Get Your Motor Runnin....

Okay, so maybe that song is irrevelant but it was stuck in my head :-)



ITS MOVING WEEK! Whew! Boy is it stressful stuff! I heard somewhere that moving is rated in the top three on the list of "most stressful life events" and I definitely believe that. Luckily unlike my other Provo cohorts, I do not have to try to move during finals....just during a busy work week :) I feel like I've learned a lot through packing and moving though. Here's a few of the highlights. First, I need to de-junk constantly so as to not have to do it all in the middle of moving week. From talks that "I'm going to read....someday" to old clothes I haven't worn since I moved to Utah, it was nice to get rid of stuff I don't need but I wish I would have done it before now. Second, I hate goodbyes! In the midst of the excitement over a new apartment and all I kind of forgot about the people I am leaving behind. I know, I know, true friendships stand the test of time, distance, etc, yeah yeah, but it's hard enough living in Provo and making the time to see friends, now I'll be even farther away. Also, my dear ward friends! Ah, I will miss them so! But I also know the timing is right for me and hopefully we'll all be able to keep in touch. Ok, third, change can be good. As stressful as it has been packing and cleaning and de-junking for the big move, I am sooooooooo excited to be living in Eagle Mountain and living with Heather. Heather is amazing! Over this past weekend and through last night I have been busy getting my room ready for me to move in, which includes not only arranging dressers and bookcases but assemblying them too. I am so lucky that Heather was there-she majored in Interior Design-Yay for me! She was like a pro and without her help, I would probably still be in that room trying to figure out the dresser. IKEA is a great place in every way, except their directions- horrid! Also, we are way excited to paint this weekend. We are doing a red kitchen and have picked a 'Golden Desert' for the living room! Now I just need to settle on a color for my room, but one thing at a time, eh. Okay, I think that's all for now. My official move in date is this Friday. And Saturday starts the paint fest ;) Then we are having a sort of house warming party on the 25th-if you didn't get an evite and wanna come, lemme know! :)
