IT'S CRAZY TIME



Wow! This semester is just going! I can't believe that it is the start of FEBRUARY OF 2015! How does time pass so quickly? I would love to figure that out someday...it's so intriguing to me. 2015 has been good to us already.  We are blessed to both have jobs, to both go to school, and to keep learning every day.  I am still in shock that after April we will both be finished with school (at least for a little while).  It seems so crazy to imagine myself graduated from college, and to be honest, as excited as I am for that..I'm a little sad too. (#nerdalert)

In January I started as an intern at the Children's Hospital working within the Neurosurgical Department specifically within the Spina Bifida Program.  This internship has been a dream come true! I love my supervisor and coworkers, putting my knowledge to use in the real world, helping people who have different life challenges than I do, and simply working.  This internship has reaffirmed to me how much I love my major!  I'm so incredibly grateful that I was led to study in this field. 

Life lately has been interesting.  It took us a few weeks this semester to get situated in our new routine.  My weeks now consist of 30 hours of internship, nannying, and homework and G's are packed with 30 hours of work and 17 credits.  Even though we are so busy, we feel so happy and so much love for each other!  However, I've been in a bit of a weird place.  All of a sudden, I feel like I am being pulled in a number of ways.  I feel drawn to so many good things and almost overnight I have felt that my lifelong dreams and plans and aspirations are changing and I'm considering so many different options.  It's been hard for me, in all honesty.  I've always had an idea of what I wanted to be "when I grew up" and now different options are becoming possible and desirable realities.  I think the hardest part is just feeling unsure.  As I've felt all of these pulls and dreams and thoughts cloud my mind, I have learned to appreciate my loving husband who constantly offers support and advice and a loving Heavenly Father who allows us to receive personal revelation when we seek it.  I have experienced the joy and peace that comes from aligning our will with God's will these last few weeks in a way that I've never experienced before.  

And in case you were wondering why we looked like babies in that blurry iphone photo....this picture is in honor of going on our second date three years ago this last weekend to the Jazz game with Gordy's parents! (our first date was a blind date just three days prior to this date haha). I sure love this man of mine! It's so fun to see how far we've come. xo to my gordykins
