wa, wa, wa.

went home this week for a day. it was greatly needed. there's nothing like the security of having my dad around to figure things out for me, my mommy's asian food, and surprising my boyfriend with a tea party. it made me happy, and now i think i can get through the coming weeks.

i pretty much got a job for the summer working for the pleasant grove forest service. i will most likely be doing trail maintenance. hiking all summer with a backpack, shovel and some tools. i will be chopping down trees, moving logs, digging trenches, etc. i can't wait. i'm going to be in good shape. :) it's amazing how complete strangers are so willing to help those that show a strong desire to do something. i couldn't have gotten a job with the forest service without those nice strangers.

i'll be down in zion national park for the duration of spring break. the plan is we will be camping out and doing service for a week. we're going to pull out an invasive plant called tamarisk and re-plant native plants. i'm *excited*. but a part of me wishes i could just go home and relax for spring break. meh.

I walked into a store yesterday, praying that i wouldn't run into him. it was a good thing he wasn't there, cause i honestly don't know what i would've said. things are so much simpler now. one less thing to worry about.

i am missing someone so incredibly much.
