When I Fall In Love

Living in Cedar City Update

I work a lot now! I feel busy almost all the time. I just looked up both Dixie State College, and Southern Utah University. I'm working on deciding which school I would like to go to. I think that at the moment, Dixie State offers more of the classes I'm interested in at a lower price. I'm curious about the teachers and if I will learn well under which teachers. I'm just not sure how to find out.

My job is good because it is transferable. I'm a hostess at Applebee's right now in Cedar City. There's also an Applebee's in St. George. The lucky thing is that one of my managers, Gary, works at both. I think that if I decide to go to St. George, I can keep my job, only in a different location and with different people.

I really want to go to school. I know what I want to do and I'm ready to learn. I don't want to wait too long. I also think I need a car. that way I won't be bothering Kari so much by constantly having her car at work.

This is really general at the moment, but I'll work on being more frequent with my posts.

I'm working on a little writing. It's mostly random scenes with all the same characters. Who knows, maybe it will turn itself into a book eventually.

Been a While

So I'm almost done with my class, and I've been reporting in to Kari every day. I think I'll be done this week. Keep your fingers crossed.

Kari has invited me to move down to Enoch, Utah and live in her shack out back. Now I kinda wish I had checked it out when I was down there for the wedding. I have no Idea how big it is, or if it has a closet or anything. She did say it has a bathroom though, and that they would put a lock on the door. So that's good. I really think I'll move down there. I'll have to leave behind a lot of friends. I think that's sad, but I think this might be what I need. It's a chance to escape St. Helens, OR and move on to something new. I'll also have to leave behind an almost boyfriend. He's been moving really slow, and I'm definately grateful for that. I guess I need to look ahead and move forward. This is Really Exciting!

General Conference Sunday Events

I went to Brother Garlock's house for General Conference this October 2009. Brother Garlock is a member of the Bishopbric in Canyon Road Singles ward. It was really cool. There were a lot of singles there to eat breakfast and watch conference. In between the sessions the choir had practice. I'm not in the choir, but they let me stay and practice with them and invited me to join. I really want to, but they have choir practice at 12:30, and I conduct the music in Sacrament Meeting at home in St. Helens. That's from 11-12. So I would never be able to make it to practice. It takes a good forty-five minutes to get to Beverton. I'd have to lose my calling for that to work out. They are singing some really good songs.
I met a lot of really cool people between sessions. I met Daniel Child, A guy named Trevor, A girl named Amy, and her Fiance who is also the choir director. For some reason I cannot remember his name. I'm sure I met more people, but Names tend to escape my memory.
After Conference Matt and I went to the Fred Meyer parking lot and read our books until we could go to a birthday party for members of the ward. It was also a housewarming for Freia. Freia is really nice. I like her a lot. She was one of the first people to welcome me to the Relief Society in that ward. I met more people there too. I met Freia's siblings: a sister Hannah age 16, a brother Hatcher (I think) age 18 Hey he's my age. lol. He wasn't very talkative though. I only got he name, age, and he said he didn't play any sports to which his sister replyed that yes he did, he plays tennis. I didn't get much more out of him. There was also a guy named Tyler. He reminded me of Ty in the T.V. show Hearland. Just his looks I guess. I didn't talk to him much either. And a guy named Micheal Zink (or something like that). I talked to him when I was talking to John Zimmer, and Nathan Doyle. John was really excited about Micheal's last name because it was later in alphabetical order than his name. It was kinda funny to watch. We were outside, and it was kinda cold. Micheal was the first to get cold, so he went in first. Then John left to go talk to someone else. So I was just talking to Nathan.
Nathan was actually the first guy I met going to single's ward. He's Matthew's Home Teacher. I met him going to College night dances at dance studio's in Portland. Matt used to take me to those, but Matt has given up dancing, so I don't get to dance very much anymore. Well at one point Nathan and I were the only ones outside, except for a couple really cute kids that Friea's roommate was Babysitting. We were keeping an eye on them so they wouldn't get hurt playing.
Nathan asked me to go to a formal dance this Saturday!!!! I'm really excited because I haven't gone to a dance since Amanda came down to visit early this summer. And Nathan is a good dancer, and He likes to dance, so I'm sure I'll get to dance at this dance. And the best part is I didn't have to ask him. Every time before that I've gone to a dance with a Mormon boy, I had to do the asking. So this is a really nice change for me. I love Single's Ward! Okay, I spent a lot of time on this, so I need to go work in my Online Course.

Keirin Anderson and me pictures

I think we look really good in these pictures. Keirin is really fun to dance with. I'm going to miss youth dances.
