questions and answers

So recently I've been doing lots of thinking. About what you might ask? Well this post is all about it, so read on :-) and it is kind of a lot of thoughts all jumbled together, so I apologize if it doesnt make the most sense or read all that easy....

I was reading recently on a friends blog about doing what you love. And as I was reading it and thinking about it, I don't really feel like I am doing what I love. dont get me wrong, I very much enjoy my job but its not fulfilling in the way that I think it should be and it certainly doesnt have kingdom impact. The only time I really feel fulfilled doing my job is when I am in Honduras. Which I am happy to say I am going back in just a few short months, November!!! YES!! But I don't wake up everyday and want to go to work. I love my job but not all aspects of it, the politics of working for a big hospital can be draining, and I dont just love it and feel at peace when I am at work.

So knowing this, I have been praying about it and thinking about. And as weird as it might seem even watching the office one of the episodes involves Pam and she finds out about a scholarship for art/graphic design and gets really excited about it and talks about it to Jim who also is excited for her about the potential for her to do what she loves, but then seems defeated after talking to Roy and being talked out of it. And she tells Jim this and he just doesnt get it, why wouldn't she do it? and whats holding her back? I was thinking of all the excuses why I am not doing what I love and there really are not any good ones besides the fact that it will be lots of time and studying.

But as I have been thinking and talking and praying about this with some important people in my life, I have decided to go back to school. :-) I am kind of excited about this new chapter which will probably begin in January.

And so without further ramblings, I am going to go to medical school and become a doctor!

First I have a get a bachelors degree which will most likely be 2 years of schooling then another 4 of med school. But I have wanted to do this for years now but have always talked myself out of it. I went to school to be a surgical tech because I wanted to see if I liked the medical field and I have found not only that I like it but I love it. I do not however love surgery and the needless surgeries that people get also dont think that I hate surgery because I don't, there is definitely a need for it in very many cases but not always. I want to be a doctor that cares for her patients and doesn't just go the easy way out, like a quick fix of drugs, that the pharmaceutical company pushes to get one to prescribe. I know that the body is downright incredible and has amazing healing capacities and I want to work with the human body that God created so infinitely. We are fearfully and wonderfully made and I want to learn more about this and how to better help his people and one day my patients to better do this.

So for now those are my rambling thoughts on my big decision of going back to school:-)

a quick post

I havent posted in forever! And I dont have much time right now either. But here goes anyway, I got up super duper late today 8:07am in fact and I should leave my house at 7:50! yikes! when that happens its never a good thing! But I made it to work at 9:07am and that means I wasnt even tardy!

Last week, we had a couple of really fun days!~ We went to Silver Lake and rode the sand dunes in dune buggys! It was way fun~! then Jared and I went to the zoo on Wednesday. Which was super fun and I actually got to feed the giraffes! Loved it! And of course we used our super cool groupon which got us lunch and a ride on the Z&OO railroad. I'll post pictures soon, promise!

well I am currently at work drinking a caramel latte because I didnt have to get an iced coffee. and I should probably do something prodcutive like give some breaks to other people who may actually be working, hehe!

Have a fabulous Wednesday everyone, enjoy the very fallish weather! :-D

hello blogging world!

Well hello again fellow readers!

It has been far to long since I have decided to update and so my apologies are in order. I really enjoy reading others blogs and then never update my own. So alas, here I am.

Lets see what is new with me?

Starting the beginning of July I have been trying my best to eat more healthy unprocessed foods and mostly gluten free. The number one question I get is why? Are you allergic to gluten? No I am not, but I was feeling very crappy and sooo tired so often that I decided to give it a try. Plus my mom was going to and needed an accountability partner. So here I am, a month into it and I do feel much better. Plus I've been eating lots of fresh fruit and some veggies. And because of this we stopped in at The People's Food Co-op, and it is now probably one of my most favorite places to get some delightfully good food. There are these little cheesecakes that are made with raw ingredients and oh my are they delicious! :-) If I had taken a picture of one I would be posting it right now.

We went to Cedar Point with Cerissa, and it was so much fun. Despite the extremely warm temperatures! It was crazy hot but all of 4 us ladies enjoyed ourselves.

well I have more to write but I suppose I have things that need to be done.

quick pic

And one more picture because I thought it was fun:-)

Girls nights:-)

WE have had lots of fun this weekend:-) Last night, we watched Napoleon Dynamite and ate movie theater butter popcorn. And we even had some super tasty movie candy, you know the kind in the boxes. And before our movie we had tasty pizza, since it was Friday and it was pizza night.

THEN tonight we got all dressed up and cute:-) and went out to dinner, which was way fun. And quite tasty! I'm still full and its 10pm. My mom and I may still make some drinks because we have some delightful looking orange creamsicle stuff with the vodka already mixed in. Just add ice tastiness, if we do I'll be sure to post some pictures of the creations!

what I should be doing

I need to be looking at plane tickets for Honduras but I just dont want too. I think the longer I wait the more expensive they are going to be.. but yet here I sit reading blogs and updating mine.

Maybe cleaning or helping in a room since I am at work, but alas still sitting here.

I need to really and seriously clean my house this weekend but its going to be a girls weekend and cleaning doesnt sound nearly as fun.

But I suppose I should at least look at plane tickets.
Here I go.....

another

So I know it is downright crazy, but I'm posting again within 2 hours of my last (very small) post.

I was just reading on Rants from Mommyland blog and thought the pool rules were quite funny, and since I'll be spending some time at the pool, here they are:-)
