Movin' On Out

Well- just a little update here!! I've had a lot of crazy things happen with my living situation ever since I planned to move to Salt Lake- I've had lots ot place fall through and even once I did move into a place I thought I was going to move mutliple time, but I haven't as of yet. I'll make this story short, but my need to move has become more immediate-- and when I say immediate I mean I'm moving TOMORROW!! Some things have happened with my roommate and in the end she wrote me a note saying that I had to be out of the apartment by the beginning of November. I don't really have any say in this because I'm not on the contract. I know this is a good thing for me because I just need to be out of this apartment, but it's been difficult to deal with because of the way it happened. I didn't want to have to make a quick decision and move into another bad situation so I will be moving to my brother, Kyle's new house temporarily. That way I will be able to take my time looking for a place that will be good for me! So that's what's going on with me lately!! My dad will be coming down tomorrow to help me move.

On another note- I found out one of my clients have swine flu. It seems like this thing is pretty crazy! I'm still struggling to get my clients to come in, but I'm sure it will get better!!


Oh yeah--- and I'll just put up a few pictures from this weekend!! Kendra and I went to Provo and just took some fun pictures!!

My Weekend and the beginning of a new week

Well my weekends always seem to fill up quickly. It's super fun, but makes my weeks very long!! This last weekend was spent with friends because one of my best friends, Mary, is leaving on her mission on Wednesday. On Friday night we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. It was like a big reunion, so it was fun to see everyone! Then we hit up a kareoke place!! It was super fun, but Mary ended up having to leave which was a bummer.



The girls after dinner! Amberlee, Me, Mary, Maren, Mandy, and Stacy!

On Saturday I helped Kyle and Dilys move. Their new house will be great for them. That night I went back over to Mary's to hang out. We played some Scattegories, which is always a good time! (especially the later it gets) Sunday was Mary's farewell in church. She gave a great talk and we had fun at the little gathering afterward. It's super weird that she is actually going on a mission. I realized that this is the first good friend I've sent on a mission. I know she will be great, it's just weird to say goodbye for 18 months!


Prom called- they want their photo back!



In the trees



Mary's mission farewell



Love ya Mary! See ya in 18!!


I was pretty tired today from the busy weekend, but I had to go to work. As soon as I got there I had a couple messages from one of my clients that I haven't seen yet. I have been trying to get a hold of him to set up an appt since early September. I keep getting the run around with him so it has been pretty frustrating. He went to court today and wanted me to write this nice letter saying how great he's doing. He hasn't even attended any individual therapy yet and he's missed 2/6 groups since he started. So I was stressed out about him- then I find out he was there waiting for me. He didn't have enough money to pay for the session so he had to reschedule. I went out there to talk to him-- he wanted to talk to me about everything so I had to keep trying to redirect him to reschedule. He has just been a mess to work with a super manipulative the entire time. boooo... not a good way to start off the day!!

I had my second appt with a domestic voilence victim. She was pretty fake the first time I met with her, but she totally broke down today. It was good that she was real with me, but I feel at a loss already. Sometimes I wonder what I've gotten myself into, but it's a great learning experience. I know that things will get better even though it's pretty rough right now!!

New blog

So I've decided to start a blog. I always thought that my life wasn't exciting enough to have anything to blog about, but lately I've been super busy. So I've decided to give blogging a try. Join me on my journey of becoming a therapist!!
