Mothers Day

 I just bought this for myself for mothers day :)

As most of you know, I love swimming and plan on spending as much time at the pool before Anna gets here as I can. Can't wait for June!

Good enough?

When you find out you are having a baby, everything changes. Suddenly everything in life revolves around a little spirit that isn't even here yet. School plans change, work plans change, and somehow they still have to be in the picture once that baby gets here. Trying to figure all of this out is not going so well for me. If I can't get it all figured out now how am I ever going to do it with Anna? I'm scared and worried that I won't be a good mom or wife. What if I'm not cut out for it? Having a baby is exciting, but terrifying. I really don't know if I can do this and I'm scared to find out. Today is a crying day...

WEBER I HATE YOU

If you have been following the drama on facebook you already know all this and don't need to read this post, but if not....let me share!

This semester was supposed to be my last before applying for my professional program. As I got the application to start on it (6 months early) I found to my surprise that 3 classes that were previously optional are now required! Imagine my surprise.

Looking into completing these classes has only made things worse. I found out to get these classes done I won't be able to start my program until Summer 2012 instead of 2011 and will have to do 2 semesters at UVU and 1 additional semester at Weber. So that puts me behind 1 more year and like $4000.

I AM UPSET!!! Can you tell?

So I emailed the advisor today to tell him of my situation in detail (so long he will cry when he has to read it) and let him know he will be getting a phone call from me on Monday.

I found the legal documents stating a student has to be notified of changes to a program for rebuttal in case they say they can't help me out in any way. Either they will wave the classes or I will fight them in a hearing and get it waved that way.

I'm so mad but at the same time I love shoving it in their face that they were wrong not to notify me. Either way they will be hearing from me and things will be straightened out!

Okay vent over. Thanks for letting me yell a bit :)

Blessings

Sometimes when I don't think I can make it through or actually finish what I've started, the Lord lends me a hand. My anthropology class has been very difficult this semester and I was barely hoping to squeak by with a D. Today was my final and I was very afraid, I just needed a 35 and I studied for enough time that I could probably get a 50. Well I studied and prayed so hard Heavenly Father would be my companion during that test and....I got an 86! It was seriously a miracle. I am so grateful for the many blessings that I receive and don't deserve. I guess I must be doing something right in life or He wouldn't choose to bless me at all. I am just so thankful for the gospel in my life and a loving Heavenly Father that is always by my side and willing to give me a helping hand when I need it. Hope finals have all gone well for any of you readers that have to endure them!

I want to go to there

Spring break is next week and I am so excited that I get a week away from my students. I love them, don't get me wrong, it's just definitely time for a break. Sadly I won't be going anywhere exciting just hanging out in my house doing homework mostly. I just wish I was going to a far away land where I could forget all my worries and just enjoy sunshine. 
My first pick if I could go anywhere? 
Hawaii
I can picture it now...sitting on the beach, playing in the waves, enjoying fresh pineapple, and sleeping in every morning. Aww...now I'm just going to keep dreaming!
