I've realized that my blog has just become a place to post pictures.... which is what it is made for essentially I guess, but I don't really write anything anymore. Maybe its because I've been keeping emotions locked up, or that I don't want to post feelings on the internet for everyone to see :). But writing is therapeutic so maybe I should do it more often. Not that there's really anything wrong with my life at the moment, but I need to maybe express myself more.
The past year I've had a hard time with Cedar City. My whole family lives in Vegas plus some good friends, and I've just felt so... away. All of our really close couple friends have since moved away, and I realized I'm one of those people that needs friends, especially girl friends. These past couple of months, I decided to change my attitude. I got more involved in my ward, I got called to young womens, and I play in a Bunko group once a month. I now associate myself with our neighbors, and now I am coming to like Cedar more and more. I still don't feel like we have a couple friend we just automatically call and hang out with when we are bored, you know the type. Well, our friends the Cottam's have been that lately but they are moving next Monday. Another friend gone :(. But I feel like I do have girl friends in my neighborhood and in the ward. So that really has been nice.
Also, Nick has been working part time all year for SUU so while its been SO nice having him around more, its been taxing financially. That's been a constant stress. But we hope to change that by the end of this week :). There's a rumor he might be promoted... but i can't give you official news yet. There's also been some in-law drama that's left me a little depressed, but I get to see my whole family this weekend at a reunion and I am more than excited about that. Its rare to see my family outside of Las Vegas and I'm looking forward to it.
Anyways, that was longer than I intended :). I had to get a lot off my chest apparently ha ha. It's true what they say.... writing is therapeutic.

Yay for new blog posts! I'm glad you're happy in Cedar--I still wish that you guys would move down here, but if you have to stay up there then I'm glad you're happy! Keep the posts up!
I always feel better about when I blog about things like that. I am glad you are liking it better! I felt a similar way when we moved across town. Once I dove into things it got better!
Good to hear from you Kelli! Your little family is more and more beautiful.
Hey, I feel the exact same way!! I feel like I have friends in cedar but none I could call up if I needed a good cry, which sucks!! I would love to be able to blog my feelings and frustrations, but all my in-laws will see it and that is sometimes most of my stress!! Just to let you know, I'm here if you need a friend!!
Hey Kelli,
Sorry I have been such a louzy friend! Life as you know is crazy! You have a beautiful family and I cannot believe how big Ethan is. He is super cute and Alyvia is precious and I hope I can meet her soon!
I am glad you are meeting new friends. Call me anytime you need to talk. :) Hope to see you soon.
