MIA: Missing in Action

I have been MIA for about three weeks now. Mainly because school has taken over my life. I am on spring break right now and will try to recap the past three weeks.

Where to start....
Week 1:
As some of you know I am no longer at my parents ward but at the singles ward.(Pass four months) Recently they decided to have a traveling Gnome in relief society. Yup, you read right a traveling Gnome. It is similar to the traveling pants of the sisterhood but instead of pants they gave up Garden Gnomes. Odd, I know but bare with me, it gets better. See I was given the Gnome from Vanessa, his name is One-Eyed Pete. Why...oh this is the good part, he is missing an eye!

So here I am traveling in my daily tasks with a foot tall, missing eye, garden Gnome. The whole point of this activity is to show that we are connected by doing the similar things with our Gnomes. So I had to take pictures as I traveled with Gnome. I had many people stare at me, but a great way to do missionary work.

Week 2:
The last weekend of February was a weekend filled with Stress, sickness, no sleep, and fun! As I have told you all before I am recently the 2010 American Humanics Management Institute Intern. Part of being the intern, I get to plan an institute for 1,000 nonprofit students and professionals across the nation. (Pretty much a BIG deal). The event will be in Phoenix in January 2010 and I am the only national staff located in Arizona. The national staff office is in Kansas City, Missouri. With that said the last weekend in February mapped our first planning meeting for the institute. We had students and staff fly in for this weekend meeting, that I had planned. It was event weekend with much success but I pretty much, didn't sleep, stressed myself out to the point I couldn't sleep and ended up getting awfully sick by Monday. However, I do it again, it was a learning experience for me and preview of how heckive life is going to be in December when this AHMI rolls around.

Week 2 part 2:

Sunday was packed with work, love and fun! I didn't make to church , :( sad face! However, I still made time to get up early and read my scriptures. I started the morning at 6:00am prepping myself for the last day of my weekend meeting. By the time I finished work I was off to School BBQ where the president of our organization was coming. I arrived late as usually but this time because I was sent to the store. I had a great time introducing my boss, colleagues and the president to my American Humanic Friends. It was also a relief from a long weekend to smile and be surround with many people who love me. After the BBQ, Armando and I raced over to Ceci house to finish my evening celebrating Clint's 26th Birthday. Ceci & Cling had prepared dinner and even Jonathan and Megan made it from Flagstaff to visit. We ended the night playing catch phase with all of my family. Yes, it was pretty interesting seeing it happen!

Week#3:
This last week I have spent studying! I have just finished my last midterm on Thursday and it felt great. I had a total of three midterms and a 10 page research paper. Whoop!

No really picture of how midterms were. Just know I looked horrible, hardly slept and I am tired of learning terms I do not care for.


Enjoy Life-

Success is around the Corner
