Life is great...esp. in a place nicknamed 'Happy Valley'


So my life has taken a complete 360 in the past couple weeks. Let me take you through a chronological tour of the life changing events in my life the past couple months.(pictures will be applied when appropriate). Sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride through Lyndee Land.



June 26th and July 31st: My 2 roommates and best friends got married. Emily and Jess your weddings were beautiful and I am so glad to be apart of them and thankful for your influence in my life.
Month of July: I moved back home and finally finished up my bachelors degree by completing my last class online ending August 4th. Right before this I lost one of the best woman to live on this earth....my Grandma Hancock.

August 2nd: I received a random out of the blue text from my high school friend Kali. She asked me if I wanted to move in with her in Provo, Utah becasue she had and extra room in her house.(this was just a joke becasue she didn't think I would really move to Utah-nor did I)
I then thought what the heck why not, I am done with school in 2 days and need a job and a place to live). So I got on Craig's list that day and applied for Human Resource jobs in Provo, UT. The next day I got a call from one of the jobs and it turns out the boss of this job went to high school with my aunt LeNell. This gave me the connections and I got the job that day over the phone.

Friday August 6th: I put my life in to my blue Honda civic, said goodbye to my only home I have ever known....Arizona, and drove 11 hours up to the beehive state to a place known as 'Happy Valley' aka Provo, UT.

-note the above and below two pictures are of me and my peeps partying up my last night in AZ by visiting for the last time the best parts of ASU campus-



Present day:I am 2 weeks into my job and it is really great. I am learning so much. The firm I work for is a Human Resource firm and we do HR work for other companies.

All in all....I never thought I would find myself hundreds of miles away from my close family and friends in the freezing cold(well so I have heard it will get really cold). But yet here I am and it is such a blessing and a answer to my prayers to have a great job and have the opportunity to meet knew people gaining more life experience. I had an epiphany today at work that the Lord was really looking out for me and this situation I found my self in is such a blessing! I thank the Lord for this.

So now you all look forward to hearing about my new adventures in a place so unfamiliar to me. Who knows what will come up....All I know is that i am blessed and thankful to be living life right now...(even if it means freezing to death, haha jk)
