Life has changed drastically in the last three weeks. I still don't have a premenant arrangment for a car to drive since my accident; walking still presents discomfort so where I was working out at least three times a week...I haven't so much as gone on a liesure walk for the past three weeks!; New bishopric, new ward with boundary changes; Relief society presidency calling (making two ward callings and one institute calling)
I am just plain tired!
Work has been keeping me so busy! The work is never done. School's kinda boring and daunting right now. It's hard to make kyself go to lectures. I've been so bad lately! For some reason my rationale hasn't been working so well this month. Maybe it got knocked out of my head when I hit that car...
Money stresses me out! and I don't want to talk about it!
I don't think he's interested...either that or he's a really dense. Maybe both! |

A funny thing happened on Sunday. In Relief Society we have a spotlight of sorts each week. This week a girl named Joni got up to introduce herself. Suddenly I found myself looking at a picture of her and an emu named george. She had a grape in her mouth. "wait," i thought. "That sounds familiar..."
And did I mention that a Kathryn Elsberry is my RS president?
Just thought it might interest a certain emporer.
Gotta go! |

It was the cutest thing ever. Last night during the fireworks my little niece was so excited. As soon as the fireworks started she'd yell "ohh! magic! Mickey did it!" She was intriduced to the magic of disney this year. Now, fireworks are magic. I like to think of them that way too! Yea for our country! |

My nieces left to go to EFY today. All in favor of having an EFYA raise your hand! That would be fab!
Sunday was an enlightening and encouraging day. We had the best linger longer I've ever been to so I had plenty of opportunities to talk to new people. I finally have home teachers and they came to see me as well. Church was exactly what I needed to hear. I finally, after a month, updated my journal (my real paper journal), and then to finish off a great day, I received a much needed priesthood bleesing from my bro-in-law. I think it was the first non-dad blessig I've ever gotten. Isn't the priesthood awesome! |

Cute boy I was hoping would ask me out didn't even say anything to me at church yesterday. Sad! I think he's scared. I'm going to have to do something about this...and soon!
Stay away from insurance claims departments! Even more, stay away from the stupid voice automated systems. They're evil.
A matter has been pressing heavily on my mind lately. It seems I am not good at making life-altering decisions. Once and for all (but probably not) Where should I live? Does anyone have any words of wisdom on how I might come to this conclusion?
Is SF on for the fourth of July? i still doubt I could afford to go, but I am curious to know if there's a plan. I'm also wondering if anyone might want to get a 2-3 day six-flags/newport beach temple openhouse trip together. I think that would be more budget willing for me, and sounds fun.
Also, if anyone ever wants to come down here and go hiking or down to mexico, etc, just let me know! I'm sure my sister wouldn't mind anyone crashing on her floor, and I'd love to hang with ya'll! |

It's the weekend again? already?! Wow, cool.
I watched ladder 49 last night. That was an awesome movie, although, I'm more then slightly miffed at the ending. It's a wonder I wasn't up all night thinking (and worrying) about it. I really really loved star wars III! I seriously think that they need a between trilogy 1 and trilogy 2 movie. That's like a 17 year gap! Oh and I found one um episode-not-meshing-with-the-old-movies thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't Leah mention that she has vague memories of her mother from her childhood? How can this be? I think I need to call George and ask him to explain. Next movie on my list: Hitch...still.
Have an exciting and event filled weekend my friends! I'll be in town a week from next wednesday or thursday (until saturday) Loves! |

my co-worker is trying to set me up with our computer guy's son, who is actually quite cute, computer and piano wiz, returned missionary, and bishop's son...i think i could go for that. Although, I am totally diggin this meeting new guys thing. A couple livejournalers will appreciate that fact that I met a Tristan, who is tall, built and charming. Sound familiar? I could go for him too! Actually of the twenty or so guys that I met on Monday, he was the winner. I was sooo close to getting his phone number too. but I waited too long...doh! guess I'll be hanging out with the kids again this weekend.
Last night I dremt I was on a mission. It felt so wrong, even in a dream. Weird huh? |

