Wow...

It seems as though life goes by so quickly.  My last post in February doesn't feel that long ago.  This whole blogging thing is sometimes reminisent of writing in my journal...you know when every entry starts with "Wow it's been a long time since I last wrote!"  This semester really did fly by.  It kind of scares me to think that I'm half way done with my bachelor's degree...weird.  It seems like you've just got everything figured out when life throws you another curve ball.  Less than a month ago I thought that my future was set at least for the rest of this year.  Now so much could change within a few short months.  I work for Provo Early Education Program - a job that I love.  I love the work I do, I love the kids I get to be around, and I love the people I work with.  I was very content and I saw myself potentially working there for many years to come.  There is going to be a lot of changes over the next few months; however, and as scary and stressful as it all is, it's also given me a chance to think about how lucky I've been to have had to opportunity over the past year to work with such amazing people.  It's the first job I've had that I have actually been excited to come to work and I feel so comfortable and so accepted so quickly.  I want to just enjoy the next few months with them and make the most of that time.  I'm excited to see what the future holds for me.

An Ode to El Pollo

El pollo is one of the most loyal friends of apartment 216. He is one of the most attractive guys I've ever met and he will listen to you for hours on end without passing judgement or making you feel stupid. His sense of style is unsurpassed and he's always good for a laugh. I can always turn to him in time of need; he gives of himself freely and openly and he will always hold a special place in the hearts of the girls of apartment 216. (And Kathryn who fondly knows him as "Ignorance.")

Mary

I kept hoping that it would happen and finally today it did! I saw one of my favorite people in the world on campus for the very first time - Mary Christine Carlisle! It filled my heart with joy. I was beginning to wonder if we really were going to the same school since I haven't even seen her since school started - but yes, indeed we are! This definitely needs to be added to our apartment blessings wall.
