Brother's Are Da BOMB!

So after a hard week of not understanding life, I decided to talk to my amazing brother. Although my brother is 4 years younger than me, he is an extremely smart and wise man. I have often wondered where would I be with out my brother in my life? We have both been through hard times and good times with each other and I love him so. Anyway my brother gave me good advice, which I have followed....IT HAS WORKED! My life has more understanding then it did before, so thank you Ricardo Retardo for always listening to me, and for the advice!

It is also weird to think that he will be moving down to school in a couple of weeks. He has just decided that he is going to be a Radiation Oncologist and follow some what in my amazing Mother's footsteps, so I just want to wish him Good Luck with school and his life. I am grateful that I can be apart of his life always :)

Daddy's Girl

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

My Dad is the greatest man I know. He is my strength and my light in hard times. When I am having a bad day he knows just what to say. I am so proud to call myself a Daddy's Girl, and have the amazing relationship I have with my Dad. I am grateful for a father who loves me. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!

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.

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.
