School UPDATE!

Okay! So this is going to be my third week of Massage Therapy school and I have already learned more than i have ever before! lol It is a fast-paced and quick learning! Anatomy is definitely the hardest part so far and I am anxious to learn more! We have started to learn how to feel the different muscles and understand how they work and the different areas they affect. We are also learning the professional and the business side of Massage Therapy! How to handle uncomfortable situations and worst case scenarios. I love the idea of helping others and giving them the opportunity to relax and relieve stress. Just to get away from the real world for an hour is a hard thing to do and in 9 months I will be able to do that for people. I like all the people in my class and am forming friendships, its crazy the diverse people that have the same plan in life as you do. So for I am focusing on the Spa side of Massage therapy but would also like to look into the medical side of helping people who have to go to physical therapy and such. so yeah that's whats going on with school! Oh and it helps that I get to have massages in school! ;)

Taniths Visit!

SOOO Tannie came to visit for Whitney's birthday! it was totally awesome! The Three Amigos were together again!! :) and we got to take her to experience her very first DRIVE-IN Movie EXTRAVAGANZA! totally wonderful! My family is so great and they all mean so much to me! spending time with them makes me happier and at peace in the world! luv you all!

RESOLUTIONS!

AAAAAH.. A New Year! Well I know it was stated over and over again by people about how glad they are that 2009 is over, although I can easily say that I too and most definitely done with it and ready for my new slate. I would like to say that 2009 holds more memories in my heart that I never want to let go of! My Friends and Family are basically all that got me through one heck of a year and although I made plenty of silly and childish mistakes I can't say that I would take any of those memories back for anything because I LIVED and LEARNED from this year but mostly I knew how it felt to Love and Be Loved by almost everyone around me! :)

NOW FOR THIS YEAR!! Oh the joys that are in store for me! Well I'm going to have a hectic year of school!! Starting Monday January 11th I will be attending the Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in Scottsdale! It is a 9 month program and I graduate at the end, cap and gown and everything! lol I am super excited but nervous for all of the anatomy parts of it! but I plan on hunkering down and studying my lil booty off to pass! There are 3 quarters, 11 weeks in each quarter so I will be going 11 weeks and then having 2 weeks off, 11 weeks, 2 weeks off, 11 weeks the GRADUATION! until then I am going to have to go back to being ridiculously poor for 9 months then hopefully making the big bucks! Orientation is tomorrow! Wish me Luck! ;)

Christmas!!!

We Went Ice Skating! :)

Opening Gifts!

Christmas Gifts from Elvis!

Well I went home for Christmas and it was wonderfully busy! Nonstop Family and Friends! Although I thoroughly enjoy all the physical and somewhat wordly gifts this season brings, the key and sometimes hard part is remembering the REAL meaning of Christmas and that is to remember the Birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. so lil late but Merry Christmas to All and to All and Good Night!

Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving! Oh how joyous was this week! Well we left Farmington in 12 degree weather and then ended up in Mesa in around 80 degree weather! It was Beautiful!! well we all had a wonderful time that night catching up and enjoying eachothers company. My Family is pretty much the funniest people I have ever met! Thursday we had a wonderful Fried Turkey! with all the wonderful delights of thanksgiving food and more pies than I can remember! the Chocolate pie was obviously my favorite! :) then we all took a very long night and fell asleep to a family favoriye movie Young Frankenstien! then that night we all played the game Farkle lol but I prefer to call it CRAP! lol Friday we all went to the busiest mall i have ever seen and shopped ofr a little bit. then we went to the most wonderful restaurant Lucilles and had Fried Pickles.. MMMMMMM LOVE IT! afterwards we went to watch the lighting ceremony of the Mesa Temple Christmas Lights. B-E-A-Utiful! Saturday sadly my parents had to leave back to farmington and I stayed here to live with my wonderful loving and most amazing aunt and uncle! :) I am looking forward to starting school in January to become a Dental Assistant! :)

I'm Movin' On...

MY MY! it has been a long while since I have made a Post. This one is basically just a filler-inner on my life! My mother who was in the hospital all summer is doing to fantastic it truly is amazing and along with what most people say she truly is a miracle. The strongest woman i have ever met, and the best example of trusting in the Lord through ALL things and All trials in our lives. I don't think i could have gone through what she did with such a great spirit like she did and I admire her more than anyone. she truly is My Hero. As was said in previous posts i post-poned moving to Mesa this semester to stay home and help with my mom with whatever she needed, although i would like to say i did this without complaint it would most definitely be a lie. it was a very hard time and trial in my life also but I knew that she needed me and couldn't do it alone. I was able to get a wonderful part-time Job at Carland. that way I could help my mom with what she needed in the morning and work from noon until 5:30. I was SO grateful for a job that not oonly gave me something to do and money to earn but i met a lot of great people and made friends! :) As my mom got better she was more independent and i found that she wasn't waking me up in the mornings to help her anymore. all i did was wake up get ready and go to work. although i had wonderful friends here in Farmington and an amazing job that i actually enjoy! i decided that it was time for me to move to Mesa AZ like I had planned. When i talked to my mom about it she said " I know you need to go, and i know that I don't need you anymore, but that doesn't mean i don't WANT you to stay" me and my mom had a long discussion and we decided that when our family went to visit the Camphuysen family for thanksgiving i would just stay there. So i called my wonderful aunt and uncle and asked them if they wouldn't mind taking in a horrible niece like me and my rotten kitten and lucky me they said yes! :) i am SO grateful to them for letting me live with them they are truly wonderful! I know that living in Farmington was an experience that was hard for me but one that i needed to go through in order to figure out what i wanted to do with my life. I am going to study to be a Dental assistant at a school in Scottsdale. I know its a good decision because i am happy about it! lol I love my Family and everyone that made living in Farmington at 21 bearable!.. but I'm Movin' On.
