Real quick update. :]
There really isn't very much to update on though.
I have officially started as a baker at Smart Cookie. Which is nice, because now my hours match Troy's, and I get paid a lot more. We are both big fans of both of those things. He started working for my dad last week, and has been doing really well. I think. :] He's learning some new words that's for sure, and got a nice tan going. He works thirteen hour days, which is long and not fun, but it's only for the summer and it's going to pay off. Literally.

We spent this Sunday in St. George, because Troy's cousin Eric came home from his mission and was speaking in Church. Although it was a lot of car time, and I almost lost it, it was a really good weekend. I got to meet a lot of his family, including his older brother Chad and his wife Lindsay and three little boys. They were not a fan of me at first, but they warmed up to me as the day went on. Mostly, they were my friends when I showed them Troy's weak tickle spots, and helped them get him good. :]

I'm having a rough time with Parker being in Logan. I don't really like it at all. I wish that she were down here with me still, and we could hang out whenever we wanted. But it is good for her to be up there. I just miss her a lot. :/ She really is my best friend. When we get old, we are going to still be best friends. Despite what Kris says. :]

Happy TWO YEARS at Smart Cookie. Wow. We have had some good times.......

The Bridal Show me and Kayla worked. Good time.

Baking in our Country-Dancing get up. That's how the BakingDuo does it. :]

This was our last days. I made us awesome aprons. :]

The Nasty Spider Micah and me caught and froze. Then it survived.

While begin home is nice, and I'm loving it, it is slightly uneventful.

My days consist of work, Troy, and being home sometimes.

I have had some pretty interesting things happen, and I'll let you know about those. :]

Super stressed about my grades when school ended, being home didn't help at all. It was all I could think about. I knew there was nothing more I could do, but just wait for them to be posted. I checked every day, multiple times. Finally, the results are in.

I totally made the cut, and I'm keeping my scholarship! It was a little close, but I managed to pull of an A in every other class except Biology. (Human Development I got an A-, but it's still an A in my book. :] )

Troy got a job working with my dad, so he finished the week up at the farm and starts at Hadco on Tuesday. It's going to be rough work, but oh well I guess.

I'm doing full time at Smart Cookie. Boring. He wants me to bake full time, so we will see. I don't know about this plan.

I hate that Parker is in Logan and I'm not. I miss having her around. :/ We will be together soon enough though I guess. It's just lonely with only Troy to keep me company. Haha. :]

We went and saw Robin Hood last night, and despite hearing that it got horrible reviews, I loved it! I thought it was way good. I would watch it again no problem, and I don't even really like Robin Hood.

The missionaries got a hold of Maddison, and they said that she accepted the DVD. She called me the other day while I was working, and I have yet to call her back. I'm such a slacker at catching back up with people! It's horrible!

I'm glad that the weather is good now, hopefully it stays this way! I want to get the boat out on the lake, and a tan going. :]

I'm doing alright at writing here, so that's good enough for me.

This past weekend we did some pretty fun things.

Sunday was Mother's Day, and that was good. We went to Church, and all of us wore our flowers my dad bought. After church I hung out at home, until dinner. We had steak and crab legs. It was so funny. Everyone was laughing like the whole time, and it was very fun. The food was good too. After dinner I went over to the Butterfield's and we watched Amazing Race. The brothers won. Which I was okay with, I just really wanted the Cowboys to win. Oh well. Then we watched the second Apple Dumpling Gang movie. It was funny. :] It was another one of those good nights.

Me and Troy and Parker met up with some people from Logan at the SLC Temple Saturday night. We walked around the Visitor's Center for a while, because the boys were doing a session. It was really good. We met some sister missionaries, and they asked me to fill out a card with someone I knew who wasn't a member, and they would send them something. I thought of Maddison, and even though she would probably not like it very much, I did it anyway. I got a call from the missionary today, and she said she spoke to Maddison, and she is accepting the DVD I choose to send her. That's good at least. I miss that girl.

Following our adventures at the Temple, me, Troy, Kris, and Parker went and ate at California Pizza Kitchen. It was late, but it was good.

Saturday during the day, we cleaned up at the Page's side. We were helping Grandma and Grandpa de-clutter their house, even though I don't think Grandma really enjoyed it that much. :] But it worked out, and it was a lot of fun. They have so much cool stuff, especially from Grandpa Jones and Grandma Annie. I loved it. :]

Saturday morning was the Nerdtacular, and I went with Parker. It was great! I loved Iron Man 2. :] Big fan! We didn't stay very long, because we were headed straight up to Bountiful after, but it was way cool to see the movie and the Johnson's.

Today, Monday, me and Troy took a little adventure. We had to go to Tooele to get the meat from the Lambert's for my dad. It was quite the task. We had to pack all the coolers in my mom's car, pick up a whole bunch of money (I had never had that much cash in my hand before. :] ) and drive out to Tooele. We missed our exit. And let me tell you, when you miss that exit, it's not exactly as easy as just taking the next one and getting back on the freeway. We had to go like ten miles in the middle of nowhere to the Grantsville exit or something. It was a pain, but I wasn't paying attention so I take all the blame. There was a lot of meat. But we got it all, and then headed back home.

I worked tonight and that was lame. But I actually enjoy working the counter in Fort Union more than AF, because it's slower. :] Less customers.

Yesterday I moved away from Logan, back to home.

It feels good.

All my stuff is in boxes/suitcases in the basement, I can't get to anything, and there is a huge TV in the passenger seat of my car, but it still feels good.

