I have not blogged in forever, mostly due to the fact that our lives are really not that exciting and there isn't much to write about. I have also been really busy lately....and I have taken on a new project: figuring out my life. Yep, it's a big project.
I have been just cruising along this semester like always when the thought suddenly occurred to me that I don't really know how to be graduated. I have been in school for so long that I am a pro at going to school and being in student-mode. However, when I graduate, what do I really want to do with myself? I hadn't really considered it.
So many things are changing, yet so many things are staying the same. Devin will still be in school, so we will be here for a while more, that is unless we decide to transfer schools and move (which is a possibility). Don't get me wrong, I have loved my time in Provo, but I feel like I have done my time here and I am ready for a change. But, if we end up staying here for another few years as Devin finishes up his education, I will be okay with that too. We are currently in the process of finding a new apartment. We looked at one place that I thought I was really going to love, but I didn't. I also just keep feeling like we need to stay in our ward. I don't know why...so now we are focusing our search to places within the ward. We just need something a little bit bigger. Our apartment now is great and has a lot of perks, but it just has NO storage space and we can't keep piling our junk in random places. You have already seen the picture of our food storage in our bedroom. It's just not attractive.
The other thing is that I need to start looking for a new job. I have worked where I do for FOUR years and that has been great as it has gotten me through school, but I feel that it is time to move on. The very thought just scares me. I know how to do what I doing and I am comfortable there and the bottom line is that I just don't like change. I don't even know where to start looking for a new job to be honest. It is a scary thought. I wish my internship would just hire me, but they unfortunately don't have any positions. Ah.....I also have debated on and off about grad school. I was in class the other night and my professor congratulated those who made it into grad school (the Social Work program at BYU just announced its grad school admissions) and I was totally jealous. I didn't even apply, but I still felt a twinge of jealousy about those who would be going on. I didn't apply because I feel so burnt out that I didn't think I could do it. But who knows, after a summer break, I might have been more than ready to go.
Well those are just some of the ramblings of my life right now. I am sorry this is a boring post and pictureless, but hey...it's my blog and I will do with it what I want! :)

I've been wondering where you were and what you have been up to! Sounds like a lot of soul searching. Good for you! I know you will be able to figure it out and whatever you shoose to do you will be GREAT at it!! I love you kimmy... you are TOTALLY the best!!
good luck figuring out what do with your life..frankly, I still don't know what to do with my life. School is a comfortable lifestyle. I am not worried about you though..you'll figure it out. Most of the time life just happens and you just have to figure out how to catch up with it. Good luck and let me know when you want to come to st. George this summer.
I am so glad you posted that. It let me have a little insight to what is really going through Kimmie's mind at the moment. I totally understand the confusion and lost feeling of what next? or what do I do with myself now?? I know you two will make the right decision.
Wow congrats on graduating and onto the next step! I think you should write a book.
