About Me

I graduated from BYU in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology and I am working as an SLPL at a school district. I enjoy it and it keeps me SUPER busy. I also teach spin classes at LA Fitness. I refuse to ever pay for a gym membership. I live with 2 awesome girls: Erika and Christina. I love Diet Dr. Pepper, ritz crackers, bunny tracks ice cream, shopping, cooking, sleeping, reading, and working out. I have the 4 cutest nephews in the world: Kaden, Jack, Nixon and Bentley and 1 adorable niece: Alena. This is my simple yet really awesome life!

Meant To Be

I found out Wednesday that I did not get the job at Kids On the Move. They hired a lady with 20 years of experience in Early Intervention. I just can not possibly compete with that. Are you kidding? I only graduated 3 months ago. But I guess it is just meant to be that I don't move back to Provo. This is the third time that something has fallen through and that there is my answer so I need to stop fighting it. I just know I need to be home with my family and back in Mesa. So to make myself feel better, I came up with the pros and cons of not getting the job.

(Don't mind the fotolia written all over this little girl's face)

Cons...


Still unemployed

No benefits

I don't get to work under Gayleen

No steady income

GRANDMA

No BYU prep course for GRE

my friends in Utah

living at home

Utah is prettier


Pros...





Dallin's games

quality family bonding time

BABY!!

Saturday morning matinees with Stacie and/or Mom

STACIE

not having to fly home for Lena's wedding
(but Lena I would do it anyways...you know that..:)

Mesa Winters

holidays at home

Sunday dinners with the whole family

STEVEN

being able to run outside from October to April
(not having to deal with the freakin snow and 10 degree weather)


It's a good thing there are so many positives to staying home since I don't have a choice anymore...

I would like to add MELISSA to your list of pros. Let's hang out more often, okay?

Way to look at the positive side! :)

Ya, I'd say your list of pros definitely outweighs the cons. While I would've LOVED to have you back in Utah, there are a ton of good things about Mesa, too. I know you'll be just great wherever you are :)
