We all have a story to tell (:

Ahhhhhh and do I have the PREFECT story for you.
This post is not about me, my hilarious mishaps, my thoughts about life, but yet it still is a story.
Most people know I love them but if you don't I most likely do. That's just how I am. There are a few people I would like to know that they have impacted my life. Somehow all my words aren't coming out like I wished they would. These are not all the people that have impacted my life, just the few I wanted to talk about today (:
1. Rachel Mower- my cousin.
Rachel Mower, my beautiful cousin of the age 18. She's sweet, loving, kindhearted, but mostly STRONG. My Rachel has Crohns Disease. This is a disease she has to fight with every single day. Life gets hard for her a lot. When you're sick a lot it's hard to stay positive. Rachel lives each day with her whole heart, and fights this disease with all she has. I love her.

2. Carly Parr- my cousin
Carly Parr is my other beautiful cousin of 17. She is hilarious, outgoing, fun, sweet, a fantastic dancer, and a gorgeous person in general. She is the greatest person to be around. She has fought her battles and continues to every day. I love her.

I love these girls. I am so excited to get on that plane and see their lovely faces on Tuesday. Utah here I come (:

102 Days.

Well Folks, it's been exactly 102 days since my car left home and headed out west. Each day that I'm away from home I discover more about myself, my relationships, and my Heavenly Father. It's hard to place a time or a date to your life changing especially when it happens over a period of time and through many hard lessons. Now more than ever I realize the importance of relying on my Heavenly Father in all times, in all things, and in all places. I have such a testimony of the love my Savior gives me. He is my constant companion and he is my everything. At times things can get dark and things can get lonely. During these moments of trial we too often forget our divine worth. We were all sent here with a unique and special plan. We were destined for greatness and we were destined to allow ourselves to achieve that divine potential. I have learned to never give up on my Savior, because when I don't give up on him I don't give up on myself. These past 102 days have...

Coming to an end.

Considering my last post was in October, this morning I woke up and finally wanted to let the fingers type and do the talking. Since October my life has changed and I have grown so much. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and I also always knew that I have both of my parents running through my blood. What this means for me is that I have this incredible drive to push myself to limits that haven't been set. My beautiful mother gave me passion for education. She constantly sets the example of the most excellent educator and one day I hope to be as successful as she is and was in the classroom. My mother gave me the realistic expectations that come with teaching, such as not always getting my way or having things work out in the way I would like them to. Bless her soul for being my constant supporter. My father gave me the drive to work hard and to never give up. He works construction and there hasn't been one thing that he hasn't finished once he set his mind to it. He...

Knowing thy IMPACT

One day I'll get around to sharing the story about how I applied for and got my new job. I have to say that it most certainly is 100% credited to my Heavenly Father and his plan for my life. Often we don't see the things we need in life until things are put into our path that lead us in a different direction. For the purpose of this post I wanted to share some thoughts being on the outside of the beginning of a new school year. This is mostly for my teacher friends and those who start teaching this year so if you get bored, please do yourself a favor and stop reading. Being a teacher is a tough gig. Daily we make thousands of split-second decisions and impact people in ways we will never fully know the extent of. John Hattie once said, "know thy impact." Each day you'll strive to be better than the day before. You'll hope and pray that your babies (students) will learn something more than just "things." We'll hope and pray that they learn how t...
