Kings and Queens!

So I realized that in my last post I didn't explain enough about the train ride; when I had thought that I did. Well so my ward had an overnight camping trip up in Midway and we all when on a train ride on the Heber Creeper. It was very cold because it rained the entire time but other than that it was fun.

So for the 4th of July I went with my family up to Sugar House Park and we watched the huge fireworks burst right over our heads it was gorgeous! Later on that week had a BBQ with some of the wardies for my birthday. I also celebrated with my family later on and it was a pretty good birthday! Played night games with friends in my ward another night then spent the rest of that night socializing.

I have come to realize that we are all kings and queens in charge of our own lives. We have to decide when to change and if we need to change. Sometimes we can't see the change and it takes a while to see it. Other times it takes someone else pointing out that we need to change. Change can be hard at times; and sometimes it just seems so hard that we don't want to do it. Yes it is so much easier to give up and not work for something that we want; and all just because it seems hard. Well for me I needed a change. But we have to take risks and have a little faith that everything will turn out alright. So I am starting school on August 2 at Stevens Henager College I will get my Associates Degree in 20 months in Medical Specialties.

School is going to take over my life for the next 20 months but it will be good even though I am a little freaked out about school and wondering if this will be all worth it and I am a little freaked out about wondering if I can do it! I really hope I can and I really want this to work out. Cause I don't want to be stuck at community college for another 10 years. So this is my only good option right now for school. I just hope that my life doesn't get anymore crazy that it will by August 2nd, I just really want to be able to handle school and get done with homework.

There are some really amazing people in my ward that are such good examples to me. They help me to want to be a better person. I have been thinking about the story of Hannah lately and how she would go to the temple everyday and tell the Lord her problems. Oh how I need to start going to the temple once a week again. I also need to start doing my Stake calling again and find out who is the the co-chair over everyone in my Stake calling. My Stake calling is the only one calling that I haven't been doing right now. So I need to get on it, and step it up.

Life Under the SUN!

So the train ride was fun, though it was so cold it rained the entire time. In the morning since they had a lame breakfast a group of us in the ward went out to eat for breakfast in Midway and that was fun. Sunday I taught the lesson and I was so nervous for the first ten minutes then I calmed down, but everyone told me I did such a good job which made me happy. I would love to teach again so I hope I get another chance because I loved it even though I was nervous. So then we started getting really really HOT weather, which I absolutely love! Also I went to guess who's coming to dinner and that was a blast. Then on Saturday I went and had a BBQ party with some friends of mine from institute and has been 3 years since all of us have been together in one place; so it was good to see them again.

Friday after work I went with Nicole to Mona and we camped out with some of her friends from Logan; it was good to get away. Then the next day we went swimming and we were going to go hiking but we were very hungry so we got food. We went to where we were staying for the night in Manti and then we got cleaned up a bit; and then went to the Pageant which was so awesome and fun. I crashed as soon as I got into bed; and since I had to be visit taught after church, Nicole and I went home and made it in time for sacrament meeting. Then went to the mingle and talked to a bunch of people. Finally I went home and had dinner with my family and then we had FHE with my aunts family. I went to Jen's place after FHE with my family, and few of the wardies were there and we played games it was a blast. I went to work early on Monday because I was so tired from the weekend. Went to Fhe after work and I got to see some fireworks which was awesome. Then I went with Julio and Rhett and got some food which was fun.

Wednesday I went swimming with Jen and Jourdan; and it was awesome since it was such a Hot day; and we got food at Sonic. Thursday I got my nails done and I got a pedicure which was so nice to do. After work I met up with a group of the wardies up at the capital to watch Sandlot. It was a blast and so warm out, perfect weather for watching a movie outside. Saturday I am going with my family to watch fireworks some where for the 4th of July. In the Book of Mormon I am finally done with Jacob chapter 5 I need to be in Mosiah but I don't see that happening just yet. But I plan to read a ton on Saturday so hopefully I will be in Mosiah by then.
