Last Days in Missouri

Well, here are the last of Missouri. I left on July 20th. My mom, Andrew, and I drove my car to Utah. It was a straight, 17 hour drive.

These were my sister's pictures, but I really like them. :P This is Emma and BriAnn.

Here is Ethan. He's such a cute little boy. I am going to miss these kids so much. I wish I could have spent more time with my sister and her family while I was there. I worked too much and at the most inconvienent time to hang out.

I love this picture of Emma! She is such a dramatic little girl.

Chris cropped this out of a picture I sent him. I thought it was cool :)

I would eat a bunch when I got home from work late. I would munch on Goldfish while my food was cooking. These two were stuck together.

My cat seriously follows me everywhere. She sat in the tub while I was in the bathroom. This was our last night together. I am going to miss her so much. She is constantly by my side. It will be weird studying or sleeping at college without her right there next to me.

She often takes my spot in my bed. It is the biggest invitation to go lay down and take a nap.

It was hard leaving my dad. He is my favorite man in the world. He and I have always had a special bond. I miss him already. It will be hard to say bye to my mom and Andrew when they go back home to Missouri. It's time to start my life though isn't it?

Missouri Updates

Hey everyone! I know it's been awhile. It hasn't really felt like it to me though which is wonderful. All I have been doing pretty much is working. I work at Worlds of Fun in the merchandise department. My main area is called Front Street. There is a hat store called Charlie's Caps, stuffed animal store called Pig Pen's Plushes, the main Front Street store, and then the candy store called Pepperment Patty's. That is my favorite place to work. It's the busiest. They sell fudge that they make there with free samples. So I eat a lot of fudge when I work at Patty's. I also work glows sometimes, which is on a cart selling light up swords, bracelets, mouth pieces, bunny ears, devil horns and other stuff. It's really fun do to.

My badge. I have to swipe in and out everyday. My hair looks really long in the picture on it :).

My very sexy work attire. I wear my converse. While standing in line to turn in our money, my co-worker looked at me and said, "Those shorts just aren't attractive on anyone." How nice....she's looking at me as she's saying this. She said my butt looks big and the guy standing with us said, "Isn't that a good thing?" haha it was funny. I really hate those shorts though.

Me on my lovely 20 minute drive to work.

And here it is...work. The park is mostly based off the Peanuts comic.

Me shopping at Buckle. I got that shirt but not those pants. I got a much longer pair. I was shocked! I never knew they made extra long pants. You can't even find long in Alaska. I love my new pants....they are the most expensive pants I have ever gotten though.

Me at Walmart after pay day. I have bought a lot of candy lately. It's from working in the candy store. I crave it all day long. :)


My very beautiful and sweet niece, BriAnn. She is still shy around me but I have been working on that. She asked me for crackers once and I talked about some of her toys with her. She is a cute little girl.

Emma. She's a sweetheart. She talks to me a lot but I can barely understand her. She's loud, active, and really cute. She gives me lots of hugs and kisses.

This is my brother-in-law's fishtank. He really enjoys doing it and his tanks are gorgeous. I really liked his clown fish, but he moved it before I got a picture of it.

Here's my cat. She spends a lot of the time I am in my room sleeping near me. When I am at work late and my family goes to sleep, she waits by the front door for me. She knows I will be home soon.

She was licking her belly here and just looked so fat!! It cracked me up.

And finally, our sweet dog Tornado. He's been really good here, although it's hard for him to not be able to run around outside unless he's on a leash.

My family is very happy to be here. We are kinda struggling right now but we know it will work out. I am leaving on the 20th with my mom and Andrew. We are driving my car back to Utah and then I leave for Europe on the 31st. I have 7 more days of work :). I can't wait to get going. I love and miss you all. Hope you are doing well.
