There is always next year.

As you can guess from the title, I got my letter from UVU today, I did not make it into the program this year. There is always next year.:-)

Dental Hygiene-To Be or Not to Be.

That is the question.
For those who don't know-I turned my application in at Utah Valley University's dental hygiene department a little over a month ago. I just called them today to see when I should anticipate a response. The letters of notification went out yesterday, so any day.
If I get in I am pretty sure it is an act of God. If I don't get in, then it is time to retake a couple of classes for the better grade and try again next year.
I will keep you posted.

For my adoring fans;-)

A few pictures to view. The majority of of the pictures are from an artistic photo hunt I went on with Camille and Garrett (both pictured).

The bottom picture is from last Sunday, not the best day for picking out what to wear. I tried on 20 tops, 8 skirts, 3 pairs of shoes and switched between my two sets of glasses several times. That isn't even counting all the different combinations within the articles of clothing. What a ridiculous morning!!

I have more pictures to add later, but I have to wait for my friend to email me.

Spring has Sprung

Despite the snow last night and the turn for colder weather, the Irises and Crocuses decided to make their debut today.

Clay Pigeons

I think you can tell from the pictures, that I was not a natural at this and that the gun was just a little too big for my short little arms. I was able to shoot one clay pigeon out of... um, a lot.

You can see how many shells we went through-pretty impressive.

There was one extra pigeon after all the ammunition was gone, so everyone took a shot with a rock.
Jake noticed this cloud sneaking over the mountain as we left the west desert.

Last night I went tubing with my ward. The place we went had a toe rope for the tubes and nice runs to go down. Definitely an activity I would be inclined to repeat.

So Great a Cause

I want to blog about my ward's Family Home Evening activity.

We went downtown to see the movie about the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. I have seen this movie several times. However, each time I come away more grateful for the blessings in my life and a commitment to do better. I am specifically grateful for the sacrifice of so many individuals as they acted in Faith.

Tonight I was especially touched by a line that said something to the effect that the experiences the church members had experienced and endured had made their hearts more tender. I know that my experiences, both the good and the bad, have made me who I am today. I know that my heart has learned to be more tender and I hope it will continue as I search for truth and follow the teaching of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A 5 star week

A pretty great week, but not many photos taken.:(
This was my first full week of work in a long time. It was pretty great. I sure have missed the Seare's and was happy to return there on Monday. Marie Claire was really sweet, she was all full of hugs and kisses and following me everywhere. She helped me with ironing, cleaning, and everything else.
My hands will be as raw as raw can be with all the hand washing required by law when you work in a childcare/preschool center, but have been happy to be back and incredibly busy.
On top of that I spent the week catching up with friends. I was able to go to FHE, and Institute and play with Garrett, and have a game night on Friday at my friend Jeff's, then Saturday was jam packed.
I had my toe fixed free of charge by a parent at the center (in-grown toe nails-makes me feel like a dirty girl). Then I spent the day with my friend Cindy, we enjoyed a great lunch, hit a movie, ran a few errands, hung out at her house, enjoyed a great dinner, and played a fun zoo game with her husband.
I apologize for the lack of pictures, I'll try to do better next week.
