I'm Awesome! So is my family!

Man! Life goes by FAST! AND I totally agree with you Mike! Lets live life to it's fullest..and that's exactly what I am doing. I am seizing the moment where all children are asleep at the same time I thought what better way to spend it than updating my family. I should also share that I'm doing this while on the toilet. How much seizing am I doing right now! I'm AWESOME!

Anyway! Mom, Dad thank you thank you thank you for coming out to help me. I think I would be a little worse for wear right now, so THANK YOU again!

We just got back from Moses Lake, WA and the HR person told Weston that she is very confident that they will be giving him an offer and should be expecting one at least by the end of the week. OH BOY! It's exciting to know that they want us. Hopefully this HR person isn't lying to us. We also have an offer here in Winston so we could end up staying here. I will say that Moses Lake though puts up a convincing position for us to go with them. Alas we shall do some pondering and consulting with the higher powers and we'll let you guys know. We love you all!

Babies...BABIES EVERYWHERE!

I'm so eternally grateful for all of you! First it was Nori, then it was Millie. I'm just happy everyone is safe and sound! I've been working a lot in the PICU lately and I'm just super thankful that God was watching over Michelle and Valeria, it could've been worse, but it wasn't. I love that the term "Squishies" has caught on, because well. I was to squish all of my nieces and nephews. I want to be a doctor already so I can spoil all of them silly! It's only been a quarter into the year and 2015 is proving to be super eventful!

Utah had a freak blizzard yesterday. Finally, because we've had spring since after Christmas of last year. My boss said that her bishop wanted to pass on a message from the First Presidency and they were encouraged to fast and pray for the weather to normalize and for world peace. I used to be so annoyed by those pageants, "I just want WORLD PEACE", but lately, yes, that is all i really want, WORLD PEACE. More so for the kids, I want them to experience this beautiful life! So, just don't forget to put world peace in your prayers!

It just hit me that I'm on the last leg of my 29 years of life. I've been alive almost THREE DECADES. Gross. I'm extremely grateful and blessed to have each and every one of you in my life, and I'm forever sure that my family is the best. I think I will make a more detailed introspection as the day gets closer. My twenties were definitely filled with many opportunities to grow and challenges to help strengthen my character. It wasn't easy, it still isn't easy, and my idea of a great weekend is a good hike, a good brunch, and relaxing in the movies in the afternoon. Even though I've left the crazy party life behind, I'm more passionate about things that enrich and uplift my life now. Spiritually, I could use a little more meditation, prayer, and yoga. Physically, CrossFit has made me feel like an athlete (425 lb deadlift WHAAAA?!), Socially I am constantly surrounded by quality people who are positive, negative people are immediately cut, and temporally, we are given one life to live. Live it to its fullest and always with kindness.

Remember, the moment you lose your ability to get angry, that's when you've lost your passion.

I love you all! And yes, for the future of our kids, I pray for world peace!
