Life in the day of me

I always hated those English assignments when you had to share a typical day of yours to the world. I would just type one word over and over again because I didn't know where to start. To me, my day was never typical. The assignment should be life in the ideal day of me. In which today could have been a day I would have written about.
Having finished my internship and completing school. I woke up with a day that was without obligations, stress free. So what did I do? I sat staring at a water fountain eating my favorite breakfast meal ( cereal with sliced bananas) as the blue sky hung above me. After which, I tackled my Chinese book of Mormon that has been on my to do list for way too long. Then I wondered around the house determined to play the piano and relive all those memories at my piano teacher's house. I remember the different smells of her house. Mostly smells of, I would imagine, India. I remember how she allowed me to play as poorly as I did just so I can continue to enjoy playing the piano. She taught me to love music. I wonder where she is now, and if she knew the continued impact she has made in my life. My mind wondered continuously back to the sweet moments of life.

A day that allows me to have moments where I can enjoy, reflect and grow is one successful and happy day!

Looking back

Is it real, am I really leaving...? Leaving the comfort of the library, the mountains, the BYU wards, Chatham Towne, endless precious memories, FM 100.3, friends and Sisi? Deep down I feel excited yet puzzled to go to the unknown. Deep down I'm grateful that I got exactly what I wanted to get out of my BYU experience and more. I took all the classes that I wish to take. I did all the summer opportunities that I wanted. I experienced a plethora of random jobs and most importantly I met the man of my life.

I came to BYU alone, scared and excited. Now I am leaving having made incredible friends, a little wiser and again excited. I'm glad this time I'm not leaving alone, but with the best life partner ever, and as he always says, to go conquer the world. L.A here we come! Oh beware!

Believe and become

What a conference! I went to a recreation therapy conference. People wonder what we do and why we do i.Some look at us and think we just play all day and chose an easy major to get out of school, only if they all could see the energy, power, and determination within all these professionals. People are in recreation therapy because they know it's a powerful modality to help change someone's life. These people don't dread to wake up to go to their job. They can't sleep thinking of what they can do different and better. These people work overtime from choice.
As the saying goes, "Your passion lies in what you think about when you don't have to think about anything". I have discovered that Recreation therapy is indeed one of my passions.

hmm needed a slight change

when oh when can I

Every couple of months, I get excited to run an event. Then I see the half marathon at saint George go by, I see the next race go by... today is the same. I literally saw the rex lee run go by. I woke up at 8am. I can do this. excuses, after excuses.. the same beautifies from 9th grade creep back up. Maybe next time. Today I ran but only ran and saw the real race go by....

Freedom

This week was pretty exciting since I finished my LAST FINAL EVER! well for a while. The relief that I passed the course at the grade I wanted had me saying " I'm freeeeeee" all day. I was soooo happy! Now I have to face with myself and rediscover all the things that I used to do for fun before school dominated my life. Any ideas? I used to scrap book with Sisi, Make Jewelry, and paint. Hmmm maybe I'll start reading a book? maybe..... What to do with all this freedom! I'm almost scared of it.

THE BOX

What a movie. I cried and cried for a movie that ended without any resolutions. Then it hit me that maybe the movie was suggesting that in essence by us living in our box, our house , our car and our t,v. We are hurting another person by not helping them. So true and horrifying at the same time. Is this really what the greater message of this movie is about?

Life married

Sisi and I at the Y! FuN extended family hike. Above is us having a little bit of fun!

The myth that the first year is the hardest year of one's married life has proven false so far. What could be better than having a constant best friend to hang out with every weekend? Or having Someone to go along with your crazy ideas and listen to your new thoughts of life? Or having someone who is grateful for all the minor things you do?

Good thing I chose the right someone for me.
Jonathan and I have been busy with work and school. I come home with random stories at work such as I found a 7th grader in my trash can today. He comes home eager to read the news or maybe more eager to watch you tube. Our weekends have been filled with so many fun things. We got to watch The BEST PHANTOM Of the OPERA earlier this semester, and defeat the many many haunted houses at Knott's scary farm, see the spectacular at BYU, Board game nights, first carved pumpkin party with each other.. but my favorite thing is simply walking around the block talking about anything with each other.
