Wow! It really has been too long. I've been doing another journal on the side and have been neglecting this blog. It's really fun to look back on and funny that I haven't written since I got my job at the hospital as a CNA! Well I am now a new nurse working in Labor and Delivery! Let me just tell you it is super intimidating to be a young, new nurse trying to give new moms advice when you haven't even had kids yet. Although I feel inadequate when I look at the big picture it is amazing how much I do know and how much I have learned. It is kind of exciting to think that this job will help me take care of babies of my own when they are sick someday. My parents took Jordan and I on a trip to Vegas since I have never been. My FIRST time to Vegas was a success. One day there was probably enough though. I have never seen so many crazy people in my life. There was a midget Elvis, big bird, scantily clad nuns, Zack Galifinakis, Chris Farley, Captain Jack Sparrow, Micheal Jackson, and you name it! People feel like they can just be whoever they want to be and escape reality I guess. Golfing was really fun. It is something I have accepted that I have to become good at since Jordan is so good and I am actually starting to enjoy it. My parents are so amazing. I truly hope to be like them when I am a parent. They are so patient and know so much about the gospel. I am really excited for Conference this year. Something I want to get out of it is how to receive revelation for myself and my family. I feel that is a part of my testimony that could be strengthened and sometimes feel that others receive it much more easily than I do. I realize that we have agency to make choices but sometimes wish I had more distinct promptings to lead me toward decisions. I think a lot more would come with simplifying my life.
I tried skiing with my Dad for the FIRST TIME. I want to do it again!
I have loved being on this "Inspirata" dance team through CSI. I have found that I am happier when I dance. It is a bit more "edgy" than I am used to but I enjoy the challenge and diversity. I hope to have a dance studio in my future house someday. I would love to have it so that the sun comes in the studio just right so I can see the sun set from the window and dance. A girl can dream right?
We went to the show "O" or Cirque de Soliel! It was amazing! I can now cross Vegas off my bucket list! I love being able to experience things for the first time. It gives me a sense of wonder and makes me feel like a kid. I hope we can always have that outlook on life and look for lots of opportunities to experience "FIRSTS"
