Loving Life!

Wowowowowow! Life is too good right now. I just can't stop thinking about how happy, blessed, and excited I am for upcoming adventures in my life! I feel like the luckiest girl with the best family and friends!

My sister Erica just got a job at the same school I am going to be at! Can you say party?! I can! I love hanging out with Erica, she is honestly one of my best friends...and not just because we are sisters but if we weren't sisters I know we would be best friends! We just get each others' humor. We are currently going through a phase of sending each other really stupid but funny animal pictures. Other people may think we are weird or annoying, but I think we are hilarious.

I just have nothing to complain about because my life is so good!

I don't mean this to sound brag(y), or annoying. I just feel like my life the last year has been in such a rut and I think most of it is because I wasn't recognizing how lucky and how good my life is instead of focusing on how blessed I am.

From this day forward...I am making it a goal to live life to the fullest and appreciate more what I do have.

rant over.

I'm a BEAR!

I will always be a true Spartan at heart but I have to put on the face of a bear for the next few years. I am now a 7th grade Language Arts teacher at Robert Stuart Middle School in Twin Falls!

I am so excited, relieved, nervous, and happy all at the same time! Heavenly Father really puts us where we need to be especially where we would least expect it.

I always saw myself teaching in Utah, that is just what I envisioned my life looking like after graduation. I always knew/hoped I would one day want to live close to home but I just didn't think it would happen this fast!

I was not really even considering staying around home but while job searching one day I found the job opening at Stuart, decided to apply and within a couple of weeks I had a job! I tried really hard to get the jobs I thought I wanted-driving down to Utah several times in the last month taking resumes trying to get my foot in the door somewhere but nothing just seemed to be working out. So I know this was a part of Heavenly Father's plan for me and not mine! Nonetheless I am so excited and so happy to be moving on to this step in my life.
