and the final landing place is.....

SAINT GEORGE, UTAH

Okay, I'm sure you're all wondering what the heck I am thinking, and what the heck I am doing. I moved up north, just to end up back in St. George!?!?! YES. You read that right, and yes, I may be a tad bit crazy (maybe a LOT), but I've learned that when I get a bad feeling about something I can't ignore it. And that's all I had last week when I was up here. I still didn't have a job, and let's just say I was an emotional wreck. I cried everyday, I stressed myself out, I lost tons of sleep, and just could not say that I was 100% positive I should've moved. Everyday I woke up and asked myself why I moved. I had 2 job interviews last week and to no avail... no job. 

Thursday my clients from Danville came up to Salt Lake for the special olympics golf. I went to the hotel to visit them and they were all SOO excited to see me. I felt so loved and they all asked why I moved and I couldn't give them a good answer anymore. I talked to my boss that night about everything and he found out about all the trouble I had gone through and said he would love if I would come back to Stonebrook and work there again. I said, get me some hours and I'm in. 
He called on Monday and said... wanna start again today? and I said HECK YES!!!!!
I am back in Saint George again. I know it's the right thing to do now and feel at peace about my decision. :) Thanks for all the love and support over this past crazy week of mine. Sorry if I cried a little bit too much to some of you, haha.

UPDATE

So one day me and my roommates kayla and laura had a crazy idea. Let's move from Saint George we all said to each other. JObs were found, jobs were quit, jobs fell through, job interviews obtained, stresss of moving, sadness of saying goodbye all lead me to being here, on my brother's living room floor on a Sunday morning. Yep, I worked my last shift at Danville yesterday and drove up. I didn't think I had become so attached to life down there until I had to say goodbye. All of my clients were SO good my last week and were so sad i was leaving. Lots of tears were shed as I said goodbye to them and all the friends I've made over this year. Now as I try and put some certainty on my life right now, I will post some pictures of my last days in Saint George and hopefully can update again soon to let you all know what's going on in my life. Ha. HOPEFULLY. 

** I can't caption some pictures because I can't say clients names online. Sorry.

Pictures....

Tuesday night I got a call from my friend Lola, who is in my pictures below, saying that Koti (the tongan man i'm sure every one has heard about before) didn't make it on his flight to minnesota that night and wasn't going to go there until thursday... so me being the impulsive person i am, bought a ticket at midnight that left for six am the next morning. i packed, showered, and got all beautifuled up, flew down to san diego and hung out with them for the day. 
We picked Koti up from work and we went to eat. the picture where I am making a grossed out face is because we are holding octopus. he's eating, i'm holding it. after lunch, we went to the san diego temple and walked around. Then we went to Lola's house and Koti painted my nails. Then we went to the beach and swam around. Spent time together after the beach and then flew home the next morning when he left for Minnesota...... (is that a good description Christina? lol Love yoU!!!)























Craft Day Thursdays









My roommates and I have created craft day thursdays. This is weird for me because I do not think of myself as a crafty person at all. But we usually get together and have dinner and make ourselves a cute little craft. The first time we made friendship anklets/bracelets, and the next week we all made hand painted quotes for our walls. It has been a lot of fun attempting to be crafty and finding cute things to make each week. I also made an apron once with mama coburn when i went home for vacation :)
