New Everything

So as most of you know there has been a lot of changes in my life these past few months. I have moved out of Cedar City and am currently living with my wonderful grandparents who always have the nicest things to say to me. They have truly given me the support and love I have greatly been in need of.
I also went through a hard yet needed break up and even though it is hard to admit (even to myself at times) I still feel a little lonely once in a while and have to fight the urge to call long distance to Nicaragua. The lessons I learned are priceless and the friends that I have made with this experience I hope will never end.
I have also re-dedicated myself to find a new job where I feel like I am appreciated and not walked all over. It is time to move on and use the education that I worked so hard to get.
So that is what I have done... drum roll please....
YES I have found a new job and once again I will be moving ( 4th time in one year; I'm starting to think it is turning into a hobby) to Tooele. I'm not exactly sure were in Tooele I will be moving but the adventure and the stress of finding a new place to live, finish up work, move, and take the GRE for grad school just might kill me and if it doesn't it will only make me stronger. So Like the title says I'm starting new with NEW EVERYTHING.
I realized today that it is a bitter sweet moment and if I think about it to much I find a lump forming in my throat and my eyes filling with liquid. It has been an amazing 3 years in Southern Utah and I have some great memories ( that is have not had time to blog about ) that I will always cherish. For now it is of for new adventures and on to new challenges.

Hobbies

Reciently I have come to a point in my life that sitting down watching a movie or reading a book only hold my attention for so long. So in the attempt to keep my self out of the early on set of bordem I have started to do things that i have never done before. A few weeks ago I recieved a starter of Amish friendship bread... yes that obnoxious bag of who knows what and who knows what else to do with it. Well the fact that I have never actually completed that task of making the friendship bread i thought I would give it a try. Suprise it actually turned out really good. I did burn the tops of the muffins but the bottems still tasted fabulous.

So today I wanted to try something else. I looked in the fridge and found a few black bananas. In the attempt to make banana bread I realized that I had never made one before ( I always left that messy job to my older sister). Well after mashing bananas and adding a few ingerdiance I realized that I didn't have any bread pan, so I devided some of the batter into muffin pans then called the banana bread pro... My sister!!! with a little persuation I decided to make a half bunt.

And suprise when I pulled out the bunt it was perfect. we thought it would taste good with some frosting on it so I wipped up some ceream cheese frosting which i also have never made before in my life.

All in all it all turned out to be very successful but , I think I need to invest in a few bread pans if I am going to continue this tradition.

Granada, Nicaragua

We took a tour of the bell tower in one of the cathlic church in Granada

this was the narrow stair case up to the bell tower

Still climbing....

This was the view that could be seen from the top of the bell tower. (top: the volcano on the hurizon, Bottem: the city of granada )

After coming out of the tour we were amazed that we had been all the way to the top of the tower.

David and I after the tour I think he was just happy to be back on the ground

Nicaragua

David at the top of a church tower just a little sacred I think

So they said not to ring the bell but I'm kind of a rule breaker

( I didn't really do it)

It is a cool view of the Virgin Mary though

I got to ride in this cute little carriage out to Nicaragua Lake

One of the many Cathlic Churches in a small city out side Managua, Nicaragua

David suprised me with flowers when I got off the plane there are 9 beautiful pink roses

I guess he really loves me!!!

In the beginning

I have always been a fan of the sky. Little did I know that I would fall in love with it all over again on the trip of a life time. On September 1st I started my day getting on a St. George shuttle at 5:15am that dropped me off in front of the Las Vegas Airport. After waiting for 2 hours I was finally on my way. Where?, you may ask well from Las Vegas I was going to Houston, Texas only to wait another 3 hours for plane and end up in Nicaragua 4 hours later. As I looked out the tiny airplane window I was amazed once again of the beauties that the Lord has created for each of us. The colors in the sunset and the miricales of a rainbow miles and miles above the earth and the formation of the clouds and the contrast between the blue sky and the white clouds. I could not help but think that I was the luckiest person in the world. I was on my way to see the Love of my life and I was given the oppertunity to see things that no man could recreate.
But even after seeing the beauties of the sky as I flew by nothing could compare to the joy of getting off the plane and the antisipation of seeing David and having him near by for a week and a half. Saying that I had butterflies in my stomach would be an understatment, but it was all worth the wait. Now seven days later I can't even imagine leaving and not having him close for another 3 months. I guess I will just enjoy the time I have left and see where we go from there.

"Grave Thoughts"

So it is 5am, usually this is the time I am getting up to get ready for work. But for today I have not even gone to bed. I have have been up since 10am and I am still going strong. I am working a grave yard shift tonight, I thought I would hate it but I have greatly enjoyed the time I have had to think and get caught up on somethings I would not have had the time to do other wise. With only an hour left and not much else I can do I thought I would pass the time by up dating my blog. So here it goes--
For the last week I have been working non-stop. I have put in doubles almost every day and at times got a little sleep(which we all know is never good, I have also got upset at how things at work have been. While sitting here I really have reflected on that and I think it is time to move on. This matter has been weighing on my mind a lot lately and last week it really surfaced. I find my self being harsh and at times really mean to the people I care about the most. To those of you that I have hurt by my harshness and my stinging attitude I am so sorry. I have never been like this and I don't like what I have become. In the attempt to fix the broken me I have been searching for a new job, which is not going as well as planned. some things are finally falling into place though. Cedar City is keeping me at a stand still. I can not move up in my job, I have no way of getting more education, and many of my good friends have moved on to bigger and better city's in hopes to find them selves as well. So it is about time I follow suit.

GEMS!!!

There are only a few people in the world that you meet that become your bestest friends. The momnent you meet them you know you will be freinds forever, I have 3. These 3 wonderful women have pulled me up when I was down, have helped crack me out of my shell and have been there for me at every turn. Most of all these wonderful people I am blessed to call my friends are answers to prayers. It amazes me how often they are there when I need a shoulder to cry on a listening ear or just some one to pass the time with. I like to call them my gem friends because they are precious and rare.
