Election-ing

I honestly don't like either of the presidential candidates. Neither impresses me. But hey, I'm biased. I was on the Romney bandwagon and didn't like losing "my candidate". I think both candidates we have to choose from now quite frankly suck. But I don't like how the liberal media, chooses to highlight Obama and downplay McCain. All I want is unbiased media. I don't care who they think is right or wrong for the job, I really could care less. How about they just present the facts in an unbiased way and let the American people use their own brains to make their own decisions. I really don't think it's that much to ask....


This one's for the Mavericks....

YES on Prop 8!

One of my friends has just about the best blog ever. She keeps me up to date on all that is going on in the world. Currently its Prop 8. (check out her stuff at http://burntmustard.blogspot.com/).

If I were from California and had a voice in all of this, I would definitely be voting this November 4th and I would definitely be making some phone calls.

It's not about stereotypes or bigotry or even religion, its about normalizing that which is viewed as socially unacceptable. Read my friend's post. SERIOUSLY. It is really eye-opening. and remember, VOTE YES ON PROP 8!!

Thank goodness for the weeked....

What a great weekend! I so needed a little break (even though there was plenty of studying still) from all the busy-ness!

On Friday we met Joanna and Jimmy Jo at the women's volleyball match v. Utah. They brought some friends from their ward. It was really nice to meet some new people! Needless to say, it is always good to see Joanna. We lost the volleyball match, but when you're surrounded by good people, who cares?

After the game we went back to Joanna's apartment and her friends made this honey popcorn. Oh my gosh it was delicious! I could eat it all day. And we played this Italian card game called "BANG!" which was really fun! I guess it helped that I, the Scariffo (sherif) won, thanks to Heath, my sole remaining deputy. It was fun to socialize with some new people and some really great old friends too :)

Saturday: slept in, not gonna lie. It felt great. Then I went to my study spot (its a secret) and got to work on my ICU material. There is a ton of stuff! dang...

After that though, Heath and I went to Red Robin for some burger and some of their delicious steak fries. I cannot tell you how much I love those fries...and their fry sauce? don't get me started....

Afterwards, we went to Comedy Sports! (http://comedysportzutah.com/). I had never been before! It was actually really funny! I had such a great time!

It was all just the weekend I needed!

And to top it off, here are some pictures of today. We went and drove the Alpine Loop to look at the beautiful trees with their changing leaves:




I love the fall in Utah!

One day at a time.

It has been such a busy past few days/week! Oh my goodness! But it has been so good at the same time.

Conference was wonderful. I love how every Conference there is at least one talk that really speaks directly to your heart. For me there were two.

One was Elder Perry's talk. I realized that I need to just be HAPPY! Life is good and wonderful! and yes it has its stresses, especially with the nursing program for me and the MAcc for Heath, but we're doing well! What's not to be happy about!? We're alive and have the Gospel in our lives, we are blessed beyond measure, and I see those tender mercies of the Lord every day in my life, if I just take the time to look for them.

The other was Elder Holland's talk. I loved how he talked about angels. They really are all around us. And we each have the opportunity to take that role in the lives of those we come in contact with. I have realized I need to try a little harder to be a little better at reaching out to those I love.

I picked up our wedding pictures on Saturday. You can check them out on facebook.com I love them! My photographer, Jennifer Grigg (jennifergrigg.com) did an excellent job! I am so pleased with them!

I'm all done with midterms...for now. Heath is just coming up on some.

Heath took the LSAT on Saturday, it is so exciting to wait and see what score he gets! I love being able to watch our lives unfold. I just love it.

I just finished my psychiatric nursing rotation at the Utah State Hospital, and Thursday I start my ICU rotation at the U of U. Oh, and I have to pick my top three capstone choices for next semester by the 15th. AKA, next week.

Life keeps moving on, and I am just trying to keep up and enjoy myself along the way.
