I Feel Grown Up

It has been too long since I have done this. I miss it. I feel like I always say this, but I really dont know where to start...

What a year it has already been...

I feel grown up.

I dont know how to take this statement. Somedays it is amazing, and others it is overwhelming. I have bills to pay, laundry to do, and work to go to.. Then there is family to see, friends to stay in touch with, and school to worry about. The list goes on and on and on, but I am GRATEFUL. I have learned more in the last three months than I ever thought I could. It has been a blessing.

Moving out: AHH! I miss Greeley, but Broomfield is where I am now... and I love it! The best part is I am only an hour away from family and friends, yet I am still independent. Candice and I are really liking it here. The town isn't too busy, and is SO close to all the shopping we need. I'm embarrassed to say how many times we have gone shopping already.... guilty pleasure... ;) Our apartment is perfect. Now that we have our couch and dining room table in it feels like home.

Work: The restaurant is coming along! We are hoping to be open in a week! We go to work around 7 every morning and get off at 5 if we're lucky... This is all new to me... I have painted, tiled, grouted, sealed, cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, put equipment together, and on and on. The city of Boulder is SO much different than I thought it would be. They are.... well lets just say different.... ;) I find it all thrilling. Needless to say I am grateful for the hard work everyone has put in to make this restaurant successful!

Church: Church is amazing. It has changed my life, and will continue to do so everyday. The ward in Boulder is friendly, and im excited to finally be in a steady ward for longer than three months at a time.

School: Guess what!! I am registered for classes this semester!! I know you will think I am weird for saying this but I am EXCITED! The last few days I have really been thinking about the importance of school. I can't wait for the day when I can say YES! I graduated college... Hopefully that day is only a couple years away... My major is now Business Management.

My family is what keeps me going everyday. I get daily snap chats, and phone calls from Katie and Camille and they make my day! The random texts or the phone calls I get from my mom are just the best. They are always needed. The days I get to work with my dad are highlights of the week. I miss spending so much time with everyone. I even miss the dog..... Wow.. I never thought I would say that...   You can never get too much family!

Hopefully my next update wont be months away!
