decisions. passion. purpose.

It's no surprise that I haven't exactly had smooth sailing since high school.  It's hard to go somewhere new, especially when you don't really think it's the best decision. Then it's even harder to move back in with your parents and admit you were wrong about it all.  I have been contemplating writing this post for quite some time.  But it is now time! Huzzah!!

Once I got to Utah, I had to figure out what was next.  I knew I would go to school and I also knew that I needed a job.  But I wanted to do something that I liked and that I was good at.  I decided to make a profile on care.com and become a  nanny.  Within about 12 hours of being in Utah, I had an interview. It was the perfect opportunity and really is a great job.  Jack & Liam are a handful but I truly enjoy my job.  I also now will be working part time for another family with a little baby girl.  Even though I was in school and had a few jobs, I still didnt know what to go in to.  I always wanted to be a teacher my whole life and be a volleyball coach, but nursing has sounded appealing in the past few years because of the health issues I have gone through.  I thought about both and definitely have gone back and forth many times.  After much thought, prayer, and many pros and cons lists, I have decided to declare my major as.......SECONDARY EDUCATION.

Being a high school teacher has just always been my goal.  Recently one of my good friends has always told me to find my passion.  Well my passion is children.  It is watching them learn and figure out new things.  Teaching is going to be my passion.  I am so so so excited and so determined to accomplish this goal! Now, I just have to figure out which university to transfer to. But I have some time for that! Hooray for getting one thing out of the way!!

as of late....

school is out. spring is here. moving in with some fun girls this weekend. and i have a pretty fun job. life is good.

Easter Sunday.

I love Easter Sunday.  It's such a good time to remember the Savior and reflect on everything.  Also, I love the spirit about the world.  Even though everyone makes a bigger deal out of the bunny and egg hunts and whatever, everyone is still celebrating and happy and wearing bright colors.  I just love it! So Happy Easter!! Hope it was a wonderful day!

sweet freedom.

It would be a lie to say this semester was a walk in the park.  I went into it thinking, Oh LDSBC, no big deal at all. It should be easy.  I was soooo wrong.  It was horrible.  It was hard and I have never written so many papers in my life.  But....tomorrow is my last day of classes! Wahoo!! I only have to write one more paper by Thursday and submit it online. I am so thrilled.  I am so excited to have a fun relaxing spring and summer.  Even though I will be taking classes, I am only taking a few and I will be moving to Provo in a few weeks also! I am so so so excited. One more day, then it's sweet freedom. (For awhile at least.) And guess what else?? Ya girl's a sophomore!!!
