"Always have the strength to move on, and remember when you do move on, what a blessing it was to have that person become a part of your life. Know that they have impacted who you are today in some way and because of them you will be forever changed."

Finally employed
So after taking a much needed month off from real life, I am back to work. I started my new job today. I work for Apple One as an Account Executive (recruiter). This is the exact same job I did for Business Careers in Seattle and I couldn't be any happier. I only have a 15 min commute and the best part is that I will no longer be bored....
I have to thank my family and friends again for all of their support throughout the last few months. I never would have made it through it without you.
So here's to a new job, a new life and getting what I want this time!!

The best
Is there anything better in life than a loving, supportive family and amazing friends?
I don't think so...
I love you all more than I could ever say. I feel so blessed to have you in my life.

Letting go.....finally
"To let go isn't to forget, not think about or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger jealousy or regret. Letting go isn't about winning or losing. It's not about pride, and it's not about how you appear, it's not obbessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts and it deosn't leave emptiness, hurt or sadness. It's not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind and confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you soon will gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door and to clear a path and set yourself free."

Full circle
A few weeks ago I read something that said that all things in life come full circle.... That has been my theme this week. I have been finding myself doing, reading, seeing and participating in things that have been a bit erie.
Yesterday, I found myself jogging around a park in the neighbourhood where I am staying - to work off the "marriage" weight. As I am jogging along listening to a great "break up mix" on my iphone (don't you miss those?), I found myself paying close attention to a soccer game as I looped around it over and over. Why the fascination with the soccer game? - that is the exact same field I spent 6+ years of my life practicing constantly for my club soccer team. The same team that traveled all over the Western US and Canada (coincidence anyone?) for our tournaments.
I have yet to go to a restaurant or grocery store so far without seeing someone from my childhood or college years at USU. And they always ask the same thing - Are you married? Kids? Etc. I am living in Sandy which is the same town I spent birth to age 15. Now that I am soon to be single again and seeing all these people, I feel like I am back on that "what do I want to do with my life" path.
Then, as I am going through all my belongings in a attempt to "downsize my life" I run across lots of childhood stuff, pictures and old journals. As I am reading an old journal, I realize that even when I was little I knew somehow that I would be married at year 24. Not 23 or 25, but age 24. And low and behold - I married Matt at age 24. How did I know that? Or was it an unconscious thing that has been in the head my whole life? And as I continue through the boxes I find a t-shirt, trophy and pictures of myself in Vancouver for a soccer tournament back in 1995. I barely even remember the fact that I had ever been to Canada (and now I can't stop blogging or talking about the Great White North)
Looking back - I moved from Sandy to Brigham City at age 15. I remember that being such a scary and hard transitional time in my life. I was in 9th grade and had already begun playing sports for Jordan High School. I was looking forward to being in "High School" the next year and making the varsity team. (Isn't it amazing what made us happy back in those days?) Life was great......... then the bomb hit. I was told that we were moving to Brigham City - Where? - Brigham City. I never thought life would be the same. I had to leave all my friends I had known since kindergarten and start all over.
And coming full circle, here I am again. Never in a million years did I think that I would be doing this again. I am 28 years old, back in Sandy, looking for work and starting my life over. I guess that proves that you never know where life is gonna take ya......
But my guess is that it will all come full circle eventually

My addiction
My name is Lisa and I am a college football addict!! I really can't get enough of it. My iphone is getting a workout and not from what you are thinking. It's from my obsession with my college football apps.
My first LIVE game of the season was tonight. My Aggies lost, but honestly I thought the Utes would have run up the score a lot higher. Way to go Aggies, keep it up!!
If you ever wonder what I am doing on any given Saturday for the next 4 months. There is only one answer - COLLEGE FOOTBALL BABY!!!
