The Adventure of Fall

Oh what joys the fall season brings. 

Aside from craziness of work, the fall adventuring has been in full force.

Canyon Walks and Soccer Games

Visits from Parentals for BYU Football

Visits to Good Ol' Manti

Sighting in Guns... Just wait for it.

You guessed it. For the first time in my life I went hunting. Legit hunting.
Here's how the story went:

February 2011
     Dad: "Do you want to put in for the deer hunt?"
     Me: "What??"
     Dad: "Do you want to put in for the deer hunt?!"
     Me: "Dad. I've never been hunting in my life."
     Dad: "I know! I think it's about time you went!"
     Me: "Dad, I have no idea where I will be in October. I could be in Timbuktu for all I know."
     Dad: "Well then, it'll give you a good reason to come home!"
     Me: "Ok fine. Go for it."
**Didn't draw out in 2011.

February 2012
     Dad: "Do you want to put in for the deer hunt again? We'll most likely go this year!"
     Me: "Sure. I'll only be in Provo in October. Easily done."
**Drew out for October 2012 Rifle Deer Hunt.

Although Bambi lived to see another day, 

we did see lots of great sites, beautiful animals, and gorgeous skies.

Parachute, All American Rejects, and Boys Like Girls Concert!

All in all,
the adventuring has been a wild, fun ride!
Oh how I love fall!!

A Coming of Age

In 1.5 weeks I will move from:

• BYU Athletics Secretary for Soccer, Gymnastics, and Tennis
• 6 Hour Work Days
• 30 Minute Lunch Breaks
• Only 401K Benefits
• A Cave Office

To this:

• BYU Athletics Administrative Assistant to the Associate Athletic Director
• 8 Hour Work Days
• 60 Minute Lunch Breaks
• Medical and Dental Insurance + 401K Retirement Benefits + Paid Holidays, Vacation, & Sick Time
• Legit Office

It's a coming of age. I actually have to be a real adult now with a real full time job.

Feelings:

• Sad to miss out on day to day interaction with awesome coaches and athletes
• Man! I'm going to miss my incredible soccer team! (Ranked #4 in the Country!)
• Gonna have to get more sleep at night so I can actually wake up EARLIER to run... ugh.
• Super nervous for the overwhelmingness of a new job
• So stoked for this new opportunity and the adventures it will bring!

P.S.      Dear Future Husband:
                       I can give us awesome insurance, tickets and put you through school if need be.
                       Just thought you'd like to know.  :)
