A New Chapter

We had a lesson in Young Womens last Sunday about keeping journals, and I have been slacking on that recently.  Sister Burgess talked about how there are different forms of keeping personal records like photo albums, scrap books, quilts, and blogs!! Which I didn't really realize. SO I decided that I am going to try it! And I am excited:)
This is a brand new chapter in my life, and I'm really excited about where it is going to take me.  Graduation was about two weeks ago and it hit me! I am done with high school! Done with the classes that you have to go to but some of them are so stupid that you feel like you are either teaching yourself, or being babysat.  Done with the petty drama. Done with AP Art. Done with Senior English that felt like fifth grade English. Done with the constant swearing and inappropriate crap. ANYWAYS!!! You get the picture. I am very excited to be out. ;)
After graduation one of my best friends, Krista, moved in with her sister in Utah to have an adventure of her own.  I miss her so much!! But, I know that she is having fun and I will see her later in the summer.
 
Also, my family moved to Arizona last week and I stayed here in Colorado to work.  Thank you to the Allreds who are letting me live with them for the summer. I miss my  family already and I love them so much!! It was Caleb's 6th Birthday yesterday and I called him and I realized that I had never talked to him on the phone before but he was sooooo cute!!! And sounded so grown up.  Which is funny I guess because we've only been away from each other for like 5 days.  I can't wait to see them in July for our family reunion. 

 I got a job working at the top of Pikes Peak making donuts at 14,110 feet.  People always ask me if we hike up everyday and I say, NO way!! I can hardly MOP at 14,110 feet.  I cannot even imagine hiking it even once! I'm getting acclimated slowly.  Yesterday was the first day I didn't feel sick, which is great!  It's an alright job, I just hate being so secluded from the world, and being stuck at the top of a freaking mountain ALL day. 
Something I thought about today was that life goes on, and the best can be made of anywhere you live, and whatever situation you are put into.  I said it out loud and someone told me I should write that down. So there it is.  I am totally excited for what Heavenly Father has in store for me and can't wait to find out where He will take me.
