Weddings? I love weddings!

I have decided that my posts are just a dumping ground of nonsense thoughts that don't really ever connect but that really probably won't change so I'm sorry.

This last week was CRAZY!! I moved out of my apartment FINALLY!!!! I liked my roommates but I getting stir crazy in that place for some reason. I just needed out. I need something new to help spice up my life. Three years was more than enough. Anyways, I moved home for a week until my new contract starts.

Thursday night we had a big joint family BBQ for Jeff and Brittney's wedding and then blessed little Ryan. It was a big day. Earlier that day I had moved most of my stuff so I was super tired. After the blessing, we split up and the girls went up to SLC to a karaoke bar for Brittney's family Bachelorette party. It was super funny and everybody was good sports about it. The four brothers just went over to Greg's place and played Starcraft for several hours. They would...I am confident we had more fun but whatever.

Friday morning, after getting about four hours of sleep, I got up and went to my graduation. It was good to finally close the last door on my undergraduate degree. Hurray for being an alumni of BYU! We then had family lunch at our house that afternoon, I went back to provo to clean out my apartment and then went to Greg's Graduation ceremony (He got an MBA from BYU!) Then I came home, ate dinner about 9 and then crashed.

Saturday was the big wedding day. From start to finish it went off pretty well without a hitch and they looked like they were on the moon! I am SO happy to have another sister in the family and I love Brittney so good job to Jeff for picking a good one.

(This is a long post...My bad!) One thing that kind of stuck in my mind yesterday was how I think I might be a bridezilla when it's finally my turn. This was my fourth family wedding so I am no stranger to helping my brothers/ mom plan a wedding. Also, I have had several friends get married so I guess I have seen things done differently and I just keep thinking how I want to do it. My mom always jokes that all that is missing for me is the groom. Thanks mom. Like I need the reminder. Anyways, there were a few blow ups yesterday sadly they always seem to involve me and at one point Jeff said to me "You will understand when it's your turn, actually you probably won't because it's you." Ouch. Yup, it's true that I am opinionated and I want things to go my way. Is that so bad? I guess I will just wait until it IS my turn and then you can bet they will go my way or else. HAHA! I promise I will be nice. At least I hope I will be.

Weddings. There is nothing like a wedding to help you remember that you are single. It's cool though, because I know he's out there somewhere and he's going to amazing when I finally find him. He will have to be to counteract all this nonsense that I have to put up with in the meantime. And the law does state there is opposition in all things right?

My So Called Life

Many of you have been asking what my plans are and well, I would even like to know the answer to that. Here is a general run down of how things are looking, at least for right now.

I am moving out of my apartment this week and into a new one. Where? Not sure. I found a really cute one that I like yesterday but we will see. I need a fresh start and moving is going to be a good change.

While I was in Denver at the RMATA convention (for those of you who don't speak athletic trainer that means Rocky Mountain Athletic Trainer's Association)I interviewed for a graduate assistantship at the University of New Mexico. I know, I know. I never wanted to go back to school, nor did I ever want to move to Albuquerque. However, in talking with them, I discovered that this would be a really great opportunity for me and I changed my mind. :o) I am a girl after all... So after a lot of soul searching and praying,I accepted. And then they told me that I was too late and someone else had already taken the position.

So back to step one. I still think I want to go to grad school. So I have kept looking for other schools. I sent in an official application on Friday. Yay! I also am still talking with my high school about becoming their athletic trainer. So stay tuned. Who knows what will happen in my crazy life. I am just praying that something happens.

Some Food For Thought

Several things are on my mind today after the awesome weekend so while they are random and not connected, they are nevertheless each interesting. Here goes nothing.

Spring is finally here! The weather is like an obnoxious yo-yo which is usually a good indicator that spring has come after many long and miserable weeks of snow. It will keep snowing, don't get me wrong, but now we get a few days of 60 degree sunshine sprinkled in too. Case in point: a white Easter? What??? Wrong holiday, weather...

I am trying to spend as much time as I can with Greg and Jenny and the little ones while I can before they leave. We went to the park last week before the weather turned to crap. Then we all spent the majority of the weekend at my parent's house. It has been so much fun having them so close for as long as its been. I will miss them lots when they move.



With Lindsey and Ryan both vying for my attention, it was difficult to pay attention to general conference but I did my best. We did play dough, colored, legos and annoyed my cats. It was good times.

Before Conference started on Saturday morning, I made a list of questions I needed answers to. It is sort of a tradition of mine for conference. Anyways, even with as little of conference as I was able to focus on, every single one of my questions was talked about. I have such a strong testimony that our prayers are heard and answered. I am grateful for Conference and the opportunity that I had to watch it. I look forward to watching it/ reading it again in the coming weeks so I can get a little more out of it.

The past two weeks or so has been a continued trial in my life. The Lord is really pushing me right now to do and be better. Some days are better than others. As I watch my grandma continue to slip, it gets harder because I know the end can't be far away. I miss my sister and hope she is growing daily.

Well that is about all that my little brain can hold. It you could follow all of that, congratulations.
