It has been a while

This is for you Lizzy for thinking that I've fallen off the face of the earth. OK, so I am not so good at being consistant with my posts...don't be a hater BABY!! Things with Todd and I are a little stressful right now, this week at least, between Todds finals and my boss telling me I can't go home for Christmas. I about decked him when he denied my request. I'll have to explain it all in a later post because I have to get back to work. Sorry that this is such a crappy short post today. SERENITY NOW (as Mr. Castanza would say from the TV show Sienfield) I miss that freakin' show!!

God's Hands

So I was on the Brog blog and was inspired by Liz's Thanksgiving message. I had to go and reread President Eyring talk, "O Remember, Remember". Near the end of his talk about the light of Christ and how all men are born with this light. I must say that I agree and believe it is true. We are born with an inherent ability to know right from wrong. Elder Erying also spoke about remembering God’s hands in all things. I started to think about Gods hand in my life and how he has guided me through life to this point.

The good influence of family and friends to get me on a mission
Jobs, the Lord guided me to BISYS for two reason
T0 be able to attain my gastric by pass
To meet Katie Stone
Katie Stone lead me to Jenny
Finally, to now, where he has lead us to El Paso for school. I am still not sure why El Paso. But, as time passes I know it will become evident.


This is brief list of how the lord has helped me down my path. Jenny is clearly the most important piece of the puzzle. I am grateful that I have done what I can to be on the path that God has placed before me. I just hope that I will do better to stay on the path.

Road Map to Life




So, my last two post where a bit on the negative side. I decided to make this one lighter than the before mentioned post. I am no longer worried about why I didn't get into the program this spring. I decided this is in God’s hands; after all he is the reason we are here in El Paso. He knows the plan and has the map of our lives laid before him. In God we must trust. Our trials are made to strengthen us and prepare us for a greater challenge. I hope that I will be ready for the next one. God is love!

Light at the End of the Tunnel


OK, so I went and spoke with Nina (RN school counselor) so she said that there was a freakishly high average of grades this semester, any other semester I would have at least been on the waiting list, but not this semester. Also UTEP will not take my B in anatomy that I received after taking it for the second time. So what I am doing next semester is taking anatomy AGAIN! When I get an A in that class I will be admitted in the fall for sure. It is basically because of bureaucracy that I am not in the program this semester. LAME! Good news, if I start in the fall I can take summer school in the summer of 09, this will put me back in pace with the spring class. Ugh!

AWWW CRAP!













Well kids, I am the recipient of some bad news. I received an email telling me I am too stupid to be admitted into the nursing program. So it is back to the drawing board. I will take a couple of classes that will help my cause for next fall. For the recovery process I will have a few drinks, eat lots of chocolate, write my paper for TX Government and maybe go for some tacos. "If it doesn't kill you it will only make you stronger". I think that rapper Kanye West said that.
