A Job! I got a job! Yay!

So this week has been really interesting and good for me. I was not planning on working this semester, but this job opportunity just popped up for a job with a company called Familylink. It's a company that helps people find living relatives and do genealogy. I start on Wednesday this week. I think that it will be good since I wanted to be working this summer for sure so I can move out and have roommates again! Things seem to be working out really well for me lately. School is busy but good and I'm happy. Been on a few dates lately and just enjoying life again. I feel so blessed!

Blessed

Lately with all of the tragedies of others surrounding me I feel so blessed. The earthquake in Haiti and all of the people trapped on that island without food, water, and medical supplies has made my heart ache. I wish there was more I could do to help. I feel so incredibly blessed to just have been born in America with the gospel in my life! I am blessed to be going to college and getting an education and not only having the necessities of life but enjoying so many luxuries as well! Please everyone keep praying for those in Haiti!

The Holidays and a New Year!

So it has been a while and with it being a New Year and all I thought I would try to do better at blogging:) A lot has happened in the last two months! Thanksgiving and Christmas were wonderful! It is my favorite time of the year, besides the cold weather:) I love spending time with my family and remember all of the blessings I enjoy. For Thanksgiving I went to California, Disneyland to be a exact, with my dad and his family:) It was a fast paced crazy vacation, but it was so much fun! Next post I will have pictures I promise! For Christmas break it was nice to just stay here in Utah and spend time with all of my family, going to parties and laughing with one another. My family is the best! We may not be perfect, but they make me so happy:) Now with the start of another year I can't believe it is 2010 already! I have made some goals to work on this year that I may post later on. The most amazing thing that the new year has made me realize is how much I have grown. I loved, lost, and found myself in 2009. I have still got a long ways to go, but I think that I am so much happier now than a year ago and I learned some very hard but valuable lessons that made me stronger. Now this week I will start my second semester in the nursing program. I am a little nervous to tell you the truth. I have heard it is so much harder than the first semester, but maybe it will be good to have a challenge:) I'm excited to see where this year will lead me and what will happen in my life....stay tuned for more insights into my "crazy" life:)

Hugs are the best!!!

It has been a while since I updated my blog so I thought I would just write a little something about the great night I had and some of the realizations I have come to about life. So tonight I went on a date for the first time in a while and this date actually came about because I took the initiative to talk to a friend and invite him to go to a Jazz game with me. Then he asked me out to dinner tonight! I was so excited! So you are probably thinking that we did something extraordinary but we didn't we just went to dinner and talked. I think what made me so happy is that he gave me a few really good hugs and that is something I have been missing a great deal lately. This got me thinking about how easily someone can have such a positive affect on me....just give me a hug:) Anyways random but I had to share. So guys the way to a girls heart is no a fancy, expensive date sometimes we just need a hug. I will post pictures from the Jazz game soon!

Mission????

A lot of my friends are starting their mission papers or have their calls. I'm excited for them, but I feel a little left out. I am starting to think about a mission, but I am right in the middle of the nursing program and to be honest I'm scared of going on one:) There is a part of me that wants to go, and another part that really doesn't think I could do it....and I don't want to go in the middle of school. Is that bad? Is it selfish? I need some advice people!

School, life, update...

So I know that it has been forever since I last blogged, but not a lot of exciting things have happened lately. I started back to school and Nursing is going well. It's not exactly what I expected but I think it will get more challenging in the coming months. I have recently taken my moms role while she and my step dad have been out of town for their anniversary. Let me just say that I'm glad I don't have children yet lol! My mom comes home in two days and it will be nice to get back to normal. Friend wise I'm feeling a bit lonely lately. Not because I don't have great friends, I do! It's just for about two months now I have felt something missing and finally figured out what it is-a best friend! To go and do everything with. Now some may think I mean a boyfriend, which would be nice, but I'm not picky I would be happy with a really good friend guy or girl that would spend time with me whenever I was bored or lonely:) So anyone looking for a best friend just give me a call! Well I know that does not sound all that exciting but that's my life right now. I'll keep you updated:)
