Adventures Ahead.

Life is good right now.
I get to read a lot.
I finished about one book a week. 
I have this fear that I'm going to run out of things to read. 


Tysen and I are on a soccer team. 
Our first game is on Wednesday.
Also Tysen's 23rd birthday!!! Hooray. 


Next weekend we are going camping for May long.
Just him & I.
I'm reaaaaaally excited.


A couple weeks after that we will be going Las Vegas for my Uncles wedding.
I'm really looking forward to laying by the pool and cooking that skin of mine.

Find the true value of a moment.

In my final English class today we talked about mass media and how when people are in crowds they aren't themselves, also how this world is becoming a place where you don't live a private life anymore because everything is public.
We advertise how we are feeling, what we are wearing, where you are, what you're doing.
That kind of stuff.

I hardly posted on twitter to begin with but whilst reading twitter posts of the people I follow I noticed 90% of the posts I was reading were people complaining, talking about all the negative sides of life and their day. Why do I want to read that? 
This is just my personal opinion by the way I'm not trying to convince people that twitter is a 
bad thing I am just saying it's not for me. 

A negative mind will never give you a positive life.

So I quit twitter. 

I want to live a more private life. 
Think about it, when you meet up with old friends how many stories about your life are you going to be able to tell? 
I predict not many because we post everything as soon as it happens.
Chances are you won't tell that friend any exciting news because you already posted about it. They already know. 

Next thing you know 
We start to live and do things just so we can post about it.
I've been there.

So here is a challenge, you don't have to take it.
But fight that urge to post about what your doing and make a few memories that only you and your friends know about, have stories to tell that are more than 140 characters long.

Sappy Sunday

"In selecting a companion for life and for eternity, planning and thinking and praying and fasting should be done to be sure that of all the decisions, this one MUST NOT be wrong."
-President Spencer W.  Kimball 

I am so grateful for my husband.
I know we were brought together when we both least expected it but I know it was for a reason. 
I know that out of all the decisions I have ever made this was not wrong.

Speaking of decisions and my husband, I'm so blessed to have him to help me through decision making processes. Without his knowledge and point of view I'd be a confused mess very often. 

I'm so grateful for love and all the joys it brings.

I realized I haven't written for awhile, and that's probably because I feel like I need to write for entertainment. I think I forget that this blog is mainly for me to look back on. I doubt y'all will look back on my blog 5 years from now to see how my life has changed. 

Let me tell you though, I'm very satisfied with my life.
Yes, school is stressing me out.
I'm ready for a break.
But I'm grateful that I am able to be in school and that I'm pursuing something I never ever imagined I could because I did NOT give myself enough credit and didn't try.

Currently I am going to school to be a Medical Assistant and then eventually work my way up to be a surgical nurse. 

I'm surprisingly doing well in my Anatomy & Physiology classes and loving them, but yet again I'm burning out and I'm ready for a break. 
I can now watch Bones and actually understand what they are saying. That sometimes scares me because a couple months ago I'd watch the show and hope they'd translate what they are talking about. Now I beat them to it. 
I thought I'd brag about that. 
Tysen and I love watching Bones. 

The class I am probably going to miss the most though is my Medical Law & Ethics class.
My teacher is fantastic! He's an attorney and does an amazing job turning our class into a court room and getting us to debate with our class mates. 

The best part about my life though is definitely my husband. 
I love living with him more and more every day. 
He's my best friend.
We have so much fun together.

Lately we've been dreaming about life after graduation and where we'll end up.
We fall in love with the idea of moving to Texas more and more every day.
Every day I give Tysen one reason why we should move there and now he does the same to me.
I wouldn't be surprised if we end up there. It'll be nice to have a BIG change, it's also crazy to think that after we graduate we aren't limited to going back to Canada or Northern Idaho but we can go ANYWHERE we want. 
But I'm crossing my fingers for Texas. 

So yup, this is our life thus far.
