New Place

So I have moved to Utah, I know I have always said that I would never move to this state, but here I am! I am working at an in house treatment facility for troubled teens and am so far really enjoying it. I have had some interesting experiences with the kids so far and I really do think that this is the place that I am supposed to be.
I have also taken some time for fun with some of my friends that are down here. I went out with Jen S last weekend. We went and got two hour massages and then got our toes and make up done. Then we went to probably the lamest party that I have ever been to down in Provo. I will make sure I know what is entailed in the party before I go to one down there again. I did have a lot of fun with Jen and Linsey though. We got to hang out all day and then we also got to be pampered. It was a nice way to celebrate my first weekend here in Utah.
This week was good, really tiring but good. It is interesting how much energy taking care of 15 kids can take up. I got to go and attend the drug and alcohol group with the kids who are here for substance abuse. I was able to get more insights on how to relate to some of these kids and how I can help them overcome their short comings. I am happy that I am being blessed to gain more insights and bits of information to help me with accomplishing the job that I have to do.
Today was a great day. I went and hung out with my Jennifer Lynn Birkel. It has been since their wedding that I have seen her. It was good just to spend some time catching up and just getting some Ashley and Jenn time in. We went to the clothing store where Jenn works and I was able to get some more scrubs for $5.99. They are my favorite thing to wear to work because I can always be comfortable, and that helps me have a clearer mind. We then went to this awesome malt shop in Provo and had really good burgers and a shake. I was almost late for work because I waited to long to leave to get back home. I hope that we will be able to hang out more often, because it was good just to hang out and remenise. Any ways, I had better get back to work and hanging out.
