Crazy Little Thing...

...called moving.

So a lot has changed in the year since I first created this blog. I found a job shortly after the first post, got super busy at work, hated the hour long commute and moved. Friends came home from missions and other friends left for missions. I've had boyfriends and breakups, fallouts and makeups. I've changed my mind, changed my hair, changed my style, changed my additude. And all of that is part of moving on in life.

More about the above you ask? Well okay. I started working for a company called Comfort Systems USA at the end of last September. They are a heating and cooling contractor that hired me to oversee some of the accounting work in the office. Gradually I became responsible for some of the service department as well, and then took over a different portion of the accounting. I made really good friends with some of my coworkers, then screwed it all up at the company holiday party. One of the coworkers that I felt closest to really hated me for a while after the party. Gradually that has abated and now we are back on speaking terms, though we won't be close like we were before, which really makes me sad. Anyway, work went from being super busy to being really slow, and things just weren't cutting it with reduced hours, so life has been kind of stressful.

Back in December the commute to work got to be too much, with the weather making the 45-60 min commute lenghten to 2-3 hours I decided it was time for a change. I moved to West Jordan to be closer to work and though I hated leaving Provo behind I was really glad to be closer to work. I moved in with some family here, and told them and myself that it would be temporary. It hasn't really been as temporary as I'd have liked. With the move though, I've made a lot of good friends. I really enjoy the people I'm around now. I still really miss Provo, but West Jordan is growing on me (-:

My best friend is on a mission in Brazil. She's been gone for almost 6 months. I miss her so much!! But she is having such an amazing adventure. I won't lie, I'm counting down until she gets back in a little over a year. Also, one of my new West Jordan friends is in Canada right now. She's been there for about 4 months, and will be there for another 14. She's having an amazing time as well, but hates the weather (she's not a fan of the cold). When she gets back the three of us will all be going to Disneyland, for at least a few days, maybe a full week.

And that brings ya up to speed with the last year.

Now I sit here on the brink of yet another major change in life. I've quit my job with Comfort Systems in order to take a position with a small, but growing company called Matchbin. They want me to take over their day to day accounting, and the position will be a major career move. It will allow me to use the degree I worked so hard to get, and give me a little freedom to really grow more as an accountant. I'm really excited about it.

Leaving Comfort Systems today after my exit interview was a totally bittersweet moment. I'm stoked about the new adventure I'm about to begin at Matchbin, but it was so hard to say goodbye to the people I've spent everyday with for the last year+. I made friendships there, and I will miss the laughs and mildly angry outbursts. I had some great times there, and those memories can't be replaced.

For now though, this is my life. I plan to live every minute of it, kickin butt and takin names, as one of my former coworkers told me today.
