northbound

life has been discouraging lately. i feel like devin and i are still scrambling, trying to figure it out. we keep making changes: our cars, our schooling, our jobs, our priorities, and it's obviously far from over, as i am on the job search once again!

i love the company i work for and have nothing but good things to say about them, but when it doesn't feel right, i know that means it's time for something else.

devin and i are looking to move further north anyway, to eliminate commuting, so there are several reasons for leaving Myler.

i'm excited to move, and it's all i can think about whenever i spill on our carpeted kitchen floor (which we can't stand!), or find, yet another spider in the tub, welcoming me to my morning shower.

we were both raised in Orem, and love it here, but it's beginning to feel a little claustrophobic. we want to be more private and independent, and we see that freedom just a few minutes up the freeway.

we still haven't found an apartment, but when we do, our first purchase will be a puppy. even though i know devin will try putting it off for awhile, he won't have much luck, seeing as how a dog is becoming less of a want and more of a need in my eyes lately. no news on jobs yet either. but we aren't in a situation yet where it's totally necessary to find something new. the point is to just be happier, and figure out what feels right, but knowing that the near future holds a fresh start for us, with more room to grow and progress, makes my days bearable. i just wish it would come sooner, of course.

we are ready for a change. we feel this need to grow up a little bit, and once again, like all the other major changes we've made in the last year or so, it feels right.

changed used to be something i shied away from, but now that i have my wonderful husband by my side to rely on, i welcome anything, knowing we can handle it together. because we totally can.

so excuse us for looking like we have no clue what we're doing lately - but that's because we're still trying to figure it out! we're just doing what we know it right, every time a circumstance changes. and we're okay with that.
