Zion's Adventure

So this last weekend, I was asked unexpectedly to go to Zion's National Park w/a few friends, and it was sooo much fun! I had never been there before, so everything was new and exciting.  Reece is a friend I made over the summer through work and church, Travis is his roommate/cousin, and Megan is in their ward.  It was so fun to get to know her better.  I met her once before, but this was the first time I really got to chat w/her and spend a couple days with her.  I love making new friends! 

We took a ton of pictures, but they do not even come close to capturing the full experience.  It definitely was an adventure I will never forget. :D

Inspiring Quote

I love this quote. When I am down on myself, or when I see others down on themselves, this is a one that I always think of.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." --Marianne Williamson

Winter 09 Semester--Week 2!

Wow, I can not believe how fast life goes by! I am half way through my second semester of the year--I am now officially a 'Senior' credit wise. After this semester I will have about 6 classes left to graduate. I am splitting them up among 2 summer terms. This fall I will hopefully be interning at a school in the Wasatch School District (Heber/Midway area). I will find out in March--prayers are welcome! The application is due this Thursday, so I have been stressing about getting everything done for it as well as keep up on all readings for class. This college stuff is hard work! I did not do my best last semester--do not worry, I did pass--however, this semester is going to be stellar! Well, it is mighty late (or extremely early) so I am off to bed!
