Moving on!

Well, graduation is over and I have made the big move back to Utah. Things are going great with my new job. The cats and I are trying our hardest to adjust to the weather change. (I should mention that it snowed my first week of work!)

It's amazing how fast time goes by when chapters in my life close and another opens. My new life here in Utah will be full of exciting opportunities and wonderful memories with loved ones. To all of those I have left behind in other states...I want you to know that you are thought of everyday and missed so dearly.

Still here?

So... you may (or may not) have been wondering what in the heck is going on with me. It's been a while since I have posted anything new because there has been soooo much going on.

Work has slowed down a little for me and my tasks don't seem to be quite as important to the company as they were in the past. (I guess the word is out that I'm leaving?)

School has been super hectic and I find myself having an anxiety attack on nearly a daily basis. It's not due to the current classes and tests I'm taking but the preparation for taking the National Boards. But I am trying to overcome the nervousness this test gives me and know that I will pass without breaking a sweat.

My social life has been put on hold. Actually, I think it has since I moved to Mesa...my choice that is. I am completely okay with this since I have enough pressure with school, work, and bills.

Graduation is only 66 days away and I'm ready. I know the excitement is not there yet but after the boards, that will change. The family will be out including the possibility of my two Aunts from back east which is very cool! Several students in my class have voiced their opinion of the lack of importance of a community college graduation. And all I have to say is, well, that's their opinion. This experience has required hard work on my part and I am proud to say that I have nearly accomplished one more thing in my life. (I say nearly because I will not be fully satisfied till I have that license in my hand.)
I will walk across that stage on May 14 2010, proud of my work, as a member of the International Honor Society of Two Year Colleges... Phi Theta Kappa!

What's new?

It's been a while so I thought I would clean things up and mention what's been going on. I ended up working full time while attending 2 summer classes at school. It was a busy summer and it flew by way too fast. I received employee of the quarter which was pretty cool.
Last week I had the chance to go home and visit family in Salt Lake. It was GREAT! The trip started out with a car show in Park City. There were sooo many nice looking rides at this mustang show that I was not expecting to win. Well...I did! My girlie mustang (that I love so much) won an "Award of Excellence" position from the show. I was so excited!



My time with my family was priceless...as always. I love them so very much and miss them even more as I get older and time seems to pass by so fast.






Today was my first day of school attending the Mortuary Science Program. It is nice to be able to be learning what really applies most to my career and not just going through the motions of these silly extra classes. (Even though an education is an education and it is still healthy to be learning something.)
The next 2 semester are going to be hectic but wonderful. I look forward to learning more and growing within the industry which is truly a ministry.
