"Sometimes that mountain that you've been climbing is just a grain of sand"

So life hasn't exactly gone the way I wanted it too lately but when does it ever.  It's funny how some things can consume you, body, mind, and soul, and it clouds every thought and makes every decision harder than it is already.  Not getting into the Special Education program at USU is one of the many doors that has shut, but i'm ready to start opening new ones. So the Lord's plan is not exactly what my plan would be but it all works out in the end. So I woke up this morning, and I had food in my fridge, warm clothes to put on, and car full of gas to take me where I needed to go.   So I went about my day with a smile and did what I do everyday, I thanked the Lord for all the blessings in my life, I made crafts with children at preschool, I talked about hot tubs to people that have stories to tell just like me, and at the end of day, I go home and  I feel good about who I am and what I did that day.  I have a lot to be thankful for and sometimes that mountain that you've been climbing is just a grain of sand, and as a really good friend of mine that I love, says "life does get better." :)

I'm going to give it another try....

So I started blogging over a year ago and then just ran out of time to keep blogging. So I'm going to give it another try! Today is raining and cold and all I can think of is going bare foot and laying in the grass under the warm sun. Instead I'm at work trying to sale a hot tub....but instead of make a sale on a hot tub, I'm blogging ha! So I just got back from O'ahu, Hawaii last weekend and I just can't help feeling so proud of the men that fought for our country and that fight for our country today. I visited Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona, and the USS Missouri and my heart was just overwhelmed with gratitude for these men especially my father because they volunteered to protect our country.

FREEDOM is awaiting....

So i'm finally done with exams and so ready for summer!! I'm still in Utah and loving the weather!!! I'm staying with my family, "the porter's", and enjoying there company!!! Rachel said the funniest thing this morning to me and Emily because we woke her up late last night! She called us "sucky butts" haha. But I'm just packing and playing outside and getting ready to go on my southern Utah trip!! My mom is flying out here on the 7th and Ryan, my mom, and I are heading to St. George, Zion's national park, Moad, and Lake Powell!!!! My cute little kitty, Buddy is so cute but a little wild boy. He was exploring the upstairs balcony and walked out onto the lower roof and lost his balance....and yes went head first down to the ground! He was okay just really freaked out! But for our latest adventure Ryan and I took Buddy up to Rick's Spring in Logan Canyon! He is a true cougar! He just started jumping up the side of the rocks and playing in the caves!!! He is such a cutie!
