It is always good advice to avoid certain things when you are upset: driving, taking a test, sending that angry letter, blogging. Nevertheless, here we go:
Nate and I moved last weekend to Draper, UT. I am still very conflicted about this move. Our town house is great, we will have a better income, we are closer to our families who we love, I get to go back to BYU which I have always wanted to do, and in general things will be great here. Maybe it's just that Nate is now working from dusk until dawn, and I am stuck home without a car or tv or internet (currently "borrowing"-- thanks, new neighbors!), unpacking, and there is no where near us to let Bowie run off leash and he is freaking out so he is more high maintenance than usual, but I am going a little crazy. I feel myself getting mopey and panicked. Even now as I write this I keep zoning out for minutes at a time. I find myself missing my friends and not feeling particularly moved to make new ones, picking out all the bad things about Draper and none of the good, and generally being sour about the state of things. It is a slippery slope and I am wearing the proverbial no-traction flip-flops (really I'm wearing my chaco's which always make me feel better, but that is not as dramatic since they have great traction--wow, the babbling).
So why am I blogging about this, you may ask? If I throw all this out there to the blogosphere, I feel like it will give me a higher level of accountability when I tell you all that I am committing to be more chipper. I could just say it out loud, but Bowie doesn't care (not that you do). I'm going to go work on that goal. Pictures of the new place to follow shortly!
