I'm Back!

Hello blogging world, it's been a while! And I mean like, a long while. If my calculations are correct, over a year while. I'm sorry. I don't really know why I stopped, I just did. I didn't really think about my blog until recently, when I've had a lot of time to do nothing, and found that, while I'm in pretty much the same place a year ago, a lot has happened and I have not recorded it anywhere. And there is a lot that is about to happen that I want to remember. I know that there are probably two people that actually read this, but I'm not doing this for them I'm doing this for myself. I don't want to forget memories. So from now on I'm going to do better, for real this time!

So while I'm here I thought I'd do a quick review of what's happened over the last year....

First off, I officially graduated college!!! Woot Woot. College was definitely hard but I don't regret doing it at all. And I don't regret my decision to go to SUU either!

After graduation I got to take my first trip to Seattle, WA for Kati and Blake's wedding. It was a short but fun trip.

Literally two days later I had to go back down to Cedar for Dance Magic's Recital. It felt so good to see all my kids perform one more time, and also get to dance myself :) I loved all my kids, especially my Jr. Premier girls. They were all so amazing and I miss them so much but I know they're all still being the amazing dancers I know they are!

About a month later I got my first full time job. I became a One Year Old Teacher at Small World's Child Care Center. It was an okay job. I met some awesome people who have become my really good friends. I also fell madly in love with some adorable kids! I never knew I could love and care for kids that weren't my own, but I did. But while I made friends and loved my kids, it was not the job for me and I left in March.

In August, I bought my first car!!! I love it and it is so nice to finally have my own!

In October I took a trip with Colton to the Happiest Place on Earth...Disneyland!!! We went with Brad and Melissa and their cute girls, and Chris and Amber and their boys, and Melissa's family. It was seriously the funnest trip! So many good times and memories that will not soon be forgotten! I can't wait to go again!

Also in October was mine and Colton's 4 year anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long, but it has and despite all the bumps along the way, I don't regret a second of those 4 years. I love Colton and that's all there is too it!

In November I turned 22 and got a new calling. I was called as the Beehive Personal Progress Leader. I wasn't sure how I felt at first, but I really do love it. It's hard sometimes, and coming up with activities that all the girls will enjoy is difficult, but I'm glad that I'm doing this and am really enjoying myself, even if it does make me feel old, lol.

In February, I started teaching dance again. In my basement :) I had some mom's in my ward ask if I would teach their daughters because they were unhappy with studios around. So after some cleaning out of the basement, I started teaching 9 girls from the neighborhood. It has been so fun! I love my girls, even when they are being stinkers. They are a fun group and I'm glad that I decided to embark on this adventure.

In March, Colton got offered a full time position at Varian X-Ray Products where he'd been working as an Intern for about two years. I also got two new jobs...on the same day. First I got offered a job at my old dance studio, Becky's School of Dance. It was an interesting situation that brought me back, but I'm so happy to be back. I loved dancing at that studio and I love that now I get to teach there. On the same day, I got offered a job at ABC Great Beginnings, another day care. It seemed like a good decision so I took it. After two days there though I realized that I really don't want to work in day care anymore. So after some serious prayer, I put in my two weeks notice on the second day. Crazy, I know, but it was a decision I needed to make and I haven't regretted it.

April was a crazy month that seriously flew. The first week we went on a family trip to visit my grandparents in Oregon. We went to the coast, shopping, and just had some good family time together. It was a good trip. When I got back I started my new job and quit my new job.

And now here we are, in May and things are still happening. Colton finally graduated and I couldn't be prouder! He is officially an engineer and working full time at Varian, which means big things for us...but I'll discuss that more as it happens :) While I am again unemployed I'm not worried. I probably should be, but I'm not. I have a couple of interviews lined up and I know everything will work out. Because it always does.
