Weekend

This has been one of the most exhausting weekends of my life. I worked a straight 28 hour shift Friday-Saturday.....but believe it or not, I loved every minute of it. My internship has been one of the coolest things I've ever done and I am learning some great things. Even though I sometimes work insane hours, I know that I am getting some of the best work experience out there. 

Luckily, I had this guy nurture me back to sanity, the poor kid had to hang out with me after 41 hours of no sleep.... I was quite delusional to say the least. 

Unfortunately, I don't get the day off today.... So even though more sleep would be greatly appreciated, I have to go to work :( 

Lovey Dovey

It's not my style to post lovey dovey stuff on this blog. But when a sweet boy surprises you with a candle lit dinner under the stars, I tend to forget why in the world I don't post these things! I wish I had a camera with me to document the awesome set up, but leave it to me to forget. Nevertheless, our candle lit Pita Jungle (my fav) dinner was the best. Thanks to everyone that helped my boy set everything up, you guys rock!

MIA

Work has consumed my life. Every. last. second. of. it. 

You will find me either passed out on the couch during my spare time, or smiling my life away with a certain someone. 

Life is fantastic right now. 

Alive

I'm alive! Just far too busy working to do anything with this blog! I'm sorry!

I'm putting in 60 hour weeks, and on the spare free hours I get, I've been spending them with good company!

I'll keep you posted, hope you guys are all having a great week!

Life Lately

I've been working long days, so my life hasn't been all that eventful. However, I've managed to capture a few shots here and there. 

The roomies and I took a trip to the "happiest place on earth". Which I refer to as Ikea. 

The girls and I at a YSA event last night. It was very interesting to say the least...

My newest creation....it only took me about 3 months to complete....

Soaking in the intern life lately. I do get fantastic views of Downtown Phoenix though!

We may or may not have spent 3 hours sitting on my couch playing this last night. As we sat next to each other the entire time. Technology will be the death of us!

Decisions

Lately, I've been consumed with a pretty big life decision. I'm going to pull one of those annoying blog quirks and keep this extremely vague for personal reasons, I apologize. 


Even though everyone has been telling me that I would be stupid to pass this opportunity up, I can't help but feel that it's not the right timing or that I'm not ready to leave. 


I was in church yesterday, reading through the program for this week's sacrament meeting. Sure enough, right there on the front of the page was something I needed to hear:

"When your heart is in the effort, you'll find a way to prevail against whatever may block your path. When your heart is in the effort, you'll be fully and effectively engaged every step of the way.

See, hear, feel and taste the end of the journey before you even begin. The more vividly you visualize and relate to the goal, the more energy you'll have to get there, Difficult as it may be, there is a path from here to there. Connect solidly with your purpose for going, and you'll surely complete the journey. " 

- Ralph Marston

Coincidently, I had the opportunity for someone to translate the French part of Ty's christmas video for me. I couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful advice he gave in those short minutes, it was yet again, something that I needed to hear and feel reassured.


Yesterday was one of those days, where you kinda desperately look out in the world for some sort of sign or answer to all your doubts. It was an amazing experience for me to realize that the answers are out there, sometimes on a church program and other times from the mouth of your best friends. But, it also helped me learn that I need to be patient, that not every answer comes to you in an instant. I am really looking forward to this process of making my decision. Although lately I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed about it, I know that my answer will come when I am ready. I love knowing that Heavenly Father is always out there helping us in some way or another to find our answers. Sometimes they don't come directly from Him, but I know that He always places the exact people in my life to help me get there. 

Oops

Well, what do you know, I've already fallen behind on blogging this year, million pardons. 

This week has been hectic to say the least. I've been in and out of meetings and trainings for work. Nonetheless, I survived the week, only to begin yet another crazy week. It will be my first week working 60+ hours.... and even though I am not too excited about that, it's only one more week till I get to see my kids! 

I also start my new internship tomorrow, and even though I am super excited, I am still wondering how in the world I am going to wake up at 6 am?! Wish me luck!
