A moment

There is a moment when the body has entered exhaustion, and there is so much left to do.  In this moment, I look around at the sea of people enjoying themselves thoroughly and relishing in the event I put so much time and effort into. 

For me, this is a moment of utter joy.

My feet ache. My eyes are tired. I feel elated.

Taking the Event Management course on SUU's campus offered me an opportunity to live a dream I never knew I had. And with my new job, I am getting paid to do something that I enjoy and that I'm good at. 

It's a blessing to work with such amazing people and learn from the best. Some things were said about me during the event and the next day that make me feel like I have been successful in my tasks thus far. I cannot wait to further explore events and continue learning. 

Here are some photos of the Forever Red Homecoming Celebration on September 28, 2012:

Very beginning of event.

The sea of people.

Yay! People!

I love the #tbirdnation.

A quick shout out to all my sweet friends who came to the event:

Thank you! Thanks for the treats, diet cokes, and surprises. I love you all! You made it special for me.

Print Making

Jessica, Me, Sam
Exhaustion

Today was wild. 

I spent 8 hours helping Sammy make his graduation announcements.

We were in the Silk Screen Print Making lab (something like that). 

I wasn't aware that SUU has such a lab.

I was whining for a minute and Sam said something out to me: "Well, you can check this off the list of major possibilities."

That is a great way to look at it.

So, I'm now going to be ruling out potential majors instead of trying to force myself into selecting one.

To you graphic design majors, you have powerful brains.

I couldn't do it.

Title-less

Hi, remember me? That goofy ginger with too many words? Yeah, that one. I'm just here to tell you that things are good. School is back in session. My first day of Spanish (this semester) was today. Yeah, I have {lots} of homework and fortunately I don't understand it. HOLLA. Please tell me you can read sarcasm. Tomorrow is Wednesday and that means only one class (besides institute), so things are looking up.


I hope you're all watching the Bachelor each week. Entertainment at it's finest. And just as a side note: I'm a closet Hulu addict. I watch way too many shows. If you ever want to discuss a popular show on Hulu, there's a good chance I watch it. Call me, beep me whenever you need a gossip sesh about the tele.

And just for good measure, here's a thought I stole from someone. I can't remember who. Oops.

Positivity.

I totally have a Southern Utah accent. hahaha!

Ending

As I laid out on the lawn in MY backyard last night star gazing, I thought a lot about this summer. It is sadly coming to an end. I love summer so much. Each summer I learn so much about myself and those around me. I am so grateful for the people that I surround myself with. It's such a blessing to have uplifting people in MY life.

Sure, I make mistakes. Lots actually. BUT I'm learning how to come back from these mistakes. I'm learning how to patch them up and move on. I'm very lucky to have loved ones that deal with MY shortcomings.

School begins again soon and I'm not welcoming it with the attitude I should. I need to have more gratitude that I GET to go to school. It's a privilege that many don't have. I will be very busy dealing with MY hectic schedule, but no good comes from idleness, so I guess I'm lucky to be busy.

I've chosen to be the live in nanny for a family I love dearly. They are a huge gift to me and bless me so much. It's a miracle to have been able to watch these kids grow and watch their personalities bloom. I hope and pray that the experiences I have had and will have with these kids will make me a better person and one day a better mother. I sure hope that they will give me lots of funny moments to blog about.

Anyway, I'm so lucky to be at this point in MY life where I can do anything and be anyone I want. I look forward to this year (minus the snow) and the lessons that will come each day.

Christ lives.

God knows all.

Pray often.
