Brick by Brick.

It was really weird today.. I got an email from school stating that I need to come in as soon as possible and start my graduation submission forms. Wow. I can't believe that day is actually coming up. I feel like I just started school here. This road has been hard, but faster than I could have imagined. Kind of scary that I'll get to be a grown up soon with a grown up job and have to do grown up things like pay real bills and live by myself... But I actually get to graduate! I'll be walking in December though since you can't walk in the summer. Which I don't mind as long as I'm still here. Not sure how the job market will be by then. I'd like to stay in Vegas for a bit, but we'll see. I definitely could see myself living near a beach though...

Well, it's been a little rough getting back into the swing of things. But so far it hasn't been like last semester when I've had to study literally to midnight every night just to keep up. I actually should be studying now.... oh well.

This year so far has been great. I feel happy and I feel like I am starting to have some what of a balanced life even though it's a Friday night and I'm currently at home... but I'm playing tomorrow so that counts :)

The end.

Project 365

Ok, you can go here for the link to my Project 365. Can't guarantee pictures will be up daily, but I'm going to be taking them.

Happy New Year!! It already feels better :)

Goals.

I love New Years. Not necessarily the celebrating part, but the the feeling of a clean slate. I believe you can have a clean slate anytime you want, but it always feels nice to start it off at the beginning of the year.. especially after all the junk I eat over Christmas ha ha ha!

I'm not going to write my goals on here because they're kind of personal so I wrote them somewhere else, but I'm going to try to start a new "one picture a day" or what people call Project 365. The main reason I stopped was because nursing school started and I just got caught up in it and let the days slip by and gave up. I feel like these next two semesters will be busy, but not in the same way as the first two. Plus, I'll be graduating at the end of the summer and I definitely want to capture that! Then hopefully by the end of 2010 I'll have my first real job :D

So for anyone that is interested in following, I'll let you know where to find it when I figure out where I want to put it. Might put it on Flickr again like I did the first one. This project just helps me to have fun and see details in between the chaos of life.

Happy New Year!!!

"Every day ought to be the start of a new year and a new life. Such is the wonder of faith, repentance, and the miracle of the gospel of Jesus Christ." -Elder Jeffery R. Holland. (www.mormon.org)

Happy Holidays!!!

I love this time of year. It's just wonderful to be with family and relaxing without any care in the world! I have so much joy and hope for the following year.

Let us always remember to keep the spirit of Christ throughout the whole year :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

More Blessings

Well, I did it. I passed peds/ob!!!! I barely made it out of that class alive. It's the one class that pretty much weeds people out and I was just looking at the new clinical schedule and there are SO many missing names. It makes me sad and makes me wonder why I deserved this blessing and some didn't receive it at this time. I'm learning to see it as individuals and how each of us have our own paths in life and we must journey on our own sometimes as hard as it may be. He guides our lives in a way we can never imagine and we should try really hard to put our trust in Him. I think that's where the struggle lies. I know I've said before that I would accept his path for me, but it defintely wouldn't have been easy if it had gone the other way.

I feel very fortunate and very blessed that the Lord provided a way for me to do this even when I probably deserved to fail more times than not. He defintely blesses us way more than we deserve pretty much everytime. I've learned so much about myself these last 15 weeks than I have in the last few years.

Thank you all that have supported me and said prayers on my behalf!

Hope everyone enjoys the Holidays with loved ones and remembers Christ during this Christmas season :)

Wow!!

So I guess I am an OB genius... so far. Well, I wouldn't say genius, but enough to keep me passing!!!!!

I know, I can't believe it either. I've gotten B's on my last two exams and I'm currently keeping my head above water. Oh, so much hope!!!

I definitely had to change my attitude and what I was doing to get to this point. I would never have figured this out if I hadn't struggled so much in the beginning. Weird how Heavenly Father makes things apparent to you through your trials, huh? And even if it still doesn't end the way I want it to, I know I can get back up and keep going after this.

Thanks again for your love and support whoever reads this :)

Come What May and Love It

Today was a better day. My week has been better. I've been making an effort to think positive thoughts and let my worries go as best I can. Thank you for all your wonderful thoughts, advice, love, prayers, and support! It meant so much to read your words :)
