22 things about me at 22.

I've done this list for the past couple of years. It's a nice reflection of my life and what's going on. It's a little past my birthday now but better late than never.

1. I am currently watching the TV show Chuck and loving it.
2. I teach 2nd grade.
3. I hate winter/snow.
4. Diet Coke is still my downfall, but when I go to SWIG lately I've been getting a Dirty Dr. Pepper.
5. I've become a shampoo/conditioner snob. Only the best for my hair.
6. I've been trying to make biscuits successfully and keep somehow I failing.
7. I teach Sunday School.
8. I get on Pinterest to kill time or to relieve stress.
9. I got a gym membership.
10. I attend Zumba twice a week and I'm loving it.
11. The downfall of working with kids is I get sick..a LOT.
12. I walk across the stage at BYU in less than two weeks, but I don't technically graduate until June.
13. I'm taking Poli Sci 110 Independent Study class so I can still graduate on schedule. Thanks BYU for not catching that sooner..
14. I miss the Florida daily.
15. I still talk to my mom almost everyday on the phone.
16. I've finally started wearing heels/wedges occasionally. It's honestly a lot of work, but beauty is pain.
17. I left my flannel sheets on my bed until April.
18. I love to floss.
19. I'm getting a Utah Drivers License.
20. I bought a car last June. 2011 Camry.
21. I've learned to appreciate socks. Growing up in Florida I didn't wear socks much but now I can't sleep without them.
22. I have no idea where my life will be next year at 23 but I'm sure it'll be exactly where it needs to be.

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...

A Letter to Asher Rae.

Baby Asher, Your momma is currently in labor and in a few hours you'll make your grand debut into this world. From the moment I knew you were coming I was in shock and how much my heart could grow. I work with sweet children all day and I love them so much. The love I already have for you is so different. You'll be the first grandchild of my parents, and you'll be my first ever niece. You're coming into a world that is incredibly hard and difficult. With your amazing parents in your life you'll be taught how to be strong and to be valiant in all circumstances. Your dad, my brother, is an excellent human being. He is dedicated, he is a dreamer, he is a hard worker, and he will be the most amazing father. Your mom is so beautiful. She is loving, she is patient, and she loves your dad so much. Your grandma, my mom, is SO excited for you. She will love you and spoil you, but she will also help you when things get hard. Your Grandma Forsyth is a tough woman. The toughes...

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...
