Change is good!

So tonight was my last night working at Deseret Book. I've been there about 10 months, and overall it's been a really great job and I have loved the chance I've had to work there. Some of my co-workers tonight were sooo sweet saying goodbye to me. It made me appreciate all the sweet people in my life. Friends, family, roommates, church leaders, co-workers, the list goes on...I really am blessed with an incredible support system. I'll be starting my new job at Prosper, Inc. and I'm excited to try something new! Orientation is Monday morning (I'm not skipping a beat!), and I will probably be working about 30 hours a week (and still doing school full-time through June). It'll be kinda nuts, but I love being busy and I like change! I'll keep you all posted :)

The Waiting Game Continues!

Well...I finally (after months of waiting) was able to turn in my application to attend the BYU-Jerusalem center this fall semester! I turned it in last week, and should find out if I've been accepted around April 16th. It'll be so nice to just KNOW! I would absolutely love to go, and really hope I get the opportunity, yet if I don't...there are a lot of great benefits as well. For example, if I don't go to Jerusalem for a semester in August, I'll be able to graduate next April, and I'll also have a lot of money saved, which would make either a mission or a masters degree very possible (two other dreams of mine). We'll see which dream(s) happen - either way, the next few years should be exciting!
I'll keep you all posted.

Trying New Things :)

So my best friend Josh and I have been trying new, fun things when we both have Saturdays off (which is very rare).
A couple of weeks ago we went to the driving range. First of all, I was so excited that it was warm enough to be outside (I love the sun!!!), and I was pretty proud of myself for being able to hit the ball...and even consistently hit it straight! I'm going to have to have a golfing date with my dad this spring, and go "real golfing" for the first time...I feel more prepared now!
Just yesterday, Josh and I decided to try snowshoeing out since neither of us had ever gone before. Again, it was another beautiful day, and we picked a random place up Provo Canyon and explored on snowshoes! So spontaneous, but so fun. Here are a few pictures from both. :)
