Doubles

I am {twenty-two} weird? Just a little! I can remember when I turned 8, birthdays just aren't as exciting as they were when you were younger! But I was spoiled this year. So many phone calls letters even my office was all decorated and even better my mom had a (little) BBQ for me!! All my family was there! Well the ones that live in Utah! It was great!

Quail fire

3:20 I get a call from my dad at work... I didn't answer because I thought he just wants me to stop on my way home from work and get him a milk shake.. Normal right? 3:25 I get a call from my dad on my work phone "cara can you please come home!" my heart sank "well of course, is everything okay?" dad " if we have to be evacuated I won't have anyway out" I hang up the phone grad my purse and am trying to hold back the tears while telling my boss that I have to leave. I get in my car, call mackenzie but of course she is driving across country with no service then I call Linds she answers and I just burst into tears, she calmed me down alot. I get closer to the point of the mountain and just see a huge "cloud" over alpine and my heart sink even more! My mom calls me and tells me to take pictures of everything in our house. I pull into alpine and i wasn't even aloud to go up my normal street because it was blocked with fire trucks. I get home am running around like a wild chicken snapping pictures if everything. I even took pictures of pictures just in case I never could see them again. Fire fighters were just sitting outside my house waiting till they got the call to go up. Every news station was out in front of my house. The flames were huge!! My dad saw the barn blow up from his office window! I was outside until dark watching my mountains go on fire. What a blessing that we didn't have to get evacuated.. We were ready if we had to though. What a wonderful blessing for this beautiful rain, even if it made my car dirty! Thank you for all the prayers they truly are being answered!! Here are just a couple pictures I got.

Happy happy 21st birthday my dear friend. I wish you the BESTEST day ever. I wish I could be in thatcher with you to celebrate this big day with you!!! This girl has always been there for me from snowy days to sunny days! I remember one night when we were in key west and it was a rough night for me... I just wanted to be home. You came over to my bed and just sat down and just listened to me and didn't say anything... That's all I needed! You are an amazing person. I will be forever grateful for that stupid astronomy class :) HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BFF

Back again.

Is it sad that this is my first time seeing the new blog?! Yes i think so! Where to start. I AM HOME FROM KEY WEST!! best news ever right? I believe so! It was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I grew so much from being down there. I am still working for the company. How great is that?! I think its pretty great myself. I love working for Del Sol. Such an awesome company. I love the people i work with, everyone is always so happy and so helpful. I answer phone calls from end customers and reply to emails and just make customers HAPPY! how easy is that?!


Rumors are true I am 21 (almost) 22 and I live at home :) i always tell people I have the worlds best roommates ever! everyone always agrees. My life right now goes like this. sleep in. go to work. work out. go home. watch t.v. with the best roommates. go to bed. and do it all over again. (plus a little bit of shopping) I love being able to spend time with my roommates but let me tell you... i need to get "friends" ASAP. Don't get me wrong I have been on some super fun dates but every girl needs some good "girl friends" you know what I mean? I have always been so lucky to have such amazing friends and I miss my bffs A LOT. Some would say I have a lot of bffs.... and yup, you are correct. I DO. and I am lucky! I just wished they all lived right by me! selfish? just a little. My favorite thing to do is to watch my cute little babes Cannon & McCoy. They are simple way to cute. Cannon is amazing at sports, LOVES to wear hats, He has the best smile ever & loves to play with ME. McCoy just warms your heart. He is crawling everywhere and sure knows how to let out a good "laugh"! Can i please just tell you how much i love being an AUNT?! I LOVE IT!! Its the best thing ever.

I pray for all the families that have lost homes due to all the fires and to all the families who are hurting in my small town "enumclaw"

over and over

I feel like i have A TON of time on my hands, and i am right! Really truly i do! I feel like i just keep thinking the same thing OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PEOPLE i am in a pickle!!! There are so many pros and cons and its so frustrating! I am finishing school no matter what! It's not even a question anymore I mean i have A 1 YEAR & 1/2 left I CAN DO IT PEOPLE! The real question is do i go back to USU or do i live at home and attend UVU? I need to decided ASAP. ROUGH LIFE I TELL YA.

Socks

The things people will do for socks! The other day I had a couple come into the store just to buy socks! I mean they are amazing! Of course we didn't have what they wanted so I told them we would have them later this week! Usually people tell you oh perfect we will we back (I call them BBERS) be backers! THEY NEVER COME BACK but this case was different! They DID, yes it's only 12.00 but still!! Anyway when they came back I asked how they were and they told me they were so great but they were in traffic for 4 hours because there was an accident on the 7 mile bridge and a group of college kids were killed! It broke my heart!! I couldn't imagine that feeling and having to answer that phone call! The guy loved the socks so much he came back for more and left me his dirty old socks.... such a nice surprise to find in the dressing room right??

Reflecting

I've learned a lot about myself the past 3 months (yes, 3 months) it's crazy how fast and slow at the same time this internship has gone, truthfully I am so glad i listened to my heart, and not what others told me about leaving and taking some time off of school, I've had to rely on prayer more here then ever! It's been a hard adjustment living in the keys but it's been the best for me! There are days at a time when I just wanna pack up my life and move home and then I have the days where I can't complain, it's a funny little cycle! Working in a clothing store is hard work! Who would of ever guessed! You have to put on a smile even when it's been a rough day! I'm not very good at hiding my emotions, I think I'm getting better at it! There really is no reason to not smile I mean it's sunny and just beautiful here and life is great! The company is amazing! I can see myself working for them once I finish my schooling "if that day ever comes" all in all It's been a very successful 3 months!!
