God is Always There

This seems to be a lesson that I keep having to learn over and over again. Heavenly Father is always there for us, even when we don't want Him to be. I cannot express in words how thankful I am to have a Heavenly Father who knows me so well and knows my needs so much better than I do.

Let's rewind to two weeks ago:
I was having a particularly stressful week at work. On Monday that week, I was put into Inspection with a lady I had never really worked closely with before. Everything was fine, but I didn't completely know what I would be doing the next day. The lady I was working with told me "Oh, I will just tell you what to do in the morning". Okay. That is fine with me. So the next morning I go into the room and start doing what she had told me to start before she got there. I was polishing capsules and the machine just wasn't working right. A supervisor came in and I asked what I was doing wrong. We come to find out that the humidity was too high to make the machine work. This is also when I found out that the lady who was supposed to be there wasn't there. Great... now what? So I asked a supervisor what I was supposed to do, and he told me to start inspecting again. So I did. This lady decided to be out for 2 days. Yeah, my life was great. Let's step back a minute. So I had decided that that Friday I was going to give my two week notice. Note: I had not given any sort of indication as to when I would be leaving yet.

Continuing on. I was in inspection for 2 days doing what I thought I should be doing. Other people were there as well, so I was not alone in the room. When this lady came back she was MAD. And she decided to take it all out on me. I felt so degraded and hurt that I barely made it through first break without crying. She kept telling me all the things that I had done wrong (which most of them actually weren't my fault, but someone elses) and telling me what I should have done (but I didn't know because she didn't tell me!). Anyway, I was ticked. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am so grateful for my job, but some days are always better than others. That day was so bad that I was so close to just saying that the next day (Friday) was going to be my last day. I was figuring in my head the best person to tell and how to tell them and best time to tell them. As I am thinking all this, I find out that they want me to work in the lab every morning to help them get caught up on stuff. Of course I told them right then that I was planning on giving my two week notice and they said that was fine I could still work in the lab.

So for the past week and a half I have been working in the lab in the mornings. I have loved using the things I learned in my Biotechnology class in the real world and to get out of production for a few hours every day. And it kept me working and saving up money for my schooling, which is exciting! :)

Now I am entering my last week of work. I am excited because it means I am a lot closer to going back to Utah and seeing all my best friends again. This summer has been great, but I am ready to get back to "Normal Life" (whatever that is ;) ). It seems to me that I can almost trace every event in my life to Heavenly Father. He has an active hand in helping me, even when I am being a "natural man" and think that I know what is best.

Oh...and for those who are curious as to where I work and what I do, here is a video:

Just remember, come what may and LOVE IT! :)

Freshman Mentoring?

You want me to be honest? I really have no idea what Freshman Mentoring is or what it is good for. But it is required, so I have to do it. I had to sign up for a 'bundle'. The first bundle I signed up for was just a general writing class. I am actually very excited for it! I hope that it won't be too hard, but I also hope that I learn a lot. Oh, and did I mention that it is at 8 am! Sigh...I think this will actually be better in the long run. Hopefully... The second bundle I signed up for was suggested for elementary education majors. It combines biology and human development. Basically, all that means is a lot of people will be in both classes with me. I am excited for this, so that I will be get to know people with the same major. Also, I think these will be some of my favorite classes. I am actually excited that my college schedule is forming. It makes me so excited to see my future falling into place. CRAZY!

Mitch- Your Birth Story

When I was pregnant, I was obsessed with reading other’s birth stories. Now, I feel like it is only fair that I write one of my own.   To Mitch-   It is ironic that you were born the week of the April General Conference. A year earlier- your father and I had received the inspiration that we needed to start trying to have a child much earlier than we had originally planned. We followed Heavenly Father’s counsel and had faith that it would work out. Now we have you! Your due date was March 24, 2016. I thought you would come early, but you apparently had other ideas. You decided to come late.  Every morning that week, I would wake up and check to see if my water had broke. Every morning, I was disappointed. I went into work on the 25 th and it was one of the most miserable days because I didn’t expect to be there. You silly goose! You kept us guessing from the very beginning. Your dad and I went into my doctor’s appointment on the 25 th . I still had not made any progr...

Let's Talk About Allergies- Allergy FAQ

I want to put into perspective a moment from my life into terms that you might be able to relate with more… You are walking with your two-year old in the park. As you are walking, you see right in front of you a gun on the ground. What are your immediate thoughts and feelings? Are you worried about the safety of your child? The gun might not be loaded. Why not just let them play with it or even just touch it? OF COURSE YOU WOULDN’T THINK THAT! Any parent’s first reaction would be of fear and worry. You would think what if your child had been alone for that moment and found the gun by themselves. What if they had picked it up? What if they would have killed themselves accidentally? This is exactly how I felt when I walked through the park one day and saw a peanut shell on the ground. I was so grateful that I was holding Mitch’s hand in that moment. I am so grateful that I could just walk away with him. But still- those feelings and thoughts were there. What if in that one ...
