Making It My Way

Today I was thinking about how much I need to make things the way I want them to be. I cannot just 'have' things my way. I need to 'make' them so. I am talking about my life here...making someone out of myself. If I want something, I need to make it happen. The Lord isn't just going to give me 'all things' unless I put hard work and sacrifice into it. I am the one, the one who needs to MAKE all my dreams come to life. I know that if I put my trust in the Savior he will guide me along, as long as I am doing all I can to put forth the effort to get there. The Savior is there...knocking on my door and let me tell you what, life is so much easier when you keep that door open, so he can always be welcome.

Maybe this is just me mumbling but I just felt I needed to write it down! :)

Random Funnies:

On Monday I along with a few of my roommates went to Cafe Sabor here in Logan. On the way there we drove past a funeral home and I thought to myself "I wander why the parking lot is so full at the funeral home..." Then I opened my mouth and asked this question to my roommates....yep! I sure did! I had to say it to understand my thought, then I laughed.

Went to dinner with friends from work at Texas Roadhouse, a successful night! We went to dinner then over to Ivy and Greg's (Ivy is the Asst. Resident Coordinator at my work, and she is so great!) apartment. Most fun I have had in a long time! Many inside jokes and giggles. A first night of laughs with many more to come.

(Steph! She is going to be my roommate next year, love her!)

Work...Alzheimer's Unit...Enough Said. I love these residents, I cannot help but giggle once and a while at the comments they make to me and/or others. Never a dull moment!

Well for the Summer I am planning on staying up here in Logan! I here it so much fun and I am very excited!! I will be living with one of the greatest girls on the planet...Ms. Mary Yates! I also am quite excited about it!

Until next time,

Love Me

Grateful!

The last few days I have felt the need to be more grateful and appreciative for all that I have been given in my life. There is so much I take for granted and just wanted to take a minute to make a list of all the things I am so blessed to have in my life!!

*The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ
* The Book of Mormon
*My Family
*My mother's patience
*My mother's love
*My father's forgiving heart
*The Atonement
*The love my Savior has for me
*Forgiveness
*Prayer
*Grandpa Pete and his solid Testimony of the Gospel
*and the desire he has to share it with everyone!
*The way Grandma Pete shows her love without saying a word
*Her desire to see each one of her grandchildren succeed
*Opportunities I have been given to obtain an education
*That I have the opportunity to work and love my work
*The sunshine and warmth it can bring to a soul
*The yard I (my parents :) ) have to work on and beautify


Today I was reminded how much I need to live this gospel, how much I need it in my life to keep my feet grounded. How much more I need to rely on my Savior. I love this Gospel more than anything!

PS. School is out in 21/2 weeks.

Happy Spring

"Does that woman ever shutup her weeping?"

This is what one of the residents (in the Alzheimer's unit) asked me last week. She was referring to another resident who had indeed been crying all day. Believe it! ALL DAY LONG!! I seriously feel this woman's pain...the crying was quite annoying, however I love the one that was making the ruckus!

My point: I feel like someone should be asking this question about me this week! I found these funny little comics today and thought they fit my current feeling right about now




I highly considered printing this beauty and putting it on my wall:



It is indeed THAT time of the school year...not to mention I worked 45 hours last week! It hasn't really affected me until now...working full time that is. So I am taking extra days off work to keep up with my school at least until finals are over!! Which is in 5 Weeks!! Yippee!! :)

Back to the books...
