Busy Bee!

I have written blog entry after blog entry and I just can never really seem to stay on task to finish them or I just don't have enough time and then I forget to go back and finish them. I have been extremely busy the last several months with a super awesome life. I had the summer of a lifetime in the great state of Alaska, then I vacationed in California with my family and best friend, and now I'm back to normalcy in good old Utah. I'm living in my own apartment with my dogs, and it's adorable and awesome. I have a job at ancestry.com that I'm absolutely in love with. I'm starting up classes again in two days and I have a projected grad date, and if I work hard enough I might be able to move it closer. To me, life is great, always. Sometimes the things IN it aren't great, and sometimes my mood and emotions reflect that...but with that, I find it great that I have the ability to feel. :) I am happy. :) Yesterday was totally one of those "IN it" kind of days though. It was a really rough day with my fibromyalgia, and I had a terrifying experience with one of my sweet dogs and had to take her to the emergency pet hospital. By the end of the day I was nearly beside myself with so many kinds of exhaustion. But I was able to keep things in perspective even so, and today was much better, so that helped too. It also helped that my good friend Donny was able to be there to help me. Life just keeps moving, and it's crazy, but also fun. I'm really glad to be back home with my friends and family and dogs and just everything I know and am used to. I missed everyone and everything in Utah so much, but it was really good that I was able to have the experience of legitimately moving away for a while. Alaska for sure found it's way into my heart though. I didn't think it would impact me so deeply, but a part of me will always be in Alaska. I'm sure at some point I'll write one or more posts about my adventures from this past summer, but for now I'm just wanting to touch base and say hello. So until next time...!
