Crazy beautiful life

So I've fallen a little behind in the blogging world so here is an update. First off, I absolutely love my job! Sometimes it is difficult waking up early in the morning to go to work....or heading to work at 6:30pm knowing I will be there the whole night; however, once I'm at work I love being able to care for others and hopefully I'm making a difference in their lives, because they are definitely making a difference in mine. Life is so precious and I've come to realize that one of the most important things in this world is friends and family. Many people when they hear I work at a cancer hospital just tell me how depressing and sad that would be all the time, that is not the case with my experience. The people I care for are some of the most positive and happy people. Sure, they have their hard days, but who doesn't? They realize what's important and they have their good and bad days, but they are the kindest most appreciative people I have ever cared for and I feel blessed everyday to be a part of their journey.

Second, a few of my friends from Tonga are here in the states visiting for a few months. I was able to go pick them up and show them around temple square as well as take them out to eat. The Ta'ai family really took care of my whole nursing group in Tonga and were with us every step of the way through the difficult times. Mele'ana calls me her American daughter, and they are my Tongan family. When we were walking around temple square all the missionaries would ask how we knew each other and Mele'ana would say right off "This is my American daughter" They are such a wonderful family with strong testimonies and I hope I can do more with them before they leave.

I love my roommates! We have so much fun together and get along so well. I have been really blessed to always have great roommates. The other week we went to the Cheapo theater to watch Megamind and can I just tell you that Megamind is my new cartoon crush. He may be blue...but I just think he is so cute in the movie! Call me crazy but that's how I feel :)

Pictures are always a must when we go anywhere, as well as jamming out to music in the car.

Third, I was able to go home to Star Valley to visit for a few days. How many people can get their full hours for the week and still be able to have 6 days off of work? That another one of the many good things about my job. I had a great time being with my Mom and Dad and just relaxing at home :)

Yes, I do live in one of the most gorgeous places

My beautiful mom

My parents have been married for 32 years and are such a great example to me. I love them both so much and I'm so grateful for all that they do for me.

Well that's about all the updating for now, peace out!
