6 weeks!


"Pain makes you stronger, tears makes you braver, heartbreak makes you wiser...so thank the past for a better future"



I have hit the 6 week mark of me and Brent. You know how some people hate a certain day of the week. For example. wednesdays, because it's "hump day". Well I can't say I look forward to Tuesdays. Every Tuesday means another week without talking to him. Here we are....6 weeks later. That is just crazy talk. I think I have accepted everything. I'm not okay with it but I have accepted it and am now in the process of moving on. In the last 6 weeks I have made new friends and each day I realize more and more how much I needed them. The future holds something very special and I can't wait to find out what it is. :) Until then I'm just gonna SMILE. :)

(I'm sorry but this picture should make anyone smile, haha) 

The single life has been interesting. I don't feel single, so I don't act single. I don't like being asked for my number, its awkward. Flattering sometimes, but awkward. I don't like any sort of compliments. If you want to hang out the first thing that comes out of your mouth should not be "your eyes are green".

I am not in Utah anymore. So guys are more open about what they are thinking.

A couple things I've learned since I've been back out on the reservation...

1. I can now understand the slang. For example... I know where "the other end is", "the quil", "the dead zone", and the little phrases people use.
2. I am officially not hated at the coffee stand. When I got back from Utah people asked "where have you been?". Offroad has been around for a long time... So when the regulars miss you, it's a compliment. :)
3. Out here... you knock twice and then walk in. I still can't do that because I feel weird just walking into someone's house... but even if you don't know them... that's normal. hahaha
4. If you hang out with any guys... their ex girlfriends will punch you in the face. <--- I wish I would have known that one.
5. everything I wear they consider to be "grandma"
6. everyone hates everyone else but loves them at the same time. It's confusing.
7. someone is ALWAYS watching.
8. The Fryberg's make up 10% of the tribe. 400 of them. 4000 tribal members. Yet somehow everyone is related to everyone else. I have cousins that I didn't even know were my cousins.
9. If you want someone to meet you at the casino... you call it the "big house"
10. If you don't want people to get annoyed with you just always pretend you know what they are talking about. :)


My trip to Utah was great! I needed a little vacation and some time with my family. I got to see Tiff, Ash, Miranda, and Shaid! After almost 4 months without them I can definitely say I missed them. I went to Kelsi's wedding and got to see grandma and grandpa! (her grandma and grandpa but i've adopted them as well) I can't believe kels is married! Everyone is doing really good! I'm happy for them! It's good to know that the people you love are so happy in life. Makes you happy.
