No more childhood home...

At the end of the month my parents are moving from the house that I lived in since the age of 6.  To my surprise, it hasn't been too hard for me. I have lived away from home for about 4 years, so I think that I became a little detached in that time.  But the more I go over there and go through all of my old stuff, see the house becoming more and more empty, the more real it becomes. They really are moving, and I will miss my home. Its is a big house for only two people so it is for the best.  Right now my grandparents need their help, so that's where they will be, in North Ogden with my Grandparents. 

They have been trying to sale their house for a long time.  It is strange that it has finally  come time for them to pack up and leave after 20 years.  

New Job!

I started a new job this month, working for the University of Utah Healthcare Department of Pediatrics. I have only been there for 2 1/2 weeks, but so far I like it a lot.  Great benefits, more pay, and all in all a great place to work.  I feel so blessed lately, and it has all happened right when I needed it the most. 

Mt. Timpanogos Hike of Death!

 Last month my friends and I hiked to the top of Mt. Timpanogos.  I thought that I was going to die! In fact I still think a little part of me is up there on the mountain...BUT I survived and I am glad that I did it. It feels good to have made it, and it is an experience I will cherish for a life time... The good and the bad parts!

I had to stop along the way and say a little pray because I was so ready to quit...It basically went like this "thank you for my health, please bless that  I don't die."  It worked, even though at times I didn't feel like it was.

I saw mountain goats for the first time! It amazes me how they are able to climb....




And the leaves had just started to change color, it was truly a beautiful sight. So grateful for god's wonderful creation!
