i heart my mac
who would have thought i would ever love a mac? i didn't! i remember not so long ago trying to fumble around on some random mac computer at the Boling's house...and being so frustrated that there was no right click on the mouse. what?!?! that is how you LIVE on a pc. and it seems that everything is backwards on a mac. but..............................i bought a macbook on Friday. yes, sir i did. and it seems that a lot of things are easier on it. it has fancy options/functions...and i just love it. it is perfectly white and...perfect! so my next mission is to get internet and theeeeeeeeeeen i can skype/ichat! holla'!! soooooooooooo for all my technologically advanced friends out there who video chat on the Internet and update your blogs regularly...i am about to join your world. and i am stoked!!

365
One year ago today I rolled into Crowley Texas, moved boxes into a bedroom of a family's house i barely knew, and spent much of the day crying. I cant believe i have lived in Texas for a year now. it has been crazy. Crazy good, and crazy bad. I complied a list of the things that i have done in the last 365 days (in no particular order). enjoy...
1. survived my Camry breaking down
2. cried my way through a car wreck
3. bought a new car (i looooooove my civic!!)
4. Went skiing
5. Fell in love
6. moved into my own apartment
7. took out my endowments
8. paid off my credit cards
9. got two traffic tickets
10. got promoted 3 times
11. made new friends
12. gave a talk in church
13. traveled to Indiana twice
14. Visited Amy in Nebraska
15. Went to the Winter Quarters Temple
16. Traveled to San Antonio
17. Went on a date
18. was confined to crutches for a couple of days
19. have held 2 callings
20. got a personal trainer
21. Sprang my ankle, and messed up my knee
22. threw 2 parties (new apartment party, and birthday party)
23. had a surprise party thrown for me
24. "fell" out of love (or more like worked my butt off to not be in love anymore, *sigh*)
25. Traveled to New Mexico
26. went out w/ my coworkers
27. have saved 59 families from foreclosures on their homes
28. am no longer friends with 2 people i considered my best friends a year ago :(
29. have been to the/a temple approximately 24 times (more than the combined previous 7 1/2 years i have been a memeber)
30. Driven approximately 29,000 miles just commutting for work (just to give you some perspective on that. That would be like driving almost 5 roundtrips from Seattle, WA to Miami, FL. Yeah, ROUNDTRIPS!)
I am super happy here in Texas. More so than i thought i would be...or probably ever have been in my life. I have probably spent more time crying in the last year than average, but yet here i am, a happy little blonde girl, sweating through a Texas summer! Amazing!
