Well, it seems that my blog somehow had it's background deleted so this is the new change.
I know, I know. It's grayish, darkish. Almost depressing.
{Shrug}
I liked this background but didn't realize how dark it was when I chose it. Howeverrr I also have changed my background now about 3 times, and with the way blogger is set up it's taken a while.
So! It's stayin for now til I find something bettah.
I had my Lauritzen family reunion last week - what a blast! You guys (since most who read my blog were involved) are so much fun, and I had a great time getting to know everyone.
and NICKELL & TERE thanks for planning such a fantastic weekend for us!
Despite looking around my house before I left for Colorado, I could not find my camera anywhere. Thus, no pictures. But rest assured my family is a fine looking bunch with the cutest kids on this good earth, if I may say so.
I GOT A JOB!
I now work for the fine establishment of Funfinity, here in Springville. I am the "book expert" and it is therefore my responsibility to make a good book selling environment and to know all about children's books, teens books, some adult books, cookbooks, and the like.
(By the way, if any of you have suggestions for MUST read books...especially in the children's books department...let me know! I'd love to hear input!)
Anyway I love my job so far. I've worked one week but I'm busy all the time, always on my feet, and work with some of the most fun and thoughtful people I know. They are great and really nice to me
(even when I accidentally knock over a whole shelf of toys and mess up customer check outs)
Life seems to be smooth sailing at the moment, I'm enjoying my summer, thrilled to be working now, enjoying my ward and looking forward to whatever comes next.
Nothing left to say, but since my cousin Kelsey (Grierson) and I have spent the last two weeks watching the Lord of the Rings movies, I think I'll end with one of my fav quotes, said by good ol' Samwise Gamgee.
(I wish I could put the music with it, ha ha, but I guess you'll just have to imagine.)
"And sometimes you don't want to know the ending,because how could the end be happy?
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?
But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come, and when the sun shines
it will shine out the clearer."
