So life resumes. This blog will get some attention. And everything carries on.
It's weird how much you change on your mission, but then get home and realize just how very little everything else changed.
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude thinking about my mission. It's a little strange being a "return-missionary." It's a big title that I'm still trying to figure out how to wear, like one of those awkward oversized chunky sweaters that never seem to fit right.
Well, I'll just dump some pictures to catch up for the last 3 weeks (feels like a year but 1 day all at the same time)!
The airport scene. It was wild. So many emotions.
My mom is so talented. Look at this 'welcome home' banner--to die for!
Look who came to see me that night (:
My cute trainer, Mariah, was in cahoots with my mom! She surprised me at Temple Square while I was there with my mom and Corb.
A week after getting home, I flew back to California--this time to my dad's house!
Cute Kennedy Lynn--she loves taking "sister pictures"
Had a cool surprise one night! A limo picked us up from dinner and we drove through neighborhoods decked out with Christmas lights. Too fun.
Then this happened:
It's a lighter brown now! Especially in the sun. I'm very happy with it.
Family pictures! These two are just from someone's phone.
A very unflattering picture of me giving my first homecoming talk in CA. Went great!
Cute Charlie just lays on you like a furry pancake.
We went to a new theater where they serve you dinner during the show. Neat!
Got to skype with Jana McQueen, my New Zealand companion (: I almost cried when I saw her. Such a happy occasion! Adore her. She changed my life.
Came back to Utah! Went on a double date with a friend from the mission, Chad.
Aquarium and pizza at "The Pie Pizzeria" after, so fun!
The things my mom does to me...
They wrapped me up for our New Years card family picture haha.
Moved back to Provo!
I had fun with my apartment decor (:
First day of school!
Ran into Jess and Shannon, both from my mission (:
That's it for now.
I'm living at The Elms, which has been the greatest blessing. I am in Genevieve's building (she's the one who got me a contract here!), and the ward is absolutely amazing. My roommates are to die for. I'm convinced they're perfect.
I am back working at The Wall--woohoo! Sterling hired me again (: This time though, I'm assistant to the event coordinator. The main bulk of my job is doing booths on campus, handing out flyers, hanging up posters around campus, and selling tickets at our events. I couldn't be happier! I got to choose my hours, and it's doing something I love and am very used to--talking with everyone and shoving cards at them. I can do that (; Now I'm just getting paid for it!
My first day of classes was just peachy. I keep running into old friends, cousins, people from my mission, etc. and it is SO FUN! I love being here. And serving in a YSA ward the last 6 months of my mission immensely benefited me, seeing as I learned how to be normal. It's made the transition a ton easier, I can't even imagine how I would've been without my Northridge YSA ward!
Once again, I just feel overwhelmingly blessed.
More to come.
(:
