I'm confessing my love...

...to Cedar City!

Today I am more happy than I have been all summer. I came back to Cedar City! Just for a quick day trip to turn in scholarship stuff, but I feel like I am home. I drove down by myself late last night, and I couldn't stop smiling. I was singing and loud as I could a lot of the way down. It was about time I was smiling and laughing to myself. I am sitting in the library at SUU right now thinking about all the good (and bad) times I had this last year. I love it all. I learned so much my first year out in the "real world." I can't wait to come back.


Being home for the summer has been interesting. Whether I liked or disliked my family before I moved, I'm stuck with them now. Once you move away and then come back you realize no one else really cares anymore. You have virtually no friends, because they have their separate lives now too. All I've wanted to do all summer is come back to Cedar City. I'm here, and I'm happy.


This summer has been pretty mediocre when it comes to exciting things happening. All I do is work. I'm not complaining since a lot of people can't find one job, and I have like 5. It's good to be saving some money for school. I'm working part time for a lady in my ward, so every morning from 8 until whenever I have to go to my next job I work for her. Then I work for a place called Home Helpers, where I go to peoples homes and help them there or take them grocery shopping, or to doctor's appointments. I work at an assisted living center in Mapleton. I drive for Snelson's Photo Lab 3 times a week, and I have a violin and viola student. My favorite job of all is as a CNA at Spanish Fork Nursing and Rehab. I love the little residents there. They are so fun and cute, even though it's really really hard work. So you're probably wondering how I do all of that. I'm not quite sure myself, but it happens. I don't get much sleep, especially since a lot of my hours are on the weekend. I've worked several 36 hour days with not sleep and just work.

This post is probably really boring, as is my life. Oh well. I did go on one really fun trip to Jackson Hole. I'll post about that eventually.
