, an inter faith forum, a catered dinner, a show with an improv group, and an ice cream social. Sunday was a special church meeting, a lunch, and a fireside. It was really busy but so much fun!! It is kinda sad that this happened at the end of the summer cause I made so many friends just in time for me to leave... but now I will always have friends here. :)

Indecisive

Have you ever had an obsession or a phase with a certain food, song, restaurant, movie, TV show, or Olympian? Well I have just started a few new obsessions: rearranging everything, graham crackers, and Michael Phelps. My new obsession of rearranging everything is causing a few problems. I will start organizing and cleaning and moving things around and then I will get distracted and forget all about that particular project, leaving a huge mess. I am sure my sister (whom I share a room with) does not appreciate it and I am positive my mom does not like it either. But, I knew it was only a matter of time before this current obsession carried out beyond my immediate family.....I have decided that my blog needs a face lift, and thus all of you readers out there are going to see me being undeceive and rearranging everything until I think it is just right. So on to my other new obsessions.

I have fallen in love with graham crackers. When I use to see graham crackers I would get this vision of a 2 year old walking around with a nasty half eaten cracker in his hand and a huge mess one his face. But after my recent snack moode, that image has changed. The other day I was starving and all we had to snack on was graham crackers left over from Savannah and Jameson's most recent visit. I looked at the box of crackers and they did not look appetizing at all but then I saw Nutella and a light bulbe went on in my head. "Why not put the yummy chocolate hazelnutiness of the nutella on the graham cracker." Well, the out come was the most amazing mildly sweet treat! I am in love with Nutella and graham crackers! If you are need a little snack that is sweet but overly rich I highly recommend my new obsession.

So, my third and final obsession, Michael Phelps! I know that the excitement and love for the olympics has taken over the nation, but how freaking amazing is this guy!?! He is being hailed as the best Olympian of all time. I don't think there is much that can compare to that. I have taken to watching every single race, every heat, and anything else I can get my hands on. I have gone to his website, rewatched races and even blogged about him. He is fantastic and every time I watch him swim I am in awe. How come someone go so fast and beat so many records? Every race he swims is exciting and of course it helps that he is incredibly attractive and has a body of perfection....what can I say, I am a little obsessed. :)
