Things are starting to look better on the school side. I finally got my acceptance letter from USU. That means I was able to hand in that scholarship application on time!!! But once I went to register I hit road bump after road bump. I kept emailing my advisor on who to email for what etc.. etc.. umm.. hold the phone....
Ok that was weird that was this random boom that came from outside and I have no idea what it was.
But anyway, my advisor has been really helpful and I've been able to get a lot of things done for school. But I still have to wait for my transcripts to be put into action so I can register. I keep getting a prerequisite error.
On a plus side, Sky got a job in Nephi. It is a backup job for now so I'm not sure how much he will actually be working. But he has another job interview tomorrow at a grocery store. I'll let you know more about Skys job when I know more. But we think Chris might have a job at a mine soon. So yay jobs mean more home improvements!! Home improvements mean a new door that isn't half way invisible!!

Books
I don't know if any of you have ever felt like a Disney Princess or not but the past little bit I have felt like one in particular. Can anyone guess who it might be??? Well I kinda feel Like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Probably because 1. It is one of my favorite movies ever. 2. I've been reading A LOT!!!! 3. I'm kind of wanting more out of life. I think that Belle felt stuck where she was and nothing was moving forward in life. Hmm... Well I feel kind of stuck since we moved and nothing has been going forward. Maybe that is why I've been reading so much.
Anyway as of now I have read approximately 3,091 pages since the beginning of June and the number will surely increase drastically over the next few weeks. I am on my 5th book. So every book as roughly around 700 pages. The first book I read was The Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind. That book had 820 pages. Next was The Stone of Tears also by Terry Goodkind, having 979 pages. After finishing these two I wanted to continue reading the 12 or so book series but I would have to probably buy all the book and we have no money for that and some of the content in the books were kinda iffy. But I really loved the magic and fantasy about it so after talking with Tyler he has loaned me a good 10 books. I have now read two of them by the Author Brandon Sanderson, who is LDS and an very good fantasy author. The books I've read are Elantris consisting of 615 pages and Misborn which has 643 pages. I'm now 34 pages in continuing the Misborn trilogy with The Well of Ascension. The Well of Ascension has 763 pages. The next and final book in that trilogy is The Hero of Ages and that book has 724 pages. So once I finish this trilogy I will have read over 4500 pages all within one summer vacation. Yay for me!!!
If any of you out there has some really good books let me know. But I will tell you that I still have 8 more books from Tyler that I need to read first. But knowing me and how much I have been reading I will have them read fairly soon. I wonder how many pages I will have read before school starts??

Almost ready
I am finally feeling a little bit better about school coming up fast. I went and talked to the advisor for this area and I feel alot better. I still haven't gotten my acceptance letter yet and I don't know when that is going to come. But it better hurry fast because I need it in order to figure everything else out. But at least I know how to register, figure out books, this and that and basically what to expect. Also I was given a scholarship application. They have about $4o,000 for the South west region. So I think that I'm bound to get something if they give each person anywhere from 500-1000 bucks. At least it would pay for books. But I still feel worried because I don't have everything ready. But slowly but surely I'm going to be ready.
Job hunting isn't going the best. There are some jobs that seem interesting but I feel unqualified for them, but these jobs would give me experience in the psychology job field, but I'm totally unqualified but....... Other than that its just getting my butt in gear and going and putting in an application for the butt wiping crew. OH JOY!! ( I hope you can see my sarcasm) It would be a job. And anything is better than what we have now. I just hate feeling this stressed and overwhelmed. I still feel that I hate life even though I'm getting over it slowly. I just want something to happen. A job, school, something!!!! I hate feeling like your life is on hold and that all you do is waste your life away with nothing. That your going nowhere. I'm sure you know what I'm feeling.

Back to Reality
I am feeling quite overwhelmed recently, do you think it could be that my entire life has changed? I'm thinking yes. But at least I have had a nice break from everything. As you already know we moved down here June 30th. Well we spent maybe about a day and a half here getting some things ready. I got our bedroom ready so we don't have boxes to look through when trying to find something to wear and Skyeler got his Mustang ready to work on. Then Friday the 2nd we packed up for a good while and left for Blanding. We decided that since we hadn't been down there in 6 or so months it was about time for a visit and so we spent the 4th of July there. That Saturday we watched the parade, and afterwards we went on a Hike where my poor neck got so burnt that to this day over a week later I still have it and it still hurts at times. Oh and it is peeling like no other still. But long story short it was fun staying there.
On Wednesday we left Blanding and drove 5 hrs straight to Bountiful where we would spend Thursday till Saturday camping with Dad and Kandie for the Knight reunion. Let me tell you even with some rain and thunderstorms I had a blast and was very glad that we were able to make it. But needless to say our vacation thing didn't last long enough. We left today to come back down to Richfield to finally start looking for jobs and start settling in. I hope things go well. I'm ready to start work so I can get my mind preoccupied with other things.
I think I am almost ready for school. I have both my transcripts from Weber and UVU sent in along with an application and financial aid. I am going to meet with someone hopefully soon about what to expect from attending a distant education center. I just hope that I can get things all ready and feel comfortable about things for when school starts. I hate feeling lost and unsure about important things. Yay, I have an appointment for next Tuesday to meet with my academic advisor. I guess I should be happy that stuff for school is going somewhat smoothly and that I can still go to school and not drive 2 hrs to get there!!
So now today we are going on a job hunt, and going to try to clean up and organize all of our boxes. We almost have our room ready. But we still have things all over the place and it's driving me nuts. Good thing that it will keep me occupied for a good week or so. Well until we get new carpet and work on the various rooms some more and have to move out our stuff and put it back in.

No more Orem :(
Today was our official move day. I guess technically yesterday since again I am writing after midnight and it will show up on the next day! We finished up all our cleaning in the apartment, got the rest of all our belongings, and shoved them in the car(s). I had been having a bad couple of days just because I didn't wan this day to come and now that it has come and gone I still kind of feel empty. Right before we left Skyeler wanted a last kiss in that apartment and before the kiss even came I was bawling my eyes out. I was quite emotional! So I had Skyeler give back the keys and I just sat in the Saturn. Trying to clean up my face and get control over myself.
On our way to Richfield we decided that we were going to experiment on which way is faster to take in order to get to Richfield from Nephi. Skyeler went through Scipio and I went through Gunnison. We could go only 5 over the speed limit at any given time and we would just see who got in the driveway at his dads house first. Well I will say if I didn't get stuck behind a slow person for a couple min I think we would have had a tie. Skyeler had pulled up in the driveway first and walked to the back and by the time he turned around only 1 min later from pulling up I pulled up. So really it doesn't matter what way you go your going to get there in the exact same time unless there is construction or anything causing problems.
So we are now in Richfield and we have a long way to go before we can make it organized and more homey. There are boxes everywhere and it probably won't help that we will be out of town for a week or so. I hope I can get myself into a schedule soon and have things organized around here!!! Wish me luck.
