Party time come the weekend.

I take the time to pick people up from the airport and drive to Salt Lake on a week night to have dinner and meet a family member for the first time. I picked Alexis up at the airport this evening after having dinner with the Jaco's, The Carlsens, Rebecca, Andrea and Travis' family. It was a lovely evening in the park and I rather enjoyed it. It has just made me think about some of the relationships I've let go sour, and as much as that is a sad fact, I don't want to rekindle them. There is a reason every person has come and gone from my life and grasping at straws to get them back doesn't make any kind of change to me. It would be stressful and just hurt a lot, I don't need to put myself through that today or any day.

I'm excited for the upcoming semester and all it holds in store for us. Alexis is moving in tomorrow, Melissa is moving out (FINALLY!!!!) And things are changing and moving forward, we're getting so many new people in our ward and I so look forward to getting to know each and every one of them. I really appreciate some of the folks we have in our ward now and who knows what this new ward holds in store as far as personalities and temperaments. We could actually become a social ward. How lovely would that be? I love my house and backyard and roomies and garage and kitchen and silly quirks about the friends I've made and the friends I've continued to develop friendships with. It always amazes me how much the lord has in store for me. I had a blessing at the beginning of the summer and in it was said, "You are where you're supposed to be" so I guess that means I've got some things to do around here before I can jet off to Seattle to live in the rain for as long as I can stand. I could die happy there. With the rain in a torrential downpour all around me. That is happiness. Give me a pair of rain boots and an honest to goodness storm. Oh how I wish that happened here. As autumn approaches I get more and more excited with the possibility of all the pictures. Oh it'll be so so fun!
Things are looking up and I've got to continue on this quest of happiness.
