Diamond Fork Hot Springs and goal updates

Moving has its ups and its downs. One of its downs is that we have to say goodbye to all of our friends and all of the places we love here in Utah. Last night Caleb and I went with some friends to the Diamond Fork Hot Springs. It was so nice to just text some friends and go. We didn't have to worry about awkward car rides with people you don't really  know, asking someone to hang out and not knowing if they really think of you as a friend or not, or choosing music that the other party either hates or finds offensive. I am really nervous to start over with new people and try to make friends. I am so comfortable where I already am and I don't want to start over.... sigh. Dang trials that are supposed to make you stronger.

Ah well... enough with the whining ( see my previous blog post ) and here are some pics of our adventure.

Pretty place huh? It was pretty stinky but totally worth it.

Okay part two of today's post.

How have I been doing with my goals.

 Goal number one: Complain less. This one I haven't been doing well with. Last weekend I worked a lot, and I mean a lot. I worked ten hours Friday, eight hours Saturday, and sixteen hours Sunday. I repeat, sixteen hours on Sunday. I complained a lot on Friday when Caleb decided to go to Broomball. Broomball is basically the bane of my existence (future goal: Be less dramatic in my writing). I really wanted to spend as much time as possible with Caleb since I would be at work the majority of my weekend and I complained a lot about him going to Broomball instead of hanging with me. One day I will be a big girl and just go with him and be happy about it. Unfortunately, I will probably be living in Spokane by that time and maybe, just maybe, Broomball doesn't exist in Washington.

Goal two: I have been doing better with my dishes. I might not get them done every night before bedtime, but they are getting done a lot sooner and piling up less! Woot woot.

Goal three: Spending less on food has been pretty hard... I am going to go ahead and give me and F on this goal and I will continue to work on it.

and lastly Goal four: If you read the first part of my post you would have noticed that we invited friends to hang out with us! This is a huge deal! We are actually inviting people over or asking them to do things with us. Since I wrote my goals I think we have invited friends to do something at least four times. In the three years we have been married we haven't done much of that so this is great progress for us. Hopefully we can get so good at being social this summer with the friends we already have that when we move we will have developed good enough habits to continue with complete strangers. I'm hoping so anyways!

So yeah, I am working on things anyways.

And now to end. I used to have a coworker that introduced me to something called, "Rose, bud, thorn". This is where you announce something good that is going on now (rose), something you are looking forward to (bud), and something that is difficult (thorn).  Maybe I can end with that and I'll make it a thing for all of my blog posts. We'll give it a shot.

Rose: Caleb and I found a new biking trail!

Bud: Going to Yellowstone soon with my family.

Thorn: Still haven't found an apartment for Spokane or a job.

Bye mes amis!
