I can hardly believe it. I have been in Lethbridge for about a year and a half. Who would have thought that I would be spending my young adult life here... I certainly didn't. This year I don't feel like I have accomplished a whole lot. I moved back in with my parents about this time last year, and have been here ever since. I have saved a lot of money being back at home, so shout out to my parents!
Other than that, only a few major changes I guess. I got a second job at a Bridal Boutique in September, thinking that I would work there and La Senza alternately to make a 40 hour work week. Turns out La Senza was a total drag compared to the excitement of brides... so I quit the lingerie business and moved up in the fashion world; totally a smart move.
My love life has been a rollercoaster. I can compare it to my first time on one actually... kind of thrilling as your buckle in, butterflies and anticipation to start, and when you come out of the first major drop in the track it actually doesn't excite you at all, it actually does the exact opposite and you realize that the particular amusement you thought you'd find doesn't have a promising future in entertaining you and the exciting butterflies in your tummy seem to be trying to escape through your esophagus. A little graphic perhaps, but I think that it gives a clear mental picture. So to put it short, I stood in line at a few rides, gave my ticket and buckled into the seat, but have realized that I had the exact same feelings as I did my very first time and so I walked away from it. Maybe this fall will have some luck for me.. which brings me to my next exciting thrill of 2009.
I am going back to BYU-I. I applied for the Distance Education program, will take a few classes during each semester through online correspondence. In September 2010, I will be back in Rexburg and hopefully working full time at one of the many Bridal Boutiques down there (cause heaven knows that is once business that thrives...) and continue to take night classes. January 2011 I will be back as a full time student with a full day time schedule of classes, and hopefully some fun and socializing in the evening. Exciting. Yes. I am finally back in the game.
Thank you 2009 for a great kick in the pants, but it's officially time to get in the right gear and burn some rubber!
