Student Teaching

A couple of weeks ago, I found out that I am going to be teaching 6th grade at Manila Elementary for my last year of college, I am so excited! I have always wanted to be a 6th grade school teacher, since I tutored a 6th grade class my Senior year in High School. So I am happy to get to finally do what I love to do, I can just tell this year will be a great year for me!:)

WHY?

I have done a lot of thinking lately. I have one question WHY? I don't understand life sometimes. I turned 25 about a month ago, and if you were to ask me 5 years ago, if this is how I think my life would be......the answer is No! I honestly thought that I would be married and done with school, well I have news for you neither has happened. Although one will happen next year, which I am so happy about. I just don't understand sometimes. People always say be patient it will happen, well these people that give you this advice were married at 21 or earlier......so no offense, but you really don't understand and therefore you have no say haha!
Now this may seem like this is one of those things that I am saying Wo is me for not being married, and it is not, but I just have to wonder WHY? However, I am so grateful for not being married just yet WHY you ask?

1. I get to finish school with out having to worry about putting my husband through.
2. I have had a fun single life, which I would not trade for anything.
3. I have been able to do whatever I have wanted to do.

After contemplating this I am truly grateful for the life I have had. And while I wonder WHY? I will be patient in this whole process (Thank you 21 year-olds, for your advice.) I think that it is dumb to dwell too much into it, because it just makes you depressed. Which I don't understand why we as Mormon girls worry about it so much. I think that it will happen when I least expect it. I know this is kind of a different post, from most people's happy post, but it has just been on my mind.

Silly Roommate!

So my roommate and I were having way to much fun one night. So when you have two Bored college students this is what you get... Enjoy! Love ya Shelley:)

What Conference means to me?

Well generally I love conference, but if you know my family we look at it as a wonderful holiday for not going to church and being in our PJ's. No we really enjoy it. Well this year Conference has had a different meaning....... What is it you ask? Well it means cleaning a ton, and My brother comes back home :) My brother will be home this Wednesday, and I can't wait. It is so surreal that he will be here in my home this Week I WON'T BE AN ONLY CHILD ANYMORE!!! This Conference I just wanted to be over, and don't worry enjoy it, so that it was closer to Wednesday......Well Guess what it is hear!!!! I don't know if you can tell that I am excited, but I am......I will keep you posted.

I am just a girl!

So my roommate asked me to go help her pick out make-up, and I said yes as always. Everyone has always asked me for advice about make-up since I was in junior high....I guess I just have a talent for it haha. Anyway we decided to go to Norstrom (My Favorite Store since Elementary School) and go to Bare Minerals. They put the Make-up on her and she looked gorgeous, so of course I asked if they could do mine, not going to lie I looked pretty good! So being the girl I am (and If you don't know me I am pretty girly) I bought the make-up. Don't ask me why I needed more make-up, I have so much I could open my own make-up counter,but I did. I won't tell you have much I spent, but just know that I feel good about it haha! I love Bare Minerals I had it before it became really popular and I am glad I have it again, so if you are questioning it, just do what I do BUY IT!!!!!!!

Less Than 2months!!!!

It has been awhile since I have done a post, but here I go! Someone very special to me left almost two years ago to Argentina. This day I will never forget, it was the worst day of my life. This was my little brother Richard. There is only two kids in my family and when he left I became the only child, (this pretty much sucks for anyone that wonders what it may be like.) The day we took him to the MTC was so hard for me, I did not ever want to let him go. When he left this meant that he was no longer that little boy who made me laugh, or my little buddy, but a man. I find myself thinking when he comes home, he could find a girl and get married. Not that I never want him to be married, but things will never be the same again when he comes home, and that makes me very sad. But on the other hand, I am so happy for him to come home! He will return home on April 8th!!!! I am so grateful for him, and he is the best little brother that anyone could ask for. I can't wait for all our fun family vacations and the talks till 2 in the morning. I just want the world to know that I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY BROTHER TO COME HOME!!!!!
