A Bumpy, Exciting Rollercoast of a Ride

So it has been several months since I last wrote. For the most part it was just work, work, and more work, but lately some interesting things have happened.
I had a male texting buddy for a while, and about two months after we had started texting we finally met in person. The fact that we even met was my idea, and I set up the whole "date." Let's just say that it didn't work out, but I'm over it now.
Allison and I went to the Leonardo Museum and played around a bit. They have this awesome technology exhibit where we made this awesome marble track. It took us about a half hour but it was fun and we got it to work.

A few weeks ago my friend Kelli asked me to go to Prom with her. I know what you're thinking, why is Jessie going to a prom when she's been out of High School for seven years now. Well it wasn't a real prom, it was a birthday party for one of Kelli's friends.

A few weeks ago I got to be there to see Libby get her wings at her SkyWest Graduation. I also got to see Libby graduate from SUU a week and a half later.
Last Friday, May 3rd, was my 25th Birthday. I spent most of the day at Libby's SUU graduation but when I came home my awesome roommate, Allison, had made a TARDIS out of crape paper on the wall, and when I walked into my bedroom it was covered in pink and ballons that my friends Kymn and Russ had done while I was down south for the weekend. There were so many balloons, it took me a good ten minutes to pop them all.

So yesterday when I woke up to go to work, I went to get into my car then realized that my car wasn't where I had parked it. Now I don't have a designated parking spot so I thought maybe I didn't park where I had thought. So I spent the next five minutes walking around the parking lot and not finding my car. At this point I called the cops and reported that my car had been stolen. I went to work and a few hours later, at precisely 1:30 I got a phone call saying that my car had been found. I went and picked up my car a few blocks from my house. Luckily the car was left in one piece, other than a few unimportant things missing. God was definitely watching out for me. I must include that I think the real reason my car was found so quickly and with very little missing was thanks to my friend Ben's two youngest kids praying that I would find my car. Ben told me that they prayed as soon as they got home from school which was 1:20, and ten minutes later I got the call that my car had been found! There is something to be said for the faith of children. They need to pray for me to find a husband ;)
The last few months have definitely had ups and downs but one thing I've learned is that even with the trials and hardships there is still a chance to be happy. I thought, and I guess I sometimes still do slip into this way of thinking, that the only way for me to be happy would be to get married and have a family, but since that won't be for a while, I've been trying to find happiness in other ways. Hopefully I will have many more happy adventures to share with you soon.

2012 in Review

So this year has been a very exciting year for me. So lets cover it by month.
January:

I started my year off right by slicing my finger with a rotary blade causing me to spend New Years Day in instacare. Don't worry all I got was a pretty big bandage and a tetanus shot.
I went on my one and only date of the year in January, which of course went well as I'm still single ;)
I began my final semester of school.
February:
I bought my plane ticket to go to London, and made all my final arraingments for London.
March and April:
Nothing much happened except work and school. I decided that I was going to move to Salt Lake in August with my friend Allison
May:
I turned 24 and graduated from SUU with a Bachelor of Arts in English: Creative Writing emphasis.

Because my birthday and graduation were so close we had a party and several of my friends came up to Kanarraville and we had a BBQ.
May was a very exciting month because I went to London!!! London was the best trip I've ever taken, and the most memorable for sure. Hopefully there will be many more trips to England.

Right after London my friend Kymn got married.
Memorial Day weekend I moved in with my friend Erika.
June:
I started working at Tuacahn and the Chocolate Factory again. Discovered that the Chocolate Factory was merging with Utah Truffles and would be moving to Salt Lake City. I of course went and saw the plays at Tuacahn. Loved Hairspray, Aladdin was okay. I absolutely loved The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
July:
I spent the 4th of July in K-town with my family

I continued working. At the end of July my family went to Idaho and Wyoming for a weeklong trip.

I had to leave early from Idaho for my friend Erika's wedding. I was her Maid of Honor, plus we've been friends forever, so I had to make sure to be there.

August:
I moved up to Salt Lake City.

Allison and I went to the Brigham City Temple open house.

September:
My friend Camilla came down from Alaska for a wedding, and stayed the weekend with me.

October:
Allison and I drove up through one of the many canyons up here and enjoyed the Autumn leaves.

Then of course there was Halloween.

November:
There was Thanksgiving with the family in K-town.
I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2, and yes I did enjoy it. Now I get to look forward to The Host.
December:
Went and saw The Hobbit and loved it!
Walked around Temple Square and enjoyed the beautiful lights.

Allsion and I went to the zoolights at the Hogle Zoo.

Made Gingerbread houses

Then spent Christmas with lots and lots of family.

Sorry Libby, stole your picture :D

All in all a very busy, very exciting year for me. Hopefully this next year will be just as eventful and exciting!

It's Official: I'm 24 and a College Graduate!!!

So this is mostly just going to be pictures because I have to finish up packing for my trip to London which I leave for tomorrow. So enjoy the pictures.

Thanks everyone for the gifts and support. It was an awesome weekend!

Introducing the Soon to be College Graduate!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to announce that I am graduating from SUU on May 4th!!! Also my birthday is the day before graduation so I suggest that ya'll send me an ecard, text, or message on Facebook to celebrate my 24th Birthday. Also if anyone is going to be in Southern Utah on May 5th I'll be having a Birthday/Graduation party at my brother's house in K-town. So let me know if you wanna come and I'll give you the address and put you on the list.

I'm also leaving for England on May 7th!!! I'm super excited, and if you want a postcard you need to send me your address so that I can send you one from England!

Yay me!

Graduation

So I know that I officially graduated from Dixie State College back in December. However, I have decided that I am going to walk at the Commencement ceremony next month. Anyone is welcome to come and support me if they would like. It is on May 1, 2009 at 6:00 pm in the Burnes Arena. Feel free to come!

Update!!

So as most of you know I finished up with Dixie in December and I am officially done with Dixie. I now have my Associates of Science degree at Dixie!! So now that I am done with Dixie some of you may be wondering what am I planning on doing next? Well I got accepted into SUU but I also applied to Utah State. Right now I am just working to save up money to move out, tuition, and all of my fun trips that are coming up. I'm still not sure exactly which university I am planning on going to, but I need to hear from USU before I really make any decisions. But I just wanted to let everyone know what I'm up to right now. Right now nothing too exciting is happening with me but hopefully that will soon change!!

I love accomplishing things!!

So just to let everyone know I will be graduating from Institute tomorrow at 7 pm. I will actually just be getting a certificate for doing 8 credits of institute, it's not a big deal, but I love the feeling of accomplishing things, it's refreshing!!
