Moving Out



Well its official, I no longer have my own place. I moved my essentials over to my parents basement about a week ago, where I will be temporarily residing. I have been spending my spare time packing up the stuff I wont be using while at my folks house and cleaning my apartment. Yesterday I turned the keys to the apartment into the landlord. I am excited about starting down a new path in my life, but I couldn't help being just a little sad about it too. That little one room apartment was the first place I've ever lived on my very own. It was a good little apartment.

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Baskin Robins - I was an ice cream scooper extraordinaire (and an unofficial taste tester)
2. A.A. Hudson & Associates - This was a land surveying company where I did research and office work and stuff
3. K-Mart - I started as a cashier but moved up the proverbial ladder to be a "walker" basically I walked around the store and helped customers, it was great exercise!
4. Ensign Imports - This is the Toyota/Honda dealership where I am a warranty clerk

Four movies I would (or have) watched over and over:
Note: I love movies, this answer might change on a regular basis but here they are for today:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. The Princess Bride
3. The Godfather (parts 1 and 2...though I have tried, I've never stayed awake all the way through 3)
4. August Rush

Four places I have lived:
1. Bountiful, Utah
2. South Jordan, Utah
3. Cornish, Utah
4. Logan, Utah

Four of my favorite foods:
1. Sheilas Casserole (its basically a homemade mac and cheese sort of a dish, with a twist I suppose, yummy!)
2. Ice Cream (Baskin Robins is the best)
3. Meat...just kidding, I'm vegetarian! NOT meat!!
4. pretend Sushi (see, cause I'm vegetarian and don't eat fish...but i love, love, love a vegetarian roll...or tempura...mmm or those soy bean things, what are they called? I googled it, they're called edamame. Delicious!!)

Four places I'd rather be right now:
1. On a beach by the ocean
2. In bed
3. Somewhere warm
4.

Four things I am looking forward to in 2008:
1. I don't know
2. I still don't know
3. got nothing
4. nope, haven't figured it out yet

Four friends I tag:
1. Kayleen and/or Jared
2. Mom
3. Stephanie
4. Kjerstin

Ok thats the end!

The amazing Steph does it agian!

I just learned something very fun (although maybe a little OCD too) from Stephs blog and I thought I would put the link here so I can play with it later too (you know, when I am bored at work and think to myself 'what can I do to take a break from work for a min? Oh man, if only I could remember that one web site. Then I could play on it for a few...')
Anyway, here it is:

Don't be Afraid to Dream


A few days ago (or maybe longer), our wonderful little Steph put a post on her blog about some of her dreams for the future. I loved it, and it made me think of a somewhat profound thought (profound, at least, in my simple way of thinking). Are you ready for it??
DREAM!!!
What is it going to hurt? I think, and I know it sounds silly, but I think, that for quiet some time now I have been just a little bit afraid to dream. Those damn what ifs get in the way!! What if I try and fail? What if I'm not as good as I should be?? What if it hurts my little heart and soul when I aim high and fall short??? I've been through a lot in my life lately and I'm afraid of hurting more than I already do. But Stephie got me thinking (the wonderful girl that she is, I LOVE her!!) that if I don't dream than I'm just holding my own self back. I don't necessarily have to go for the dream right now, I can take baby steps away from this irrational fear of mine, but at least dream the dream. That way I can try when I am ready...or not, but its not going to hurt anything to think about it in the mean time
