As of late, I have felt as if my life is in a whirlwind.
In mid August these are the things I thought were going to happen....
Stay in Logan to finsih my prerequisite classes for Nursing
Continue working in Logan at the Legacy House
Live the life as an average college student
Work on getting back in shape and healthy!
By the end of August this is what actually happened....
Moved home (couldn't find housing I could afford) thinking "Oh I'll find something around the beginning of October. Girls are always getting married!"
About a week and a half ago I decided that I needed to stay home for this semester...not on my to do list.
Working Tuesday mornings at the Golf Course.
Transferring to Weber in the Spring or next Fall
Enrolled myself in a FITNESS CHALLENGE!
Winner wins a Cruise for two.
One week ago, I decided that I am going to transfer to the new Legacy Village in Layton.
The company offered my boss Jared the new Administrator position in a brand(spanking) new facility! So when the opportunity arose for me to go work for him down there--I felt great about it!
Surprised? Me too!
I feel quite blessed right now to have the opportunities aries as they have! It has definitely been an unexpected change, but I am quite content about it. It has definitely taught me to rely on the lord and put my faith in him that everything will work out.
And so it is...
My life as of late!

Thoughts and Mumblings
It has been ages since I have posted anything! This post is mostly for my personal use mostly so I don't forget. Sorry for the lack of pictures! Life has been crazy, busy, exciting, interesting, and a whole lot of fun! This summer has been filled with game nights, late night drives, music, laughs, work, sleep, North Carolina, lack of sleep, cliff jumping, sunburn, dreaming, wishing, and looking forward to new horizons!
North Carolina was a BLAST!! My cousin Krisha and her family are living there and I was fortunate enough to go spend two great weeks with them! I loved every minute--except for the effects of the sunburn! Unfortunately I kept my camera in my bag the ENTIRE trip!! But it was only because I was having too much fun! Thanks Krish for letting me come!
I have been on this cliff jumping kick the last week! Three times in one week; it is a very nerve wrecking experience. I always act tough right up until it is my turn and I'm standing on the edge looking down a 20 foot cliff and I start to second guess my decision of even agreeing to come! Also, no pictures from when I have actually gone! But hopefully we will go again so I can actually get some!
This is Greg jumping, it kind of gives you an idea :)
From the time this picture was taken to when I jumped today, the water had dropped about SEVEN feet! Before it was about a 15-18 foot jump, today about a 24-25 foot jump!
I am loving my work--more than ever! It has been so great to work with the people here, residents and employees! I work with some of the sweetest girls, some not so sweet, and some just flat out AWKWARD! But all in all, I love my job! I truly feel like this is my 'calling' if that's what you want to call it. I feel drawn to working with people and helping them in ways they cannot.
Music--I love you! This summer has brought some GREAT songs to life! My new favorite is Lady Antebellum-Our Kind of Love. I cannot even tell you how many times I have listened to this song (3 times since I started this post!). I love summer and the music it brings. I feel like lately has really been speaking to my soul. Sounds odd I know but a good song just really makes me think about my life and all that I am doing with it.
Mary-
She deserves a post in and of herself! My blessed roommate who has been wonderful! I am so sad she will be leaving me to continue her schooling at the University of Utah. But I am so happy for her! She will be a great therapist one day, I know because I consider her mine! This summer would not have been the same without her! I am so grateful that we have been able to live together before she moves! She has helped me to realize so much about myself and the person I want to become! Even if she doesn't know it--she definitely is one of the greatest people I know!
Love you Murry!
A few things I have become very grateful for in the past two months:
-The Priesthood. Knowing I have an amazing Father and Brother who hold the priesthood is so comforting! Also having some great friends that are worthy to hold it isn't a bad idea! :)
-Prayer
-Love and Support from my Mom
-Encouragement from my dad.
-Being able to experience the gospel in a new setting.
-Finding Strength in myself
-Learning to rely on my Father in Heaven
Here is a random picture of me and Jess (my other roommate) at a BBQ with some friends!
I will work on the whole picture thing, but for now, this will have to suffice.

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.
(From left: Jamilyn, Ivy, Greg, Steph, Me, Jared, Erin)
(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
