bustin it to bountiful !!!

I'm headed up to see Jon and Laurie tonight !!! I am super excited. (I stole this picture from Laurie's facebook :] )
Today has been a really good day. I was so out of it bored this morning. But then this kid that works here at Sensory Sweep came out here and made me laugh. So, my day is getting better.

Not much to say today. But I figured it's a good excuse to post my cutie brother and sister in law :) And I've been playing around with different applications for pictures. Here's me this morning waiting at a stoplight. I know, I'm so dumb, haha.

Still feeling kind of yuuucky :(

This weekend, after recovering from whatever horrid thing I had, I hung out with some girls from work. My first time going out in a while. Even though we just chilled at Rachel's. It was still way fun. Girl time is a must. That's for sure.

I went to my assigned ward yesterday. Midvale East 7th Ward. It is a YSA ward. It's the first time since my home ward I've felt what I did yesterday. It was just a nice "at home" feeling I guess. All friendly smiles and warm welcomes. It was fast and testimony meeting, so that made it even better. And for the first time in years, I reached the pulpit. My hands were literally shaking until I got up there. Incredible feeling, that's for sure.

Tomorrow I am going up to see Jon Jon and Laurie! I seriosuly have been looking forward to this all week and weekend! I would go more often, but my work schedule doesn't permitt it. Sad, I know...

But until tomorrow... yuuuck. I was here at work at 8, and work until midnight... I am working both jobs of course. I do not work Mondays, but my manager Pete desperately needed someone, so FOR HIM, I said I would. Pete treats us al so well and helps out. Not your typical manager, that's SO for sure.

I made Stephen a care package this weekend and sent it off Saturday. It was so good to get an uplifiting letter for him. He is such an amazing missionary, I just know it. I miss that fool :) !!!

Looks like I might just make it home for Thanksgiving after all. I just DO NOT want to pass up a chance for all 3 sibblings to be together. Just thinking about it puts an idiotic grin on my face. Plus to see all the family... Ooo I am just too estatic! I have a ways to wait...

I talked with Jack this morning. It was good to hear the happy tone in his voice. We are both coming a long way I believe. I miss my brothers so much.

This is me talking to Daddy before bed last night :)

four letter word for... wait, ryan what does quaff mean ?!

My morning started not so well until I got to work and checked my email. Jennifer (my sister in law) emailed me a sweet note and pictures of my girls!

This one cracks me up of Anna ! (:

My brother Jack and my namesake Kathryn

My Anna Belle and Bumble Bee Kit Kat

Ooo I miss my girls so much! I miss the whole family. Lately more than ever, my friends are asking me to come back, to please come back, things will be different. It makes me feel wanted and missed, but then it creates a big complicated mess. Now in my mind I'm toying with the idea of do I want to stay here or go back? I'm sure I'll be here in Utah for at least a long while... but the thought of going home lingers.

It's another 17 hour day today. I'm not looking forward to it, but then again... I am. Weird huh? I guess I just can't get over my jobs. I love them. And the people I work with at the diner are so amazing, it makes work so great. Sometimes I after my shift, (well into 3 or 4 a.m. sometimes) I like to just sit at the bar at the front of the diner and chat with them. We have a regular, Ryan, who is just an amazing middle aged man who comes in around 10 pm and stays until sometimes 5 in the morning. We all just talk and pick at each others' brains. I love it. It's intelligent conversation. Sometimes we will all try our hands at a crossword puzzle or word jumble. It's me, Pete (the amazing graveyard shift manager), James (the graveyard cook), Villa or Jes, Ryan, and Rachel (who just got moved to a management position to the diner on 72nd, so she comes in after work and unwinds).

The point of my rambling on is that I do love my jobs. I think they are a great building block for me, I just complain sometimes (a lot of the time) I guess because I just get exhausted and overwhelmed.

what day is it ?

Well, the warm summer nights of Utah are no longer upon us. It's gettin chilly already !!! I'm excited. Me and Nana always loved this time of year when it started to turn cold. Of course, back home, that doesn't usually happen until October.

I talked to Nick last night. I am so so so excited about my best friend coming in 19 days!

Nothing too exciting went on this weekend... I watched a lot of movies and caught up on sleep. Went to church. Paid bills. That's it. I know, my life is lame as of now. But, it's all work, so I guess it's ok.
