Decisions, decsions
I didn't sign my teaching contract for next year, which makes me feel pretty lost. I've pretty much got a job at Bally Fitness as a personal trainer, which I'm SO excited about cuz it's something I've always wanted to do but I still feel really funny inside. I hate quitting things and not knowing what's going to happen next. Patience is a virtue I need to work on:). Levi and I are thinking about moving, I'm trying to fill out a million applications for teaching postions and whatever other jobs sound interesting. I've got two master's classes left and then I'm done with that degree, phew! Just feeling really anxious about everything lately. I'm sure whatever needs to happen will happen soon, I'm just not a fan of transitions. Todays Silver Lining: Levi's mom is coming to play tonight. Hooray! Hmm.. Another silver lining: My sister Lisa's dating an incredible guy, who makes her super happy. I still haven't met him, but they're getting pretty serious, so I will soon. Yipeee!

Summer
This blog is dedicated to Lindsey Wallace:) for inspiring me to blog again. There are 3 and a half days left until schools out. Wahoo! I love the blog she just did when Ashley "tagged" her, so I'm going to do one of my favorite things ever and copycat her.
1. What were you doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago I was fourteen and just finishing eighth grade. I was taking gymnastics at the YMCA as a level 6 and was ecstatic at the thought of getting my standing back tuck. My poor mom and dad were my spotters whenever I had the hankering to practice outside of gymnastics. I remember at first they said they didn't know how, but they tried anyway when I insisted. What troopers! I had just made the cheer team for my ninth grade year, and was excited to be with my old synchro partner, Sarah Tindall, my science buddies Tricia Hale and Julie LeSueur, and my ELP friend Chelise Bowden. We were really excited because there were eight of us and all but one of us was LDS. I was really goal oriented and thought I would absolutely die if I ever got a B in a class. I loved peer tutoring during my activity hour, where I never really tutored anyone, I just sat around and talked with friends and listened to my hilarious friend Crystal Solorzano, who is now my roommate. My family was about to move over to Lindsay and Brown, but I decided I was definitely NOT going to Mountain View (I ended up making the switch and went there all 3 years of high school.).
2. What were you doing five years ago?
Five years ago I was nineteen. I had just finished my first year of college and my first year away from home. It was a REALLY good thing for me to move out and be on my own. I roomed with my best friend from second grade, Cynthia Fife. We were both pretty quiet, but the rambunctious Caryn Rodgers brought some spice to our lives. She didn't seem to care what anyone else thought and had really strong opinions. She loved to pretend that people she had barely or never met were her boyfriends and she liked to play silly tricks on people. When I started my second year I met the dazzlingly handsome Levi Roberts. Every girl in Flagstaff wanted him, but somehow I convinced him to be with me! He was incredibly creative and made me feel like a million bucks. Yup, I lucked out!
3. What were you doing five months ago?
Five months ago I was getting ready to start my last semester of teaching, and beginning my three master's classes, and got the calling to make the ward program every Sunday, which is really fun actually.
4. Five things on my to do list today

Back in the Saddle Again
Okay, So I hardly ever blog and when I do I always think I'll post pictures later and then I never do. This has got to come to an end. I'm getting back on the blogging saddle and I'm not falling off the horse. I need to journal more and I love reading what's going on in other people's lives, so my new goal is to blog once a month at least. Right now I can't wait to have my master's degree. I'm really excited to look into getting my doctorate. Sometimes all the classes drive me a little crazy, but I truly love learning and can't wait to have kids and so they'll share my love.
