Sublime St. George

I regret to report that I have just returned home from St. George with a few of my mission friends (Nick White, Chris Bennion, and Brooks Hartman) today. I went down over the weekend with a couple of my friends that I met while I was in Hungary. It was a ball and the weather couldn't have been better. I want to move there and am done with wintery weather I have decided. Other than skiing I could do without the cold.

I had so much fun visiting with so many of the friends from the mish. The trip started out the night before in Provo at the mtc. We decided to go volunteer at the MTC and then sleep over at Nick's house in South Salt Lake and then in the morning continue our journey to St. George. So i guess what I am trying to say is that the party began at Ihop where we had dinner with Justin Martin. It was great fun and the food was.... well, it was breakfast at Ihop.

In and Out Burger... enough said.

A overdue visit to the Low's was definately a must. They are a former senior missionary couple from bountiful that I had the opportunity to serve with in Hungary. They are lovely. They go south for the winter down to St. George. We had dinner and had a great time catching up.

Beach volley ball was amazing and I was able to get somewhat of a head-start on my summer-tan. The only rule I play by in volley ball is:If you break my nose, you buy me a new one! I just love getting that ball spiked right into my face.

The next adventure was caving in Snow Canyon, and of all places in the bottom of the cave I ran into two of my dear friends from high school, Beth Welch and Jessica Kubly.

My last two favorite items on the trip was this cute little cafe and then this ash tray that we walked by strolling down-town that is oh-so-appropriate.

Home Sweet Home

Everyone keeps asking me for updates, and also as to how I am adjusting since being home from the mission. I am well and feeling well and keeping very busy. Coming home was a bit overwhelming but I am "adjusting" just fine, so don't worry. This is a picture from the airport right after i stepped off the plane, keep in mind I had been traveling for 30+ hours.

I began working again at J. Crew the Monday after my arrival home. With the currant economic situation there are pretty much no hours for people to work because the store is suffering a little bit from receding shoppers. However the employee discount has treated me well. A little update in the wardrobe has done some good but I kind of feel that I don't know what i am doing in that department. I am in love with euro-trash, but the people here do not respond well to mullets and extremely good looking clothes.

In hopes to get some experience in management I have put in my two-weeks notice at J. Crew and am moving to whimsy to be an assistant to the owner and sales manager. It is going to be a ball. The stores look great and I will have an opportunity to work a little bit with the man that is the creator of Nappi Jeans and meet him which will be exciting.

I start school studying business this summer and am going to be taking 16 credit hours. A lot for summer but I think it will be do-able.

I have missed movies and have gone to two since I have been home. This is a picture of me and the former Sister Rasmussen aka Emily at Twilight.

I wish all of my family and friends the best and any of you who would like to get in touch feel free to email me at: tmthungary@gmail.com I've had such a great time seeing all of my loved ones again and wish you all the best. I'd love to hear from any of you!
