It's been TOO long since I've posted, sorry!
I've officially been in Utah two months! WHAT!
Time is flying by. I look by now and it feels like just yesterday I was loading up my car and heading east! Crazy!
It's definitely been a journey in and of itself. There have been moments of pure contentment, homesickness, frustration, anxiety, and happiness! Some days are better than others!
It's funny to think out of 60 days, I was home with my family for four. I never would have though I'd make it this long being so far from them! I'm really thankful I'm not homesick much anymore!
Since I've last posted many exciting things have happened! My dear friends Kaitie and Chelsea came for a visit (at different times), I went home and suprised my Dad for his birthday! I turned 20! I started school! Went four wheeling for the first time! Got sick and ended up in the good ol' ER. I wish I could remember all the fun things I've done-I really should post more often!
While four-wheeling this past weekend, I realized just how much I LOVE being outside and soaking up the beauty of Utah!
It was so awesome to be on top of the mountain, literally, and see pretty much the whole valley on either side! Thanks Derek and Russ for showing Chelsea and I a great time!

I'm taking online classes which currently continue to kick my trash. It's hard doing everything electronically, I'm not a fan but I gotta do what I gotta do!
I'm really not looking forward to the snow season. I hear it comes around Halloween? If that's the case I really better start preparing, as time is flying by! How is it already almost mid September?!
We are getting new roommates in our 5 bedroom house. Two are leaving come October 1st because they're getting married! I think we've found some really fun girls to fill the spots, thank goodness! We are all talking about having to move out if we couldn't find people by Friday! That was some stressful news! But, alas, I'll be living in this house until at least August, when our lease is up!
I LOVE the family I work for. I shouldn't even call it work- it's more like play time for me! Hah!
Eliza, the 3 year old, calls me Emiyi- simply adorable. She is the sweetest, most caring little girl. She knows how to cheer me up when I'm missing home! Little Yukas, as Eliza says, is smiley and a joy to watch! He's growing so quickly, it kind of makes me sad! The Parents, Alex and Karin, have been overly sweet and welcoming. I pretty much feel like part of their family, which is why going to work at 7am is so enjoyable!
I'm finding myself having more "me" time than ever. Some nights after work I just want to come home and chill. It's been great, having some quiet time to think and reflect. I really should seek more "me" time more often!
I pretty much know my way around Utah, not just to and from Walmart. I still don't understand the grid system, but I may never so that's ok. I know how to give directions to my house from the North AND the South. Awesome.
I LOVE the Salt Lake City Farmer's Market that they have Saturday mornings. I got some really yummy peaches, now if I only knew how to make peach pie! Mom!? Recipe, please! Too bad they stop having them at the end of September. Stupid Winter.
I've gone to Park City twice since I've lived here. I sure do know how to Shop! They have awesome outlets up there, where SALES are always happening. Also in PC they have a cute little street with lots of yummy restaraunts and gift shops. It's really pretty up there! If you ever make it to Utah, you have to Check out the Alpine Slides in Park City! Tons of fun and a rush of excitment all in one!
I wish this post was more exciting, but I'm a bit boring these days. I'll post after my next big adventure!
