Life as we know it...crazy!

Although I have been loving the Spring weather, this past week has been quite the rush. I am grateful for the gift of patience and the love and support from my family. I hope all of you have had a great May, and as June approaches, I must admit I am thrilled! So as usual grab some grub, sit back and enjoy! - Summer semester started! I love school, but I am happy to say that this is the last summer semester I will be taking until I go on to further my education. This one is going to be packed full of "exciting" things! Ha ha I have a full schedule (why!!!) but I am having a great time so far. My schedule is fairly easy, I have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Most of my credits consist of my internship, then I have Facilitating Healthy Behaviors, and Intro to Grant Writing (ah this one is a killer!). 12 weeks... 12 weeks! That's all then I will be done! One of my classes is a block class and is over in a few short weeks (June 19th!). Although I have class, I won...

I know it may be hard and financially challenging, however time and time again after praying to my Heavenly Father, the answer is the same. A little bit ago I was inquiring about different Master Programs that The University of Utah offered besides Health Promotion. I had thought I wanted to receive my Masters in Health Promotion and Education emphasizing it in Eating Disorders and Obesity. It is an interesting subject and I believe that it would have been very beneficial for me to help others love their body. However, the more I prayed about going into this program the more I would question myself about what I wo...

Friends!  First of all, I can't believe it's May! Wow time sure is flying by! Secondly I wanted to say congrats to all of my friends who are done with college! Hard work pays off, I keep telling myself that as I approach the day of my own graduation in just three short semesters. Anyway, back in September I gave myself a challenge to write in a "JOY JOURNAL" until I filled one up. My journal has been through thick and thin and always traveled with me in my purse, backpack, or binder. It was then small and full of blank pages. Now, pages are stained, bent, and filled with joyful moments!! Some days it was challenging to find joyful moments, but I did it. Everyday was different and as I looked for those little things that brought me joy, it became a habit to write them down. I was amazed that as I had an open heart and mind, my life was filled with tender mercies from the Lord and happiness from those around me. Joyful things... small but wonderful they are. At first ...
