Welcome and Update

So I am pretty much jumping on the bandwagon on this one. I figure it is about time I start this blogging thing and hopefully I can make my blog entertaining for you as well as therepudic for me. I also set a goal for myself to keep a better journal so I guess this sort of counts. So just as a disclaimer this will be sort of a journal from me so it might include boring stuff like my thoughts on the books I am reading, dumb giggly girl stuff, venting about work and other things, and probably some boring updates on my not very eventful life.

For this first entry I guess I better do one of those boring updates and let everyone reading this what I've been up to.

I turned 21 in April and finished up my last full time semester at Weber State for awhile. I made the decision to get my Associates degree and take some time off from college to see where life takes me. I have thought (constantly) about a mission, I also started going to a new singles ward (I know, seems like a contradiction but I'm keeping my options open for now). I just finished up an online summer class and was awarded my Associates of Science in Criminal Justice on August 1st! For those of you that remember how geeky I can be, let me clarify, I am a Forensic Science focus in the Criminal Justice program so don't worry, I'm still a nerd. It has been a little weird for me since everyone is going back to school right about now but it also has been kind of nice. I really have had to put a limit on my spending because it has been really different having the money I usually spend on tuition in my pocket. Speaking of money, I (still) work at Smith's, but I'm working on changing that. I just put in a couple of applications with Davis County. I really am hoping to get the Corrections Clerk job. It is basically working the desk at the jail, helping with files and booking and what not. I think it would be really interesting and pays pretty well so cross your fingers for me.

I just this past weekend spent some time with my friends in Provo and had a blast. I am going to try and get down there more regularly, especially now that my cousin Ben is home from his mission. We had a great time hanging out with some of his friends this weekend and I'm pretty sure I haven't laughed that much in a long time. My goal for the near future is to be more social. I spend a lot of my time reading and watching movies and basically being anti-social and that needs to change. Like I said I'm going to a new singles ward and people there seem pretty awesome.

So enough of the boring update... here are some pictures and a movie if I can manage it of my recent adventures.

This is my cute Audi A4. I got this after I wrecked my faithful old red truck.

This is my cute little nephew, Jake. Kind of an old picture, sorry. He is about the cutest thing I've ever seen and it has totally taken me by surprise how much I love this little guy.
Me, Mom, and Ellen awhile back. They are my best friends!

So I know I said recent adventures but it turns out that I'm not any good at using my new camera... I'll work on it.
