P.S.

I was feeling nostalgic the other day and remembered this great doll I was given for Christmas when I was about 7 years old so I tried to find it online. I remember that this doll was the only thing my I wanted so of course my mom had to get it... haha

After a bit of research I found the name of the doll (Magic Nursery Doll) and a great video of the commercial that caused a frenzy in toy stores for at least one Christmas shopping season. Enjoy:

SOOOOOOOO

So I felt there are just a few things I should write considering it has been almost 3 months since my last post. First: I moved back to Utah the beginning of May and I am way excited to be back, but I am missing my friends from Indiana a ton!! I have a few special friends coming back to Utah for school in the fall and I am way excited to have them here!! Second: Although I am way excited to be back in Utah and close to family I have already had to deal with the pleasures of family drama by being so close... I know that there is always good with the bad, but at the same time it reminds me of the liberation of family drama while I was in Indiana these past two years... It stresses me out and I'm sure I'll be used to it again in a little while, but the shock of it all again has really worn me down.. Third: I am NOT happy with the current state of the economy... Today GM filed bankruptcy, I have been home for over 3 weeks and I still don't have a job (the money is quickly running out), my mom can't find a decent job so she is at risk of losing her house and car (she was layed off from her previous job due to cut backs brought on by the ever plummeting economy...)Basically I am stressed...

Oh, so my sister is getting really close to having her little boy which is way exciting!! And my sister in law may have her little girl next week which is also super exciting!! I am so blessed to have such a great niece and nephew and I am looking forward to the new additions. :)

Well this is about all I can think to write about for now.

Peace :)

Chicago

This past week has been Spring Break, and a much needed Spring Break at that! My friend Katie and I decided to head up to Chicago for a few days. It was a complete blast! It did rain on us most the first day so we came back soaked since we decided to walk everywhere.. haha.. We spent a lot of time walking around and visiting random places such as Millennium Park, some art gallery that used to be the city library, tons of shops, Tiffanys! (I almost fainted it was so AMAZING!!!), the Hershey store where we argued about how to pronounce Reese's, over a scary bridge that rises up (I'm not a fan of bridges in any sense), and we ordered an authentic chicago style pizza (and got lost finding the pizza place). We stayed at an amazing hotel that we found through one of those discount websites, we were super lucky to get a really good hotel! It was probably one of the best nights of rest of my life! The next day it was freezing cold but we made a trip to Navy Pier and got to experience the daily adventures of the city bus. We were confused about where we were going on the way to Navy Pier so we decided to follow another person we knew was going to the pier... We are sneaky like that! We got lost coming back to Muncie, and ended up paying a few too many tolls because of it... All in all we had a really great time and I can't wait to go back again!

Things are coming around!

So for those of you who don't know, I got into the MSW program at the University of Utah! The program is rather hard to get into so I was scared I wouldn't get in, but I DID!!! When I received the acceptance letter I went into my apartment and was squealing and jumping, and had a huge smile on my face. To say the least I was ecstatic! Also, I am almost done with my time in Indiana and while I am extremely excited to have my degree and be moving back to Utah, I was really scared not knowing what I would be doing when I came back to Utah. NOW I KNOW!
Also, I have two little babies being born in my family this summer, a boy and a girl! I am so EXCITED about this!!! This doubles the amount of nieces and nephews in my family, and I look forward to living close to them and being able to watch them grow up! I'm going to cut this short since I can't focus, but I wanted to get it out there about the recent developments in my life!
Peace :)
