Ok Maren, though I really think that it would be better and funnier to read you blogging for me, I will give it a little try and see where it gets me. If I can get into the swing of it, I will do it. If I can't get into it and "see the vision that is blogging", I won't.
I refused to blog. It is true. Vehemently refused to blog. And now, since I am being forced (I love you, Maren), I will try. I still don't see the point for an unmarried non-mother to blog, but I will try.
I thought I would start with talking about my new apartment. I will try to post pictures soon. I haven't actually gotten into it yet, I get in on Friday (4 days from now). I am super excited because it will be my own place and because I will be independent again. Not that I don't love my Momma and sister, it's just that it is hard to have an entire houseful of stuff and put it all in storage. Plus, it's hard to go from living on your own for several years and move home with an indefinite move-out date. But, I think, all things considered, the last 6 months have gone well. Like I said, I love living at home, but I'm almost 26 years old and the divorce should be final sometime VERY soon. SO, that means I need to get my feet under me again. It's a bit terrifying, this idea of paying all the bills again, but I'm optimistic.
The new place is an 1100 sq. ft. townhome here in Idaho Falls with 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. It's a little banged up from previous tenants, but with a little TLC before the move-in, it should be great. It has a small (not private) backyard out the back so my babies, Trooper and Lucky, can play on their leashes. So, it should work ok. Like I said, I haven't gotten into it yet, and therefor don't have pictures, but I will post them as soon as I can.
I am also excited for the single's ward over there. I can't go until the divorce has been finalized, I've received the paperwork and the bishop here (in my home ward) helps me get the Temple Divorce paperwork going. But, as soon as I can, I will go over there. I'm really pumped for that. Though I will miss my ward family here, and my best friend, I can feel the single's ward is where I need to be.
Anyhoo, I've now posted something for myself. I can't see how this is supposed to be for posterity. It's too public to pour my heart into it, like a journal would be. I think a journal is what the prophet was talking about, but at least I know I can print this and save it for later, should it turn into something worth doing that. We'll see. Maybe I will surprise myself...
