Week 3

People say it takes 21 days to create a routine. I have officially hit my routine day. Life in Georgia has become a routine and it is a routine that I love. Even though I do basically the same thing daily there are simple things that change that make the routine fun. Well besides the fact that even though it is routine I don't feel like it is monotonous. I think I have finally realized that those two words have very different meanings.

A few things I have learned this week:

1) Morning fog is one of the most beautiful phenomenons on the planet. Especially when it is clear everywhere but over the Chattahoochee River.  
2) I have become afraid of overpasses. I can pinpoint this fear to the fact that every morning and afternoon I get stuck on one and this is my thought every time "well if there is an earthquake right now I guess I'm dead." The worst is when I get stuck on the bridge over the Chattahoochee because not only would I die from the earthquake but my body would never be found because it would be at the bottom of the river. Yeah, I have great uplifting thoughts as I drive.
3) If I am going to enjoy living in St. George even a little bit when I get back, they need to get a Trader Joe's before I get there. For those who have never shopped there, what is wrong with you? It is fabulous and need to join the crowd so that we can get one in the STG. 
4) I am becoming a dog person. I was fairly nonchalant to dogs; however, I am now a fan and will most definitely own a dog when I live in a place that allows one.
5) Serving someone else is the best way to forget your own life's dramas and put everything into perspective.
6) Jim Gaffigan gets funnier as I get older. Seriously though, I am listening to his newest special 'Obsessed' and I am laughing quite hard.

So the internship is going well. Don't judge me for the bragging that I am about to do. I was told this week by my co-worker that I am one of the best interns that she has seen. So I do tweets and pinterest pins for several clients and this week she didn't have to rewrite any of them. It's only been three weeks and they said it would take at least a month to get the voice and tone of the clients down enough to not have to rewrite them a couple of times. So yeah, I am pretty much awesome.

I was finally able to attend the temple last night and it was wonderful. I have so far been able to keep my goal of going to the temple at least once a month. I haven't been back to the Atlanta Temple since my mission and it was wonderful. I hadn't been inside since the renovation and it so beautiful. I mean all temples are beautiful no matter what but because this temple has become my favorite it is especially beautiful. I am continually amazed at how much I learn every time I attend a session at the temple. It never ceases to amaze me at the love that our Father in Heaven and our Savior have for us.

All in all this week was pretty fantastic. I am loving my life here and I wish it didn't have to ever end.
