Fresh starts

Well folks, I'm back! And I am super excited to be here.
I flew home from Alaska on Thursday and it broke my heart a little. The girls asked me not to leave, and Amy and I both cried. :( The drive to Anchorage and the flight were good. One of my very very best friends picked me up at the airport.
Friday was fairly uneventful. The boy flew up so he could drive down with me, and it was so exciting to see him again. Two months apart was a long time.
The drive down was long, to say the least. Montana was the longest state ever going 35 intermittently most of the way through. We left just after 6am from home and didn't get into my grandparent's house till 10:30. After almost running out of gas, and driving through traffic and a thunderstorm, We were exhausted.  Grandma Marie was waiting for us and was wonderful, as usual. Sunday morning we woke up early and went to church with James and Mandy, where we locked the keys in the car (and learned about my brother's mad B&E skills). Seeing the girls was so great! They are adorable (pictures to come). We saw my bf from high school, a couple from the mission, and a girl I taught on the mission. (I LOVE THE GIRL WE VISITED, she just made me super happy!)
The drive from Rexburg to Preston Idaho, where the boy's camp was was... not what I expected. Not at all... and really, that's all I've got to say about that for now.
I spent the night up at camp, where people were so nice to me. Girls told me how pretty I was, and bent over backwards to help me (I found out later that one of the girls in my new complex was one of the girls I met up there...) As camp started to wind down the boy and I went out to the campfire ring and we watched the meteor shower that has been going on. I didn't know there were so many stars in the sky! It was gorgeous.
I woke up early and had breakfast, chilled for a minute, then left for Provo. It was the saddest goodbye. I'm just not sure how final it was.
I made really good time to Provo, but by the time I got here, I was done. I was sick of being in the car, and really needed a shower, and emotionally... a mess. Enter Jessica, one of my old roommates who literally saved me Monday. She let me shower in her house, took me to lunch at the cannon center, then offered to let me stay the night when I didn't get off of work as early as I thought I would. She took such good care of me, and I am so thankful.
I started my new job on Monday. It was really good, I wish I hadn't been as tired as I was though. I work today too, and I'm more excited for that.
Then Yesterday, I moved into my apartment, and I feel really good about it. I got a load of stuff from storage, which I am slowly, but surely, sorting through. I went grocery shopping for the first time, and I went to dinner with a whole big group of people from the ward. Everyone was super nice! A couple of guys helped me carry some of my stuff up (luckily, we're on the 2nd not the 3rd floor, right at the top of the stairs). All in all, life is pretty good. I LOVE my apartment, and I'm excited for this fresh start, with a few friends to start out with :) Now I've got to go get ready for my second day of work, then Hanging out with Suzy!!!!!!!!!
