I am not sure where the time flies!? It seems that as you get older, each year passes by more quickly and it is sometimes becomes difficult to enjoy every little moment in life when it is so chaotic and busy. Between my internship at Provo Craft, various doctors appointments, photoshoots, subbing gymnastis, studying like crazy for my personal training test, and all of the billions of other little things that have to get done, I feel like I have no time for myself. I feel as though life is passing by so quickly and sometimes I have a hard time keeping up.
But...I am grateful for a busy life. I am not the type of person to be content to just sit at home and do nothing. I am grateful for my many talents which have brought me many job opportunities, my loving family where we can find joy in one anothers company, and the ability to go to school to gain a greater knowledge, increasing my abilities, talents, and experiences. I am grateful for my life and for all of the many blessings my Heavenly Father has granted unto me. Without Him, there would be no purpose and we wouldn't have any type of direction in life. The goal of this life is to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ, and to do everything we can to improve upon each day. This is my goal this year...Year 26 - I will do my best to become more spiritually in tune to the spirit and to strive to make each day a special one. I will strive to endure my trials becoming stronger and to learn from my mistakes. I look forward to this year. May it be better then the first 25 years!
My actual birthday was full of ups and downs. First off, my team at work went to lunch...for the marketing managers birthday. I was too shy to say anything, but they didn't know it was my birthday. So we went to Brick Oven to celebrate...So, the majority of the day was pretty lame. My giant car payment was due on this day as well, just as it is due on the 12th every other month of the year.
Thanks to Amanda, my birthday ended up to be pretty awesome! She took me to dinner at CPK and can I just say "YUMMY!!!" I had their Jambalaya Fettuccine and it was the most amazing dish ever! I would totally recommend it (but you have to like spicy bc it has a good kick to it). It is "Blackened chicken and shrimp, Andouille sausage, and Tasso ham in our spicy Cajun sauce". Perfect combination if you ask me!
Then we went country dancing downtown and that was drama all the way. We had a good time, although, Amanda's x-boyfriend (words cannot say how much of a jerk he is) showed up. So, then, the remainder of the night was spent avoiding him and waiting for Shane to show up, just to show who was boss and to keep him away! I did meet a boy and danced with him a few times, though I will probably never see him again since he didn't get my number. But I did have a good late night out and was glad my cousin made it a special day! Thanks!
Nick and Zoe were in Texas on my birthday and mom was a youth conference. So it was pretty quiet around the house. It was quiet until Sunday came around, with the whole family joined together in celebration. There was laughter, joyful screaming, chattering adults, and happiness all around. It is pretty much a zoo when everyone is over, but it is fun!
The boys....
This birthday was a great way to start of the new year, filled with better days and building to become a stronger me :)