Slowly but surely, I'm growing less and less stressed about things. It's a very good feeling. I will miss the girls in Logan. The funny memories we have, but I'm extremely grateful now, for this blog. Without it, I wouldn't have anything to look back on, and remember fun things we did.

Thank you great idea I had way back in September.

As you can tell, I changed the layout. Again. I felt, that since I'm now home, it needs to be different like my living arrangements. Don't ask.

I haven't done anything exciting since being here.

We fit all of my stuff in our two cars. Because we are amazing.

I watched Survivor with Troy.

Slept in. Which was very needed.

We were supposed to go to lunch with my grandparents today, but Ester fell and broke her hip so they are at the Hospital with her. That's unfortunate.

I'm glad I start working next week, otherwise, I would be going crazy with nothing to do. This short break is nice though. And the weather is good today!

I want to go to the zoo. :]

Happy Birthday to my very best friend! :]

Today was a rough day for me. Last night, me and Troy kind of fought, so waking up this morning was not what I wanted to do. It was all resolved, and all is back to normal between us. But it was rough. I almost missed my Biology final. I thought it was at one-thirty, no definitely not, eleven-thirty. It was a potentially bad situation. Luckily Tori text me and reminded me of the correct time, and I was ready to go, so I made it. I didn't do so great on it, I got a 70. I got a B in the class overall, and so I'm praying that I make grades for my scholarship. But, that's not something I want to think about right now.

I'm pretty much out of the LLC. Everything is packed, and I just have to put the rest in my car. I think, by some miracle, me and Parker might actually fit everything in our cars. I have so much crap. Holy. I didn't realize just how much I had, and it sucked packing it all up and worrying about getting everything in the cars. We will see tomorrow....

Leaving is very bittersweet. I'm so freaking excited to get out of here, and not have to worry about cleaning up everything and all that. My roommates, were not the best at that. I will be sad to see them go however, and leave the independence behind. Not like I'm barred and imprisoned at home, but I like being all by myself. It's been fun. But I'm really ready to go home. I miss my family. I'm super excited to get to hang out with my sisters though. It's funny how much I miss them, and being able to hang out with them. It will be good. Plus, everyone, (just pretend like what I'm about to say is as exciting to you as it is to me).......

tomorrow, I never have to drive longer than two minutes to see Troy ever again! :]

I know, it's amazing. I am extremely happy.

This is the last blog from E403.

May 4 2010

I have empty walls.

All the Marilyns have been taken down, there are no more pictures, calendars, and all the Princess things have been packed away.

Today, began the bittersweet movement.

I'm sad to go, but happy to return.

I have a lot of stuff, and I'm getting more and more nervous for how I'm going to get all that stuff where it needs to go. Hopefully, mine and Parker's cars will prevail, and we will have no problems. Right. That never happens to me. I have to take Maddison's TV, and it's kind of a larger item.

Speaking of Parker, she left yesterday with Troy around five p.m.

She is back now, and arrived around nine. She went twenty eight hours. I love my best friend. :]

It's her birthday, so she came up to celebrate with me. I'm excited. I have one final, then we will pack pack pack, then party. I'm highly looking forward to some me and Parker time, because this weekend two boys leeched our time together. (Not like we cared, but for dramatic effect.)

This Saturday is the Nerdtacular, which is the big movie screening that Scott Johnson shows every year for his fans. Me and Troy are going, and we are going to see Iron Man 2. I'm very excited. This is also bittersweet however, because we're driving separate, then both running off to different ends of Utah right after. It's the big family cleaning day in Bountiful (I'm not sure what this entails, but my dad said it on the phone like I should know, so we're pretending. :] ) so I'm going up there to hang out, and help. It's going to be good to see everyone from the Page side, because I haven't seen a lot of them in forever. Since Kevin's homecoming I think. It would have been nice if Troy could come up too, because then he could meet everyone. But he has a baseball game in Provo.

I'm still really stressed about finals, and grades. We will see. I don't really like thinking about it.

I'm just ready for all the bittersweet to be over in my life, and to just be sweet. Like summer. :] I can't wait to boat with my best friend. Fires in the backyard. Hang out with the neighbors. I love summertime.

So....I missed a couple of days. No big deal. I'll play catch up. :]

Quickly, this weekend we.....

Went ROLLER-BLADING! I finally got to go, and it was great.

Me and Parker got our butts kicked at Laser Tag.

Busted an air mattress pump.

Nearly busted my foot. (Thanks a heap, Troy. :] )

Watched a whole lot of movies.

Saw Avatar....not as great as everyone made it seem.

Studied.....HA.

Fixed some friendships.

Chorist-ed for a final time.

Made dinner.

Baked a cake.

Coughed my lungs out.

Busted out one of the games I've been hiding in my closet.

Watched the Jazz win. :]

Found out the Jazz lost. :/

Almost was killed by the Sacrament.

In a small nutshell, this is what me, Troy, Parker, and Kris did this weekend. It was really great. My finals started this week, and it was good to be able to spend time with everyone before the hard stuff began. I honestly cannot believe that this year is over. Close that chapter on my life, and begin a new one. This novel I'm writing, it's taken some unexpected twists. I haven't killed off any characters yet, so let's hope that stays true. It's been a horror, romance, comedy, and everything between. I wouldn't change that for the world. I'm super happy with where I am, and excited to see where I will be going. I have the greatest friends. I wouldn't ask for anything more, and this weekend made me that much more sure of that. I'm grateful.

I'm out of here in four days.

I am rethinking my life direction, but don't tell anyone.

I had a plan, but I'm kind of changing it. I know, that's epic.

We will see.

Crap, I hate that phrase.
