A little odd mixed with a smile.

In a world full of black & white I've learned to be a different color. Some days I am grey, some days I am yellow, some days blue, so on. Finding that "happy medium" isn't as easy as it looks.

This was a record week in my life. I am learning to adjust to CONTACTS! After stabbing myself in the eye for a great amount of time I can see without my glasses! This should help improve my sight which is needed. I also am now EMPLOYED! I will be working at McAllisters Deli. It's the most darling little sandwich shop. It's a friendly, clean enviroment which will be nice. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life.

Today was CHRISTMAS! It's a day that millions of bright-eyed children look forward to the entire year. To some it's a reminder to remember Christ. To some it's a day to be with family. To some it's a day to receive and give gifts. To some it's nothing more than another day. To me Christmas is much more than the wrapping paper thrown around the house, new gifts on my bed, & lots of food in my tummy. To me Christmas is a beautiful reminder of how blessed my life is. I have been given the best gift anyone could ever ask for, I have been given a Savior. I have been given a best friend in Christ. After all the leftovers have been eaten, the family is all gone, the excitement of a new gift has worn off, my love and appreciation for Jesus Christ will be stronger than ever. I love him. I am so grateful!

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...

COVID

The world of COVID-19 has been a world I never imagined possible. While this time has taken away so many things I am grateful for the things it has given me. I've found my new normal and for someone who loves structure that has been a huge relief. I don't feel the need to do as much. I don't feel as rushed. I dropped my ipad on the tile today and cracked the screen pretty badly and I didn't even cry. Things have become things and my trips to Target don't seem as crucial anymore. I've been sewing. I thank my grandmas and my aunts for their love of sewing that is now ingrained on my heart. I watch a lot of TV. I do a lot of cooking. Who knew?

Dearest Utah

My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...