About two hours ago a ginormous giant came and picked up our apartment and shook it really hard! Or maybe we all just started packing to move. Its a pit!
I am so perplexed as to how Mia is going to hold all of this stuff! Where did it all come from?!
Cutting ties is hard...saying goodbye is almost unbearable. The friendships I've made in 8 short months feels like years and years worth. This is a sad week.
Not only sad, but stressful! I think secretly my coworkers got together with the rest of Provo and decided to make Cari's last week in Provo the worst one! It's only wednesday and I've already put in 8 more hours of work then I thought I'd be working! Plus! It decided to snow and rain this week. Bleh! So here I am driving for hours and hours each day, raining, slushing, snowing, frezzing my buns off cause I already packed all my winter stuff, and what do I see yesterday? (or maybe it was Monday, all the days are blending together) I see a roll over accident, and not just any roll over accident, but a "roll over and over and then right off the edge of the raised freeway accident." It was alarming, unerving, shocking, and incredibly disturbing. All I could do was call to report it. I don't even know what happened to those people. But someone had a much worse week then me I'm sure.
Counting down the hours until I get to play in Vegas! Dreading the hour when I have to say goodbye to my best friends... |

Ever since my trip home last week I don't feel like I'm living real life. I've got less then two weeks until I move. It's surreal. It's like another vacation...except I still live here, and still have to go through tthe whole moving process. When I get home I think it will fell weird to be there. Shortly after ( two or three weeks ) I'll move down to tucson, and things will be brand new again. Who knows where I'll go in the fall? Back to provo? Up to Rexburg? Back to Tempe?
Can you tell I'm feeling a little uprooted at the moment? I'm like a wanderer or something. I move once in my life and all of a sudden in one year I move like 14 times! Or at least it feels that way. |

Having a hard time telling some people some important stuff. Like...surprise! I'm moving in 23 days! Did you need more time to know then that? Hope not!
Remember Cari, you're doing this for you...not all those other people or things you think you're responsible for. So just tell them already.
I'm a chicken with a capital C.
So surprise everyone! I'm moving again. The end of april/beginning of May I'll be in Tempe for about two weeks, and then I'll make the rest of the trip down to Tucson. Don't I choose the most exciting places to live?! I know.
So basically I'm uprooting...again...and then in the fall, I'll do it again. Not that I even know where I'll go in the fall...Ahhh the mysteries of life.
I'll be with my cookie for the summer though, that's encouraging. |

This was a happy holiday!
Nothing especially exciting happened during the day. Just a nice, usual sunday with my roomates. But then...
...My roomate came home engaged!! Yea! I am so excited and happy for her and happy for her guy too. She's an awesome girl and I am so greatful I've gotten to live with and get to know her. AND I'm way Excited to have another wedding to plan! **big fat grin!**
Then, my sister called and lo and behold: Niece/nephew number 23 was born tonight! Congratulate me!
Oh happy day!!! |

Do you ever have days like this? Today was a complete rollercoaster of emotion! I had a hard time feeling any one emotion for more then a minute. Didn't know how to feel about certain situations, coupled with all the stuff I'm wonering about anyway. Sheish! Wow...glad that's over (meaning the day)
Me and my friends rented the dark crystal. It's a much better movie when you're ten. Weird! Weird movie.
I sang at the ward talent show last night. I got a "is she single?!" at the end...but I didn't catch who said it. Doh! And this morning my roomate told me how her boyfriend had leaned over while I was singing and commented on how pretty I looked. Woe! Is that ok?! Talk about the most flattered I've been in weeks! Too bad it was taken from an almost engaged guy...I can never win...sigh
It's official! I'm going to run in Salt Lake's marathon and 5k. Don't freak out now...I'm only registered for the 5k part. But! I'm thinking I might just make it a goal for myself to come back next april and do the marathon part. I've been inspired!
Gotta go! Time for the next movie! |

"Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?" Name that Movie! Although it came out a while ago and didn't sound like it would be a very good movie. I just saw it and fell right in love with it. A fantastical story of a girl seeking out her father and finding him as well as herself!! What a girl wants. Girly, I know, but hey, I'm a girl aren't I?!
I'm trying to find myself again...about like I was last summer. It seems it's a constant learning process. The question now is:...well, there are a few. And all too complicated to go into tonight...
I'm a little discouraged. My mind is bogged down with possibilities of the future, and "what ifs" and "oh nos". Most of this week I've been too busy to be really stressed by it. But every moment a down time presents itself I find myself lost in thought and confusion over and over again.
..and my contacts are hurting me... |

My apartment is so cold. I'm freezing my little buns off! Pining for warmer, springyer/summery weather. <--how's that for correct english?
So my birth"day" ended up being my birth"week". Yea! It was the best. It lasted like 5 days! Thanks to all those who remembered! My parents were in town from thursday to Sunday, so I got to go up to Kaysville (1.5 hrs from here) twice to see them. And they came for breakfast on Sunday. Plus! My good friends Summer and Krysta flew in on Saturday afternoon and spent until Tuesday night playing with me. It was way fun. I got to show them around Provo, and watch movies and TALK ALL THE TIME, and go shopping, and spent an afternoon in Salt Lake. So, even though I didn't have the pleasure of having a spring break it felt like I did! Good times.
My new endeavor is to run a 5K in Salt Lake on April 23rd. I can't even swing a mile at this point, but I have time. As much as I have never liked running very much, I am way totally excited for this. Mostly because of how I felt after the last 5k, healthy and so accomplished.
No BYU...
"What will you do now?" you ask? Well, I have a couple ideas in the works.

Wow...i should never take breaks from this thing...
I've missed so much!
To update:
Life on the wasatch front is good. really good. It's been a long time, I think, that I have been almost fully content with just about every aspect of my life. Everything, minus a few pressing matters squishing my brain now and then, everything is right where I think it should be. The goals I'm working on are going beautifully, I live in a great place surrounded by tons of people who feel the way I do about most social issues in the world today, I love the weather, I love my roomates. I have no boy...no interests even, and am totally ok with that! Yea... did you hear that? I'm not dating, I'm not married, I'm not a mother, and I'm totally content. (granted, this is not an emotion I feel often concerning those matters..and..when I do feel it, it doesn't last long. But for now, it's ok.) I get to see my mom and dad next week, and in the same weekend will have two of my dearest friends of all time fly here to stay with me for a few days. Friends are fun. Life is good.
I'm waiting to hear about BYU...and one part of my head says "Cari, your GPA is no where near competitive enough, you'll never get in." and then another part whispers, "There's hope, GPA is not the only factor." and then I have moments of utter and ghastly fear that say, "oh no...you're going to be back where you were a year ago...what will you do with yourself?!" and then moments of peace that tell me, "if you don't get in, you can either keep trying, or you can do something new, maybe even something more exciting and adventerous. Either way it'll be ok." The spirit is a tremendous support in my life.
Taxes suck!
I'm so sorry I've been so distant. I have this great way to keep in touch with my friends...and I abuse it like crazy! I'll try harder.
I miss you all, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear from any of you! |

I'm back to the LJ world.
So, now that I have a new computer, I am much more apt to do my online course work, much more likely to be sitting at the computer at various times during the day, instead of dreading turning the darn thing on! I'm able to write in my LJ. I am able to open more then one box at a time without getting the blue error screen of death! I am able to watch homestar again! yea! I am able to get on msn messenger. Able to do school work more productivley and more efficiently. Able to have sound!
Thank you mom and dad!
So hopefully I'll be able to keep better tabs on what's going on at home...and if anything exciting happens to me, I'll let ya know. |
