A Day Late, A Buck Short

The title of this post really has nothing to do with the post itself. It is simply a line from a song I've listened to quite a bit lately.
I haven't updated this in quite some time, and for that I apologize. I doubt anyone even reads it anymore, ha ha ha... Nonetheless, I thought I'd give a little update about what has been going on in my life.

First and foremost, my computer is dead, DeAd, DEAD. It doesn't recognize the hard drive is even in the computer, thus making it impossible for Windows to load. I blame the "disk clean-up" I did just before it crashed. {Insert a classic "Rawr" here} I will be buying a new hard drive in the next few weeks and then life should be business as usual. The hard part is that I can't upload or edit any pictures until my computer is fixed. I also can't update my iPod. Oh yeah, that's another thing.... Because it had been a few months since I last backed up my hard drive to my external hard drive, I've lost tons of music, and even more photos. Booooo!!! I guess that means I'll have to do some more PHOTOSHOOTS!! :) Any takers??? :)

In terms of "the guy scene" in my life...Well, let's just say it's kind of chaotic. Over the last few months I have also learned that you should say what's on your mind. I have found the line in "My Best Friend's Wedding" to be more true than I originally realized; "When you love someone, you SAY IT! Right then! Out loud! Otherwise, the moment just...passes you by."
There isn't much worse than finding out a few years down the line that the other person cared about you back then, too, but nothing was done about it for WHATEVER reason.

A few months ago I was talking with a friend of mine who served his mission in Minnesota (he actually taught me the discussions when I was first investigating the church!) and he gave me what was maybe the biggest compliment of my life. Backstory: I was completely in love with this kid for like, 3 years....After he finished his mission, he came back to Utah (where he's from) and we kept in touch. He came back to Minnesota once for a wedding and took me as his date. The kid is a rockstar. Funny, caring, genuine....Just an all around great guy. Well, he eventually got married and started a family of his own. He now has 4 awesome kids and his wife is a doll! We still keep in touch sometimes. Like I said, a few months ago we were talking on the phone and he said, "Sarah....Don't take this the wrong way, I am completely in love with my wife and kids and I wouldn't trade them for the world, but sometimes I feel like I missed out on dating you and I wish we would have given it a shot." I think when he said that, my heart stopped for a second. I guess I'm always so afraid of what would happen to the friendship if I tell someone how I feel about them and they don't feel the same way, so I typically don't say anything to them about it. I think it's maybe almost WORSE to find out later that what you hoped could have been, really COULD HAVE been.... Blahhhh...

So maybe "A day late, a buck short" really did apply to the post after all, haha...

2,000 Miles, 9 States and 4 Days Later....

I finally made it back to Utah! It was a long trip, but a trip I was glad to take! I haven't done much or seen many people since I've been back because I've been busy trying to get my life organized again, meaning finding a job and a place to live.

Well, I got the job part kind of figured out... I got hired at the Summit-Watch Marriott in Park City and will be working at the front desk. I start tomorrow. It doesn't pay enough for what I really need, but A JOB is better than NO JOB. So, until I can find an additional job or a new job all-together, this will have to do.

As far as the living situation goes, I will be moving into my "new" apartment this afternoon. When I say "new," I only mean "new to me." The place itself is totally ghetto! It's a basement apartment and the ceilings are pretty low -- however, my room is pretty big and I have a lot of closet space, so all-in-all, it's not THAT BAD... Plus, it's right off of Parley's Way on I-80 in SugarHouse, so it's close to the canyon and will make my commute to Park City more convenient. Unfortunately, many of my things are still in Maryland. My boss won't be back to her house for a month, so until she sends them to me, I am stuck without and don't have lots of extra money laying around to replace things before then. Kinda a bum deal.

Tonight is the John Allred CD release at Solid Ground Cafe!! Benton Paul is opening, along with a few other performers. Kellie and I are going, and I hoping my friend Kelsey will go, as well! It is sure to be an amazing show!

My computer is finally fixed!!!! It died over a week ago and it wouldn't even load to Windows when I turned it on. Luckily, my friend Ryan was able to fix it for me! Now I can stay a little bit better connected and in-touch with friends! :)

This blog isn't very entertaining, and I'm sorry about that....I guess it's just more of an informational blog. So there. Now you're caught up on the life and times of Sarah. :)

I'll post something interesting soon.
