So, it has been months.. like 5 months to be exact since I have blogged- and SO much has happened. Firstly, I went through the temple and took out my endowments! How exciting is that? On June 18th, I went through the Salt Lake City Temple. It was absolutely amazing- and I am so thankful to be able to go. The following Tuesday I went to Provo, then Wednesday I went to Manti. The Fryes came in to town to go with me and then we went to Manti for a session and to the Mormon Miracle Pagaent. The protesters were everywhere, and it was hard to believe that some people will go to the extremes that they do. We stayed down in Selina (in the absolute middle of nowhere HAHA!) But it was so good to see them and I hated seeing them leave. My mom also came down in April! She stayed with me for a week, and while she was here she seemed to love Utah. It was kinda chilly so a jacket was almost required all the time. It was so good to see her.. I miss her more than anything. I can't wait to see her again soon. She will be coming back when I have my surgery....
Speaking of surgery! Mine is coming up soon. I am getting the Duodenal Switch weight loss surgery. Look it up, it is intense. So the majority of my medical problems will go away after the surgery. I am so excited to be healthy again... and skinny. It is going to be a nice change. :)
Back to spiritual things. I started at a new ward in March. It is the best singles ward I have been in since I moved to Utah. The Bishopric is amazing and everyone participates in nearly everything. It makes living so far from home so much easier when you are busy. I also started working at Ancestry.com. My old job- well lets just say that the FTC shut them down and the owners are in deep. Greedy people never get anywhere in life... life lesson for today. Ancestry is a really good job, kind of repetitive but good nontheless. I am thankful for having a job period. I recieved a new calling in my ward, Family History Co-Chair- most definately because I work at Ancestry haha.
Also, one of my missionaries got married! Daniel Howard got married to a super sweet girl named Amanda. They are adorable together. I am thankful to be a part of their lives!
So that is pretty much it for today.. I am still waiting to find out about a mission. August 3rd is one year from my divorce so I will know then hopefully. Yay for blogging!!
