Change of Everything

Well, I have been having trouble with my NurseAb log and because I am not going into nursing anymore, the nurse part did not apply. They wouldn't let me change it so I am deleting the Nurse Ab and doing this one.
Now you're probably wondering why am not doing nursing anymore, since I have been doing this FOREVER. Well let me tell you that I felt a little nuts doing it, but it was a split second decision. I find that all my big choices I have to make have been made in split seconds. Well, was interviewing at Nursing schools and doing my thing trying to schmooze the people at the schools :). The two schools that helped to change my mind, took me on a school tour. And that is where all my trouble began (well essentially Wally had the most influence, but I'll get to that later).
We arrived at the department of the surgical technologists. After going to both of the schools, I would have to say that I had a lot to think about. I can't even describe what was going through my mind. Everything was going in and out, ideas, doubts, confusion... and than finally peace. I knew what I needed to do. It was the clearest idea of where my life needed to go since I decided to go to BYU- Idaho (also decided in a split second).
So, people, I am going to Surgical Tech. school in Salt Lake at Everest Community College in May and I am totally stoked. I am in the accelerated program since I already have an associates degree. My program will last 20 months and I am exited. Wally started it by sending me to that school to see about their upcoming nursing Program and also because He is doing such a wonderful job there and talks very highly of it, he is actually who tipped the scale. I am very grateful to him and sweet Veronica and their encouragement.
So I am moving to Salt Lake City in May along with my good friend from Washington, Mallory and also Maggie. Mags is graduating this year and wants to move out and have a little independence. I am exited to have her and Mal with me. It should be a wonderful growing experience.
I am in LatterDay Voices this year here in Logan and we are going on tour in May to Montana. It is great fun and I am learning a lot and making great friends.
I went to the conference center for the first time yesterday when I accompanied my mom and sisters to the Young Woman's broadcast. It is a huge, beautiful place. That conference was so fun to watch as the new first presidency walked in and it was great to hear the words of the prophets. I can't wait until this next coming weekend when we can listen to more of the Lord's words.
I just turned TWENTY THREE this week. Ahhhhhh!!!! Crazy huh?! Jack keeps on telling me how old I am, so it must be true. All my older friends tell me that 23 was their best year. I have yet to see, but it is showing great promise. I got to choir on Wednesday and my mother had surprised me with a bright pink and yellow cake. It was wonderful. Rob and Nyelit than took me to see Vantage point. It was way intense but sooooo good.
I will try to keep up a little better with my blogs and try to stay in touch. Have a good week!!
