Life is Good!

Life is good! I'm very happy with where I'm at right now... well for the most part anyway! I'm back in school, and I love it! I changed my bachelors degree to be an emphasis in family studies. I'll hopefully graduate in the fall of next year. My plan is to work for DCFS, and try to get into their master's program at the U to get my master's degree in social work. My ULTIMATE goal someday before I die is to start a shelter for victims of abuse using pet therapy! I love pets and working with victims of abuse, so I feel like that would be the most perfect job in the world for me!!!

Besides school, I usually like my job. I work at a clothing store. It of course comes with some drama- that's what you get when you work with all girls, but for the most part there's not much drama. It's fun to ring customers up and get to talk to such a wide range of people. There are of course the annoying customers, the rude customers, but then there are the super awesome customers which make up for all the bad ones!

I'm starting to work out pretty much everyday. I actually really enjoy it. I'm going to get back in shape! I like running and doing zumba. There's also a disco work out that is super fun!!! Someday I'm going to do a sprint triathalon! I'm actually running my first 5k in like 3 weeks! I'm super excited, but a little nervous!

I got invited to go to a family studies conference in November in Orlando Florida, so hopefully I'll be doing that. I also got invited to join a research team, and we'd be presenting at the same conference next year, but that one will be in Arizona!!! I feel like since I changed my major I have a lot of opportunities opening up for me. Plus if I ever have the chance to get married again it will help me to be the best wife and mother I can be. Well... hopefully! :D

I'm the pianist in primary. I LOVE it. I love being around all the little kids. Plus the primary presidency and the primary chorister are AWESOME! My home ward is great and I really feel like I'm cared about and that I fit in. My ward has amazing people. Plus, my ward has a lot of people who have been through the same kinds of things I have been through, so it's really nice to have that support.


YAY FOR LIFE!!!
