My Life in Logan


LOGAN!!!!!!
So here I am in Logan, UT and tomorrow I start working at Bed Bath and Beyond! Super excited to have a reason to leave my apartment other than dinner. However, being sick all week, I'm glad that I got to do virtually nothing but sleep! Quinn and I have been having fun cooking different dinners together like stirfry, southwest chicken, fried rice, and grilled cheese and soup! We also have been trying to watch Harry Potter 7 part 2 but its not working out. Lots of journaling and scripture reading! I finished 1Nephi last night and begin 2Nephi today! Super cool! Loving reading them and finally getting used to the language! And the biggest lesson I am learning is two fold: 1. Life is hard but it makes you strong, and 2. The Lord will take care of you. Well, we were going to eat cream of broccolli soup but the can expired five years ago. Oh Well, Chicken fried rice it is! hahahahah Oh food storage! That's what happens when no one likes cream of broccolli soup and you buy a whole case.
So, our showers are going to be super interesting. With Quinn's family, we're having a shower that's themed time of day and I hear were getting lots of food storage! and with my family, its going to be our traditional shower, mostly off the registry the day after my bachelorette party in chicago! I'm super excited for both. And we have started on the decorations and the centerpieces. Married Life is coming, and I'm getting ready!

Well, I did it! I moved out to the land of mountains, mormons, and mollies. I can't believe I'm here. For the record, I said I would never move to Mormon Mecca, but frankly, a boy changes all that! I'm living out here in Logan preparing to marry a wonderful man named Quinn Thomson! I have a beautiful dress, ring, and preparing decorations! Oh I am excited for my willow arch!I'm thoroughly excited to have an apartment, just Quinn and I. Where we can sit on the couch and he can do homework and I can read my scriptures, journal, or crochet. To just be us, no roommates, sounds glorious. So, I interviewed for a position as a manager for a scout shop here in Logan, and I just got a job working nights at Bed Bath and Beyond! :) I'm very excited to get things up and running here in Logan and to get a routine. My roommates are super super nice! I actually really don't mind our apartment. We have a TV to watch movies on, our church bench couch is actually comfortable, and I love Kelsey, my actual roommate! She is super sweet! Our room is small but I dont really need much more for now. I'm going to take some stuff back to blackfoot though this weekend, and I definitely NEED hangers! Donations anyone????
So tomorrow I have a second scout shop interview and on Friday I go to Bed Bath and Beyond to set up my schedule and hours!!!! :) and I found a Elk reserve that I can volunteer at teaching school groups about Elk and feeding them. Overall, things are moving right along here in Logan. I even made a Pinewood Derby Mosquito Batmobile last night at FHE and we're going to have an "over the weight limit" race next week at FHE :) So if you want to come to the wedding out here let me know and I'll get you an invitation, but there will be an open house and a reception in Chicago in August! See you all soon!
