times a changin'

well, i'm officially done with efy. everyone that works efy keeps track of how many weeks they work....like when you're pregnant...
"how far along are you?"
"____ weeks"

everything is in weeks.

same with efy, except for some reason i never kept track of that. i'm sure theres a way for me to figure it out, i just havent done it yet. so, four summers of efy have come and gone, and now it's time for me to really be a grown up and move on. last time i thought it was my last day of efy ever, i was really sad. i think i even cried. this summer was very different. not that i didn't enjoy the summer or the people i worked with, but i was definetly in a different place this summer. the end of efy wasn't sad, but a part of life. now it's about getting another job and moving on to the new life in slc.

in case you're wondering, i have no news on the job or housing hunt. i've decided people asking me about jobs and housing is like people asking me about dating. when i have a boyfriend, you'll know. same goes for a job. when i have a job, you'll know. i know people are asking because they care, but it puts me in a spot where i have to awkwardly have to tell them i didn't get the job, or no...still haven't heard back. it's on my mind enough, i promise....and when i know, you'll know.  :)

i went to st. george last weekened with some pals. it was a great way to end the summer and get away from my hectic schedule of efy. i was at my brothers for the last 2 weeks (thanks again guys for letting me intrude!!) it was perfect for what i needed, but at the same time i was on a couch and invading on my brother and sister-in-laws space. i think i slept most of the weekend in st. george, which was probably boring for my friends that were there, but it was nice to be able to lay down and fall asleep at random times of the day. let's hope i caught up on sleep a bit.

this morning i woke up and chit chatted with grandma. it was beyond pleasant. after a shower and some lunch, i sat down and watched soapies with grandma. is there a better way to bond? i think not. i actually fell asleep. but it was still good fun.

i would have never thought that a week and a half short of my 28th birthday i would be living with grandma. jobless. houseless. so many things -less. it's not bad, but it's just different than where i thought i would be. im making the best of it. loving the time i get to spend with grandma and grandpa. learning alot from my current situation.

i'll keep you posted.  :)

this line "i would have never thought that a week and a half short of my 28th birthday i would be living with grandma. jobless. houseless. so many things -less. it's not bad, but it's just different than where i thought i would be"
change the age to 30 and a week to a little less than a month . . . and you've got me.
i totally get the it's just different than where i thought i would be. However, i am not really sure where i thought i would be.
love ya.
good luck with the job hunt. i feel your pain on that one as well.

Late evening talks? That sounds so fun. I want to sleep on Ryan's couch for a week just so I can have late night talks too. ;)
