School


This is what I have been thinking about school:

  • go to U of A

  • get my ASL interpreter certificate
  • while I do my ASL then go to school to get my master's in Special Ed

These have been my thoughts the last couple of days. I really want to go back to school. I need to figure out when it possible for me to go. January or next fall? I am doing some study and pondering of the spirit.

Memories

1. Leave one memory that you and I had together, as a comment on my blog. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. Have a nice little trip down memory lane!

Special Olympics

On Saturday I participated in the Special Olympic Triathlon. It was a 50 meter swim, 2.5 mile bike and 1/2 mile run. I did the swimmin part of the leg. It was great experience to help out the team. To see more about the evet click on http://www.specialolympicsarizona.org/. One of my friends works for the Special Olympics in Chandler and asked if I would help a girl on the team. I was delighted and had a lot of fun. Many of you know I love special needs kids and have worked with them for many years. I am looking forward to the time when I can do that everyday. I have made a decision to go into special ed it has been a huge decision for me.

Being a FRIEND

Friendship is a hard thing for me to grasp right now. I have had some situations in my life that I have had to take a step back. I am trying to find how to be that kind of friend that I need to be. What is a friend? How do we acquire a friend? What are some kinds of things that we look for in a friend? Here are some quotes that I have found to a better friend. I know that I am not perfect and need help. "A friend is someone who is there for you when she'd /he'd rather be elsewhere." "A friend is one who knows you, but LOVES you anyway." (Jerome Cummings) I love this one "A good friend remembers what we were and sees what we can be." We are all children of God and need to see each other as He does and see what He sees. "A friend is someone who reaches out for your hand...and touches your heart." That is one thing that I am studying right now is to have a pure heart, kind heart, soft heart, loving heart, willing heart, patient heart, humble heart, and having a compassion. I know with all these things takes time and that it is not going to come over night. Day by day I can accomplish these with the Lord's help to be a better friend. Being able to be there for someone who needs a shoulder to cry on. I have to often think what would the Savior do?

"Friendship isn't how you forget but how you forgive. Not how you listen but understand. Not how you see but how you feel. Not how you let go, but how you hold on!"

Being an aunt is the best!!


I found out over the weekend that my sister Sara is pregnant! I am excited to an aunt again!! She was going to surprise us all at once but someone was snooping around in her purse and found the pregnancy test and told most of the family. My step-mom told me Saturday morning and then Sara called me later that day to tell me. Most of my family members knew that she was pregnant 2 months ago. I just found out.
