A MOMENT IN TIME

Well, it happened. Not a week after I moved in with my beloved sister Jordan, she got me to start a blog. Heaven knows that I can ramble on about myself for forever but putting it all into writing might be a different story. Although, my biggest problem in every English class was that I needed to prune my writing and get rid of all of the extras...probably something that I have already proven in the few sentences I've written.

Anyways, I have embarked on a new adventure for the summer. Salt Lake City is nothing new to me but living here is a different experience altogether. My first adventure was going to a university singles ward. Talk about intimidating. It just so happens that the ward meets in the biggest institute building in the US and Jordan KNEW that I was shy and intimidated so she did her best to intimidate me. K, here's how it went. Hot guy parks his motorcycle and starts to walk into the building and Jo yells to him from the car to come help us. When he comes over she starts to explain that I'm new from out of state and I don't know anything and asks if he could please show me around. I was so mortified! So, hot guy named David (Jordan gushed over his name of course) shows me around the building and introduces me to a few more people then puts me in the care of the EQ President who just happens to be even more attractive than motorcycle guy. Then of course there were meetings and such and the new member meetings that I can never get out of, after which the girl who was in charge of it interrupts Sunday school and introduces me to the entire class. Again, MORTIFIED!!! And to top it off, later I was being introduced to a guy who said, "Oh ya, you were the one who interrupted my thought during Sunday school." He was teasing me but it was pretty painful to know that people now knew me as the new girl that was the reason for interrupting class.

After that first Sunday the week was pretty calm. I did some "job-hunting" but mostly I am not ashamed to say that I have enjoyed a lazy week with my sister and her family. I am having fun meeting new people and spoiling Corbin and Zaylee, helping Jo and Dave, playing with old friends, and catching up on some much needed R&R. I am so happy to be done with my Bachelors at this moment in time but it has forced me to look at the world in a way I have never had to before. While I still can go back to school and put off the real world, I have reached the point where the real world is beckoning to me.I can't be afraid to do all the things that I have been able to put off so far. I guess this realization hit me pretty hard today and I thought about all the things that I haven't done that I have always wanted to. I even...heaven help me...made a bucket list today. So, I guess my moment is up and the rest of my life is ready for me.............lets just hope I'm ready for it!
