Five Hundred, Twenty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred Minutes, Give or Take a Few

I can't believe it, it has been a year. A year from what you ask? A YEAR from graduating from college!! Yes, I have made it five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes (give or take a few) out in "the real world"! What a year it has been too!

A road trip across country with my mom
Starting my Internship with Disney
Meeting some of the best people in the world
So many hello's and goodbye's
Adventures galore!
Lots of phone calls home in tears
Debates of "what do I do next?!"
Good roommates and bad roommates
Alone for the holidays
More rain, thunder, and lightning I have EVER seen in my life!!
My period of homelessness
Getting my very first real apartment
Having no furniture 
Being thrust into a new Ward/Branch
Fighting for my job
Waiting
Coming closer to God

That is just a highlighted list of what this first year outside of college has had for me. It was one of the biggest years of my life so far, and also one of the hardest. All that said, I would not have changed one minute of it! 
HELLO WORLD!

beep, beep, beep, beep and blah b-blah blah.

The two most annoying sounds in my life right now are:

Sound One: beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, 


AND

Sound Two: Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, Blah b-blah blah, 

Sound One comes from my car. My automatic seatbelt stopped working about two months again so my car reminds me continually that my seatbelt is not working. If my car is one Sound One is going. The only way that I am still sane is that I blast my music as loud at it can go, which one of the speakers has a loss wire and goes out on me a lot. (yes, I know my car is old and falling apart, but I love her still so much!)

Sound Two is the sound my radio makes at work that means one of my locations I stock for needs something. It goes off on a busy day a million and a half times. Most of the time I want to drop my radio in the fryer or throw it into the lake that is behind Typhoon. It doesn't help that I seem to be the go-to girl when something is going wrong or there is a lack of communication between people. I guess I can only blame myself for that one. 

Needless to say those are the two sounds that run and ruin my life right now. What are the sounds that you hear most frequent in your life?
