So instead of blabbing on about what’s up, I’ll show you!

It’s been super rainy lately. Like one second, it’s perfectly nice, then BOOM flash flood for thirty minutes, then back to normal. So working at a waterpark/campground has been fun during that time. Pools are closed, then open, then closed, campers are wet and upset that I can’t control the weather. It’s great fun, let me tell ya! But really. I love my job. I love helping people and I love the people I work with and I love talking to customers and hearing their life stories. It’s great.

The 4th of July was perfect! Well, almost. I spent the past two 4th of July’s with Randy. So that was hard. But anywho…

Kaysville is such a great place to live. Knock it all you want, (cough cough, Kurtis…) but I love it. I think being in Kaysville on the 4th of July really makes me love it that much more.

Let’s start with how my day went. I had to work this morning, so I got in my car and drove down Main Street just as all the 5k runners were coming. It was so great to see people I know, and people I don’t know, running down the street. Some were holding their kids hands, and others were incredibly focused on making it to the end. I got a little choked up driving past it all. Pathetic, I know. But still.

Then I had a grand time at work with Natalie and Alyse, who are hilarious, and that flew by. Then it was back home for some of this….

Happy Birthday America!!

I love  the 4th of July. It’s hot. There’s candy. There’s fireworks. It’s the best!

I also love the 4th of July because I am so happy to live where I do. America is the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Every day I hope I live up to that. I hope that I am making America proud. And I think on days like today, those who went before are proud of America, and what we’re doing to keep making it the great nation that it is. A blessed nation.

Let’s just say, it’s been a weird week. The past seven days have been a whirl of crazy stuff going on, all at the same time. And I really didn’t think I could handle it all happening at once. So this is the last day of me being upset about all of it. So look forward to less-sappy, more happy blog posts in the near future!

For now, here’s your last sappy blog post for a while:)

Oooh Monday. Oooooh July.

 For some reason, my emotions are heightened lately. I feel everything more, if that makes sense.

Which means that what you said cut more than it normally would.

Which means missing you hurts more than it normally would.

Which means my temper flares more than it normally would.

Which means I feel the lack of feelings more than I normally would.

And more than I normally would, I like being alone.

There’s this rush of peace in knowing I can be perfectly content by myself. I’m not good at being by myself. I don’t like the fact that I’m getting used to it. I wish I didn’t find solace in being alone. But I do.

More than I normally would.

But I think I know what it is. It’s growing pains. Not in the normal sense, but in the figurative sense. I’m sure, now more than ever, of the direction I need to go. Of the person I need to try to be. And that takes a lot of time, energy, and feeling. It also takes lots of alone.

So please ignore the sappiness of this post. I wouldn’t even post it, but something is nudging me to. Maybe one person who reads this will know the feeling. And relate. And if the other people who read it think I’m crazy, but one person needed it, it’s worth it. Even if that person who needed it was just me.

And if this post is too much for you, never fear. I’m sure by tomorrow I’ll be back to normal:)

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s 100 degrees today. Just let that sink in. It’s 100 degrees today.

Summer. Perfection. Some say “Oh that’s too hot.” And yes, it is too hot. But it’s perfect. I couldn’t put my hands on the steering wheel because it was burning. I work at a waterpark, and it was packed (more on that later…)

So that’s one good thing about today.

So today has also been not so fun. Getting yelled at by angry campers is not ideal. So that’s the downside of working at a campground/waterpark.

Anyway. I haven’t been blogging because I’m a slacker. So here’s a few things worth saying about what’s been up lately.
