final month of love post


So, I figured I should get this in before April.

This past weekend, I headed down to Moab with my brother, sister-in-law, niece, nephew, dad and step-mom. Justin, Cherity, and I were joining a huge group of our classmates in running (fast walking in my case) the Canyonlands Half Marathon and Nev (my dad) and Sharon came along to watch the kiddies. It was so much fun (even the half marathon part)! We had this great condo and the kiddies got to see their parents run by.

With all of the other MBA kids down there, we had lots of opportunity to go hang out with them, but we all decided to be homebodies and just spend time as a family. I think I’m starting to realize just how far away New York is going to be from my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews and, while it will be great and technology makes it not so far away (isn’t video chatting the best!?), I do want to take advantage of the time I do have with them all.

Feb 28 – I love my family!!!

share in the test taking joy

I still need to do my last “month of love” post, but school has become crazy yet again. Less than four weeks to go!!! I can’t believe it.

Anyway, so you can feel like you’re a part of the experience, click on this website and take the Race IAT. I just did it for class. I’m curious to see if you find it as interesting as I did.

Happy testing!

this woman’s work

  1. I am grateful that my mom taught me that people always win when it comes to priorities. Now, sometimes you have to prioritize those people, but still…people are where it’s at.
  2. I am grateful that at this particular moment I am single. Being single allows me to be there for friends and family in ways that I otherwise might not be able to if I had a spouse or kids that I needed to (and would, of course 😉 prioritize.
  3. I am grateful that I decided to go back to school and that God made it clear that P-town was where I was supposed to do it. I cannot imagine not having all of these people that I met through the MBA program in my life. I’m glad I don’t have to.

“Don’t wait to start. Open your eyes, open your hearts, and open your arms. I promise that as you do so, you will feel greater joy and happiness. Your life will have a new level of meaning. You will forge relationships that will transcend this life and endure through the eternities.”
–Joseph B. Wirthlin, “‘Live in Thanksgiving Daily’,” Ensign, Sep 2001

how we roll

  1. I am grateful for Fridays!!! This was a long, hard week and while I am always grateful for Fridays, I don’t know that I’ve been this grateful for a Friday in a while.
  2. I am grateful for the women in my MBA program. They are amazing. I got to spend the evening with a group of them and I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time. I love being surrounded by so many amazing women who are all so different and yet share so much!
  3. I am grateful for brakes. Driving up and down P-town Canyon last night would have been a little rough without them.
