A new 'state' of being

Now, as you all could guess, I'm in Arizona. I moved into my sister's house yesterday and am all set up there (other than unpacking the billions of items of clothing that I have). I slept in that room last night...it was so strange. I pulled out the two teddy bears that I keep on my bed all of the time...or so I thought.

As I laid down to go to sleep I reach over to listen to the one that talks. When I pushed dear Franklin's little paw...NOTHING! I turn my phone light on in order to get a better look at him. It turned out that I pulled out the wrong tan teddy! This teddy is named Alex...and he's been in a box for almost a year now! Oy, the memories that came with that little guy. I set him aside, now with memories flowing quickly, and I grabbed George Shwilson, my favorite bear ever, and hugged him tight.

Now you may think I'm a little baby for sleeping with a teddy bear. To that I say...

"do you think I care...?" (obvious answer...no)

I may be tough, and maybe I'll cut you if you make fun of me for that bear...but oh how comforting it is to have the same bear...something that will never change.

This whole moving situation is a lot of change. All of my friends live in Provo, and I even have best friends that are GIRLS! Crazy. I will introduce everyone here someday, but I miss them terribly. I was just getting to know some of my coworkers even better and I really miss and love all of my coworkers...even the married Cole (it's crazy...we've been hearing about his wedding all summer...and now he's actually married! Yay!)

Anyway, I went to classes today, and now I'm just trying to get used to the terrible heat (it was 90 degrees when I left home this morning at 6:30 am. Annnnnd to top that off...there was a heat advisory! Crazy. Anyway, that has been my day. Such is life.
