Catch up

So I haven't posted in ages, but I am alive and I've done some cool things this summer:

Planned the Opening Ceremonies of the Utah Summer Games.

Worked a lot. 

Made new friends.

Saw A LOT of the Utah Shakespeare Festival.

Expanded my horizons.

Worked at a private event in SLC where some well known artists performed.

Got a new job. I am the new Event Assistant in the Alumni House at Southern Utah University. I have some big shoes to fill.

It's been pretty great.

Here's what I wore today to my friend's homecoming: 

Blouse: Forever 21 Skirt: Banana Republic Shoes: Payless (win!) Bag: H&M Jewelry: Forever 21/Spain

Mildly obsessed with Les Misérables. And cheesing for the iPhone.

Such a great friend. So glad I keep her around.
 

Not much else to say.

Positivity.

I totally have a Southern Utah accent. hahaha!

Ending

As I laid out on the lawn in MY backyard last night star gazing, I thought a lot about this summer. It is sadly coming to an end. I love summer so much. Each summer I learn so much about myself and those around me. I am so grateful for the people that I surround myself with. It's such a blessing to have uplifting people in MY life.

Sure, I make mistakes. Lots actually. BUT I'm learning how to come back from these mistakes. I'm learning how to patch them up and move on. I'm very lucky to have loved ones that deal with MY shortcomings.

School begins again soon and I'm not welcoming it with the attitude I should. I need to have more gratitude that I GET to go to school. It's a privilege that many don't have. I will be very busy dealing with MY hectic schedule, but no good comes from idleness, so I guess I'm lucky to be busy.

I've chosen to be the live in nanny for a family I love dearly. They are a huge gift to me and bless me so much. It's a miracle to have been able to watch these kids grow and watch their personalities bloom. I hope and pray that the experiences I have had and will have with these kids will make me a better person and one day a better mother. I sure hope that they will give me lots of funny moments to blog about.

Anyway, I'm so lucky to be at this point in MY life where I can do anything and be anyone I want. I look forward to this year (minus the snow) and the lessons that will come each day.

Christ lives.

God knows all.

Pray often.

xox,

Miss Jones

Oops

So, sometimes I get bugged when no one blogs. Guess what? I never blog. So, ooooops and sorry for the double standard.

Here I sit, a month and half into the summer with not a whole lot to show for it.

I've been working. Joy.

I've been tending. Yay!

I've been reading. Lots.

BUT, I feel like I need to do something for the summer that is fun and creative. So, I am going to try and begin to do new activities and write about them. The first was started tonight.

Well, Mariah and I decided we were bored and decided to go purchase those "Pops" fireworks and throw them at stuff. So we did just that. I enjoyed it. Probably too much. We threw them at signs and at the road, but mostly we cruised and sang to the music on MY iPod. Sometimes I forget how much I love cruising with MY best friend with no destination in mind.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Sorry it wasn't too exciting.
