Signs?
Ever wonder what God has planned for your life? Lately I have been wondering if the plan I have for my life matches that of what God has planned and I am beginning to believe God has way more planned then I could ever imagine.

Quarter One
I can't believe the quarter is almost over....when did that happen. Next week is finals and next Thursday I jump on a plane and head to see the family. Kind of nervous to take my first flight since coming back from Ukraine when I swore I wouldn't take another flight in a long time (4 flights in 32 hours was too much). :-) At least flying from Phoenix to Seattle is only 3 hours.
If only I could take the great people from here and the great people from home and put them all in one place..that would make life much better!

Memories....
Memories of love, loss and beauty.
Memories of triumphs, faults, and failures.
No matter how big or small
No matter how good or bad.
Your memories will always be yours.

Gifts
Life is a blessing in disguise,
Filled with so many wonderful things
Life brings along it's path, friends
In all their beauty
Friends, as well as family, are gifts from God
It is a reminder to us that we are loved
And as long as we have friends and family we will be loved
Life is a gift from God so cherish every moment!

Ponder this!
1) Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.
2) How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you are on and if the bathroom is closed for cleaning.
3) Birthdays are good for you; the more you have the longer you live.
4) Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
5) Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the poeple who have to wait for them?
6) Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
7) If Walmart is lowering prices everyday, how come nothing it free yet?
8) You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
9) Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
10) Don't cry because it is over; smile because it happened.
11) We could learn a lot of crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors...but they all exist very nicely in the same box.
12) A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Take joy in the little things in life!

I miss the rain
I miss the tapping of rain on my window,
the smell after the first fall.
I miss splashing and jumping in each puddle I see,
I miss the rain.
The cool mist that breaks your cheek unexpectedly on a warm day
the sand beneath my toes.
The crispness of the air,
I miss the rain.
I miss the quiet times
The times when the world stood still while the rain fell
I miss how new everything felt,
I miss the rain.
The rain brought peace
where is the peace without the rain
The rain made everything clear and pure
I miss the rain.

Tears on my pillow...
Have you ever had one of those nights where you cry yourself to sleep? I am pretty sure most people have. I am not sure what brought it on but last night was one of those nights for me.
Blessed!
Those of you who know me know that I am a giver to the core. This typically envolves making treats of some sort and giving pretty much all of them away. This is one thing in life that brings me pure joy. I love to make sure that other people knwo that I appreciate them and feel blessed to know them.
Okay, so the real reason for this post. Have you ever has one of those jobs where you are just excited to go to work? This has happened a few times in my life and it seems like when it does happen it is because the people you work with are just outstanding. I currently have a job like that. I love the 2 gals I work with! Every time I go to work I know that what I am doing matters and that these gals appreciate having me there. Working with them is so much fun. It is like they are my familiy away from my family. So great!

Change is GREAT!!!
So I was bored this afternoon when I got home from school and really didnt want to study yet so I decided it was time to rearrange my room. I do this from time to time and this probably wont be the last although with little room to move things around it probably wont change by much.
Here are the before and after pictures.
Where my desk used to be....
...is where I will now study.
I think I will like this layout much better. Much better lighting and my room now looks huge! Change is GREAT!

2 weeks down...umpteen to go!
Wow! These first two weeks of school have been a whirl wind. We started off our time at AT Still with a "fun" filled 2 days of orientation. Come on...doesn't everyone want to go over the rules and regulations 5 or 6 times..in the same time. :)
So that was the first two days. We did get to meet the faculty and play an ice breaker game and I have to admit that was fun. Our first and second days of actually classes was like brain overload to no end. I had to come home after our first day of anatomy and sleep....for like 3.5 hours. My brain definitely hurt.
Week 2 was much better. Tuesdays are my lab day and it was quite fun. I have to admit that I have never learned the muscles of the shoulder with never innervations, orgins and insertions as well as the brachial plexus so quickly. I really think this quarter is going to be great. I have already passed my first skills test...woohoo! I know how to properly drape a patient so that their "goods" aren't exposed. lol
Today was a very long day. We had the first Az Student Conclave. It was great to be a part of it but they through a lot of information at us. This week we have elections for officers of the SPTA (student physical therpay association-for our school). I have been nominated for Vice President and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I actually get it.
Well that is all for right now. My brain hurts and I still have tons of homework to do. Good Night All!

I have arrived!
We left at about 7 am on Saturday the 15th and arrived at my new home on Sunday the 16th at around 1. After waiting a bit to get the key we were finally able to get unloaded and start the settling process. I am glad my dad was here to help. We accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Monday we bought my bed and a table, then waited for that to be delivered. It cacme quiet quickly and then we took a trip out to ikea to buy a desk and dresser. Everything went quiet smoothly and I am all set up and ready for school to start. I have a few things still to buy for school but other then that I am all ready to go! Woohoo! Now I am just taking some time to relax and enjoy my last few days of life as I know it before everything becomes full of learning about the body as it pertains to physical therapy.
I couldn't be more excited! I have a feeling that these next 3 years are going to come and go in the blink of an eye.

Let's try again
So I have decided to give this another go mostly because I will be moving in 33 days! Yes that's right! On August 16th I will be moving to Arizona to start Physical Therapy School! I am so excited!!! Since I will be so far away from everyone thought that it would be good to try and keep people updated..because we wont be able to talk all the time.
Well that's all for now! More later!
Well that's all for now! More later!

Soothing Rain
There is something about hearing the rain bounce about outside my window that I find simply soothing. It is calming to the core. Something about it makes every thing feel okay again. After feeling like I have been on an emotional roller coaster since my surgery 4 weeks ago it is niced to feel soothed. As I lay here curled up in my blanket I feel comforted. I have to admit though...I am afraid of what lies ahead, but right now I will just focus on the rain. How simply it falls but yet how perfect it is.

People
I am learning more and more everyday that one thing in life that I will probaby never understand is people. Why do people pay the blame game when the person they should be blaming is themself? Why do people bottle things up until they explode? Why is communication so difficult for people?
I wish we as human being could talk openly about our feelings and that we never got to the point of being so upset that we explode. This is one thing about human nature that frustrates me the most. We don't communicate properly. I try so hard to communicate with those around me but it is just not something that is returned.
I miss my good friends for this reason. We aroundstood eachother. Communication was something that we valued. I wish they weren't so far away...so many of them have moved away and that saddens me. Very few of the people here value true relationships. Relationships of communication.
I wish I knew what to do. I keep telling myself that I am only here until the middle of March, but I don't want that to be my focus. I want to celebrate my last 5 months of undergrad and take advantage of every moment...it is just a lot harder then I thought it would be. Why is life never easy....sigh.
