Sayonara, Happy Valley

         Three years.  Three years spent in a place that I could never call home.  Don't get me wrong, Provo is a lovely place with lovely scenery and lovely people, but never really the place for me.  Two weeks ago, I worked my last shift at the place I called work for 3 years.  About a week ago, I finished my last final that I will ever take at UVU.  And next week I'll pay the last rent check for my Provo apartment.  I feel liberated!!! This is the first big change in my life that I'm not kicking myself in the butt for.  Provo and I seem to have a love/hate relationship.  At times, it was a hard place to be and I constantly felt like I had to act and behave a certain way, the pressure to be married was weighing on me and constantly the topic of conversation, I was engaged, unengaged, and single all in a years time, and I never managed to find a good group of gal friends to goof off with (besides my sweet roomies of course).  Despite the negative experiences and lonely moments, I will always LOVE Provo for the positive experiences and happy days I had there.  These moments are what kept me going when things got rough, and helped me develop an attachment to the land of Zoobs.


Bridelveil falls- this place is absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful and I plan on taking many trips to see it every year.


Good old Sev Peaks- I freaking love this place and spent many many hours in these waters.


Flowrider at Provo Beach Resort- I finally learned to stand up on one of these dang things!


I'll miss seeing the cute little Zoobs everyday.  Even though this is my boyfriend, he does a great representation of my favorite type of people.


Working for Vivint.  I love the people I worked with, and this company can throw some killer parties :)


The color festival!!!!!!



Institute council- meeting Elder Perry and Sherry Dew.



Living with my sweet sister Ang- We had a blast together and only got in one fight the whole time we lived together!

  2. I love this! I think I'm finally admitting to myself that it might be time to leave Happy Valley. We had some good times, but... yeah, you know. Just trying to figure out life!
