Promotion!

Well, this has been a great week!

  • Jason and I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Jason snuck and made breakfast while I was still sleeping. When I walked into the kitchen I found pancakes, a beautiful Hyacinth flower, Lonestar playing in the background, and See's chocolates on the table. It was so sweet! Then we randomly went to get our hair cut (greatly needed). After I taught viola/violin lessons we went grocery shopping and saw Twilight again. Later, I made him dinner (lasagna, salad, and strawberry poke cake) on our China with candles.
  • We had Monday off of work and school, which was great because I had a lot to do.
  • I finished and turned in my huge Anthropology paper.
  • I recorded myself for my music education application.
  • I finished and turned in my music ed application.
  • I got a promotion at work! I am now a trainer. Well, I still have to be trained to be a trainer, but that is now my official title. I also got a raise with it!
  • I found out I received a full scholarship for Spring term and Jason received the same amount, but spread over Spring and Summer terms!
  • It's already the weekend again!

February

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but life has been insane! Here's a quick update:

December: Christmas was great! I had a lot of fun with Jason and his family! It was a lot of fun watching Halie and Kaden get so excited about opening presents and talking about Santa. It was so wonderful having a break from school and spending time with Jason.

January: My sister-in-law, Kelsie, got married on Jan 10 to Rick Wirsch! My busiest semester started including 15.0 credits (I know that doesn't sound like much, but this is the music major we're talking about. They basically require you to sign your life away and give you hardly any credit for it), 20 hours of work per week, and the process of applying to the music education major. Monday, Tuesday, and Friday I have class and work from 8am until 7pm. Thursday I have class and work from 8am until 5pm and then I teach a viola lesson. Wednesday (up until this week) I had class and work from 8am until 9:30pm.

February: To keep this brief, in addition to the previously mentioned schedule, this month I have 5 midterms, a few papers, 2 concerts, my portfolio and application for the music education major, a talk in church, a workshop for a primary activity to prepare and teach, and stake relief society conference to perform at. I'm trying to follow my sister's great advice to find joy in the journey amidst all my stress. We'll see how it goes!
