Potpourri

This post may seem a little random, a little all over the place, a little unorganized, but I have so many things going on in my mind right now, I need to get it all out, and sometimes the best way is to write. This might be for my own benefit, but hopefully you enjoy reading it too.

First off, there are 3 things I have decided as of 10:52pm on January 18th, 2009: 1) I will be starting the C.N.A. program in May here in Idaho Falls at the Eastern Idaho Technical College and following that going into the Licensed Practical Nurse program. It's gonna be awesome. 2) I am a great person, with many talents, and I don't need a guy to make me happy! 3) 2009 is going to be the BEST YEAR EVER! (and this is why...)

I am making many changes this year, going to achieve many goals. First off, I am taking a class at The Apple Club where I work called Beyond Fitness. It's an 8 week program. I get to learn about nutrition, and calorie intake, and taking care of my body. I also get a personal trainer and she is going to be helping me learn new workouts and make me STRONG! :) Better watch out everybody! So far it's been pretty good. We got all our measurements done (weight, body fat, inches, etc.), and so we get weighed in every week and then half way through we do all our measurements again, and then again at the end of the program. I also have to count calories. That is NOT EASY! I have realized though how much I used to eat that I don't need! So it's been pretty good. I hope to see some great results. I will make sure to clue all of you in on them!
Next, I am finally removing myself from credit card debt! No more will those little plastic cards haunt my life. They sneak up on you and take over your thoughts and dreams and actions like nobody's business and I will not allow it anymore! :) Then, of course you already know about my new career choice....wish me luck on that!
Also, I am going to be HAPPY! I have had a really rough week and have not felt very happy about many things. But I want to try to get through my trials with more positivity. Everything happens for a reason and so for those things you have no control over, we need to learn and grow from them instead of focusing on the bad. Lastly, I am going to be a better daughter of God. I went to this fireside tonight and it was on "How to be Steadfast and Immovable in a Troubled World." Let me tell you, it was AMAZING. That was written just for me I swear. This is a very difficult life, but we won't be able to get through it without our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We must stay near to Him in all we do, Pray, Read our Scriptures, Attend our church meetings, Pay our tithing, Be honest, and Serve others. It's like what President Hinckley said,
"Like the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith." I feel very blessed to have the gospel in my life. I would not be able to get through anything without it.

Well, those are just a few of my thoughts that have been on my mind all day long and now that I have gotten it all out, I feel much better and now I can go to sleep. :)

Phyllis:[slams door] Are you insane?
Andy:Hey hey, what happened?
Phyllis:There was no client. Dwight drove me to an abandoned warehouse 5 miles away and pushed me out of the car. I had to walk back with no purse and no phone.
Dwight Schrute:And you burned over a thousand calories walking home, and this branch just got little bit closer to winning the contest. Phyllis Vance ladies and gentlemen! [Dwight claps]
