new name, new look.

i've got a new name!

i've always disliked 'miss lucy dunn' for some reason. i didn't feel like it was clever enough for a blog. so after all this time i've finally come up with something different. and despite the fact that i've been told 'i don't get it' i'm stickin to it!

i have a lot more time on my hands these days with my work schedule. and being the lazy person that i am, i haven't been very useful with it.

i have a lot of ideas of things to write about, but can never seem to get myself to actually sit down and get my thoughts into words.

so i'll do a little update. i live in salt lake now. in a basement apartment. i currently live by myself and am looking for a roommate (hasn't been too successful). my neighbors upstairs are a newly married couple. which leads to funny statements like "sorry our bed is busted, so sorry if its been loud." oh all the implications that statement can make.

i came to the conclusion that the one thing i can rely on that makes me happy in utah is my fairly new car. i look forward to the drive to and from work and any time spent on the freeway in the summer with the windows down. apparently my driving skills are becoming more 'utah-like' which i guess could be attributed to the fact that i have more horsepower than my previous car.

at work i've moved from being a chief to an indian. i just show up and do what i'm told. i get less opportunities to express some creativity with the store (more on that in a later post). it's unfortunate because i feel like i have a lot to offer. but i still enjoy building relationships and selling dresses. this all leads me to looking for a new job. i should be better, but luckily this job reminds me everyday that i deserve better, so i need to go find it.

i feel like a different person these days. and i like it. the last year has definitely been an interesting one. i recognize the blessings of having the spirit. trials seem less like trials when you have heavenly father to turn to. what a blessing it is to be able to turn to him whenever you need to ask for his help.

im making progress, and i plan to keep it up with all this momentum. it feels good to have goals and to be working on the person i want to be.
