Spring Break

As Spring break comes to end today, I cant believe it was officially my last spring break! It is a bitter sweet taste. I mean I wont have to think of midterms or even the first day of class again! However, I will never have a week off to go on vacation and call it spring break! Bitter Sweet!
The good news: I have 6 weeks to go before I am finished with school.

So what did I do for my last spring break? I would like to say I went on amazing cruise or back packing in Europe but honestly I did what I love doing. I visit one of my favorite state, good old California. Home to sunny beaches and most of all the Happiest place ever, Disneyland! I guess you could say, I kicked it old school. I drove to California with some of my favorite people. Armando, Andrea and Kristina, what a group. We all got along really well and I am so happy the girls got a chance to know Armando better.

So what did I do in California?

Spring Break has come to end for me! I hope you all enjoyed it or are enjoying now!
Enjoy Life, with a little break

P.S. Still need at least one more comment, come on get on it people!! (View Below)

Pay it forward... A gift for you!

Okay I have seen a couple of these and I got this off my friend Whitney's Blog, so sounds like fun. The only thing I'm worried about is, the commenting! Yup, you see I have readers, I know your there, Google analytics tells me your there. However, I don't receive many comments. So here I am, asking you to leave comments. I almost feel like this is a bribe, leave me a comment and I will send you a gift. Ha... so maybe it is.

Here are the official rules:
Rule #1: I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment on this post requesting to join the PIF (Pay It Forward) exchange. All the gifts will be made and sent out (sometime within the next year).

Rule #2 What you need to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. This exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG.

Rule #3: Then, from all the other comments, I will randomly choose a winner and send that person a gift too. That person isn't in the PIF, that person is just a winner of the giveaway. (In hopes that I get enough comments!)
So PAY IT FORWARD....post a comment! Humor me in my game!
I will randomly pick the winner on March 28th. (Once again, in hope I have enough comments)

I also must tell you, I am a very talented person...I have many great hand made gift ideas.. so get on it, why haven't you left me a comment yet.

LDS Temples

The news is out that HBO is showing a television series that imitates LDS ceremonies.This is upsetting, but the church has come out with a statement asking for church members not to draw more attention to the show. http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/commentary/the-publicity-dilemma
I encourage you to read the above statement and act accordingly.
Thank you for all your desires to stand up for the right.

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
