I've now been home from the MTC about 2 1/2 months. There's been highs and lows but overall I feel that everything has worked out as it should. The past weeks haven't been the best but what's great is that everyday is a new day.
Shortly after I got home from the MTC I wanted a change, a new me that would say I was ready to make good changes and be confident in myself. One of those was to cut (chop) my hair. i've always loved short hair and wanted a spunkier hair cut. Honestly if I stayed on my mission I'm pretty sure I would've done the same thing.
Just yesterday the girls in the family to a quick trip to Cedar City to see two shows from the Utah Shakespeare Festival, To Kill a Mockingbird and Mary Stuart. They were both amazingly well done of course and fabulously enjoyable (lots of adverbs :) Sadly I got a little moody shortly before Mary Stuart so I only saw the second half but it was still great. Thanks to the fam for always dealing with my highs and lows. They're so great. Gotta love 'em. :)
I don't recognize her wearing those shoes. My gold shoes finally quit (the tongue broke) so we did some shoe swapping between my sandals and these wedges. Isn't it great when all the girls in the family have the same size feet?!? (Really we all do ... Well they're close enough that we can share shoes. Size 9 is the golden number)
Half the reason I go to the festival ... The food! Pastry Pub is always on my list for lunch. Delicious sandwiches (and other stuff but I stick with what I love).
Their salads are another delicious option. See these gorgeous gals enjoying theirs? So la-ah! That means good in Cambodian (and a lot of other things but that's a topic for another day) :)
With love,
Ems
Oh and I almost forgot, I should be getting a car soon. That will make life 10 million times easier. A cute '96 black Honda Civic. Many road trips to come. Stay tuned ...

High 5's all around for successfully shutting the trunk. It was fickle the whole trip. We even got a squeak out of it. (You had to be there to understand) :)
