DECEMBER

Yes, I realize this is a post about the month of December and we are still in the month of November, but it is all I can think about. That 12th month of the year is going to be an extreme amount of changed, packed into a small amount of time. It will be my last month spent in California until I move to Utah. I have lived in my parents house, in this exact room I am in at this moment for the last 20 years. It wont just be moving out from under my parents roof and on my own, but more like moving out from under my parents roof and on my own into a completely different state! I am more excited than scared, but still a little bit scared. I will be leaving my current job which I love, to trying and finding a job in Utah, hopefully with some good luck. I have bills to pay and now an additional rent.

Now for the biggest change of all. Giving away my dog who holds a huge chunk of my heart. I try not to think about it as much as possible because I seem to burst into tears like a little girl at the thought of it.

So like I have stated, December is on my mind. It holds more change than I know. I will need to learn to cook, to clean more often, to be more independent, to drive and live in snow and so much more. When I pack up my room I am sure I will realize how much of my sisters clothes I really take haha, gone are the days of borrowing her new items. It will be like spring cleaning, but winter cleaning. I will be throwing out all the things I have slowly collected throughout my life since they can't just continue to sit there. My mother is turning my room into her new office as soon as I leave. She couldn't wait to get me out could she? haha

Let's take a step back to our current month of November. This past weekend I made a trip to my future home! I really do love Utah, maybe because I don't live there yet. I will have to update my feelings on the place once I do. I love that there are so many people around my age, and so many new friends to make. I love that I love that everyone has the same religious beliefs and that it seems everyone there has ambition to make something of themselves in life. I have so much fun every time I visit and I know that me and Kelli will get along great living together. That's all for now, until next time!
