Anyway, I just wanted to thank my family for their love and silliness and companionship. I'm so blessed not only to have been born into the best family on the face of earth, but also to have had three of my siblings find three of the coolest people in the world as their companions. My brothers and sisters are pretty freakin' amazing, and Travis, Britney, and Karina are perfect fits and I love them all so much. I can't wait to see the kinds of people Marie and Jana will find. I'm sure they'll be just as awesome. And my parents... well, basically they're the best. The end.
On another note...
I've been thinking a lot about where I am in my life, quite literally. My location (Provo, Utah) is all well and good... for a while. I think I'm over it, though. I need to move on. I need to find somewhere new. I need to find a new job, something I'll like better than where I am, and get the heck outta here. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean leaving Utah, though saying that doesn't mean I'll be staying here, either. I feel a little like I'm stuck, though, and I don't like it.
I've been reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho for the second time. I remembered loving it, but I didn't remember exactly why. I mean, I remembered the basic story, but now that I'm reading it again, I'm remembering why I loved the story so much. I need to follow the omens. I need to make decisions for myself. I can't stand still. It was kinda OK for me to be "stagnate" when I first moved out here while I gained Utah residency. But now that I've graduated, I feel like Provo isn't the place for me anymore. And I feel like I should still be progressing, reaching toward something... but what?
I'm venting. That's what a blog is for, right?
Any ideas? (locations, professions, what-to-do-next)
*sigh*

Oh come one now! You're just asking for it now! It's California! It's all in California!! Just teasing. But honestly, Sarah, I think you need to find a job doing something that you like (not necessarily love) and that pays the bills because you're a writer and you should definitely pursue that. Honestly, you should move out of Provo and somewhere new. Out of Utah? Most definitely. Back to California? If it works out and that's where you feel so inclined. You are one of my favorite people for oh so many reasons. You're going to be such a good wife and mom. We just need to get you the heck out of Utah and into that lucky man's arms. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think he's in California ;). Utah is too far away. Sorry, I know this wasn't entirely specific or helpful, but I love you and I wanted you to know that.
I feel the same way! We are leaving in August and I wish someone just told me where to go. I would love to get a job offer in one of the places I'd like to go, but we're English majors! But, maybe it is possible to get a job offer since we know how to write really good resumes. My ideas for you are Seattle, Providence, RI, Portland, Maine, and around San Francisco. p.s. these are my ideas for myself too. p.s.s. I'm still going to make you a polyvore since you commented.
You should join the circus and travel...not that you are circus like at all, it would just be pretty fantastic to travel with a circus. I don't know if you have any circus talents though so I don't know how that would go, but you can always be a stage hand right? OR something like that? I don't know.
