What a Beautiful Day...

So, I haven't written on this thing in awhile. Oops! Sorry to those avidly reading this (which I assume is hardly anyone). Oh well! I guess I should bring you up to speed with my life happenings recently...

So, we've started fall crew now. This past week was our first full week together. A couple changes and adjustments were needed to shift from the family camp mentality to the conferences and workshops we have all fall long. The end of summer crew was kinda sad. I grew close to so many of the staff that I got to work with! We had lots of fun and made tons of memories! No, I wasn't a part of the Aspen Grove dating drama (however, some thought I was). I heard about most of the things going on here, which was kinda funny. I never did date anyone on staff here while the summer was going on. On several occasions, I thought hard about doing it. But alas, I did not. Who are these girls that I wanted to ask out? Well, you'll have to ask me about that in person! (Ha Ha) The last day of summer crew was crazy because we were all trying to finish up in time to get down to the first BYU football home game. Most of us made it on time, although the traffic was horrendous! It was fun to get back into football again and especially to see BYU win its first game of the season! Yay! It was kinda empty at Aspen Grove after summer crew left and before fall crew started. I spent most of that weekend alone up here (although I did go down to the valley a couple of times). Once fall crew started, I felt a little bit more at ease. It's still quite an adjustment and will take some time getting use to it, but I'll manage. The crew for the fall is quite fun. We all seem to get along fairly well. Most of the crew here are only part time since they're still in school. There's only a few of us who are here full time, and most of them are in the dining hall and kitchen. But, that's alright. It's almost like summer all over again!

I'm sure there are many of you wondering about my social life and how that's going. Well, there's not much to report on in this section of my life. It kinda surprises me how "down" I've been lately. Not depressed, mind you. I just haven't had the drive to date as much as I normally would have. I've become really content in being single, which is good and bad. Good in the fact that I'm enjoying the stage of life I'm in currently and making the most of it. I don't have to depend on anyone except myself to do things. I also don't have anyone else depending on me. It's kinda nice. However, the bad is that I should be allotting time to focus on that part of my life. I just can't seem to get off my rear end and do it! I'm still intimidated by the whole dating scene, and I've been home for almost five years from my mission! Crazy, eh? There are several girls I would love to date, but I'm just so scared about asking them. I'll see if I can change it, though...
