Traveling

Last Wednesday through Friday I was in Los Angeles for work for Icon, I was able to spend some time with a very close friend Drea. I love being with her, she is such an awesome example to me, and I'm comfortable with her. I'm not a big talker, and she makes it comfortable to just sit in silence with her. My favorite people to be around are those I can just be me with...without having to fill awkward silences. Thanks Drea for picking me up and spending your day with me! I loved seeing you!

This was my first time having to get around somewhere outside of Utah on my own. I was very intimidated at first, but made it through. Then I got to come home and spend a little time with Aspen and Ashton on Saturday and Sunday - we had a great weekend together, Aspen had a little birthday party on Saturday at Altius Gym, and my amazing friend Michelle took care of pretty much the whole party activities for me. She knows me well enough to know I would have nothing planned, and that I would be very uncomfortable trying to make the kids have fun (LOL) so she took the initiative and made the party incredible. Aspen had a fun time, and Ashton and I both agreed that it was worth the money to rent out the place for the party. All the kids had a great time, and it was less stress on us as the parents.

Monday morning I had to fly to Vegas for some more work stuff, and I rented a car all on my own, and drove through vegas to my hotel and the stores I needed to make it to. I was so scared about doing this. I hate driving, and I can't hardly even drive around Salt Lake, so my anxiety was high, but I'm glad I had to do it because now I'm not so scared to do it the next time. Ashton drove to vegas and came to stay with me Monday night, it was so much fun and I loved having him there with me. We went to the Bellagio Buffett (Which always sounds better then it tastes...bummer) but we had a great time together, and it was nice to just have a couple hours together without any interruptions.

I got home last night, and now it's back to school and work and trying to make it through it all. Life is moving fast.
