Sweet Home Arizona

Some days, you believe that you will never move on.
Other days, you realize you have.
It is an amazing feeling.
 I have been missing this recently. I miss the dry dessert landscape. I really never thought that I would say that. This last Christmas, I started crying when I saw a cactus for the first time in 5 months. Really. It is sad. Now it has been over 6 months since being in Arizona. When I left this dessert wasteland three years ago, I swore that I would not miss it. But I do.

Another thing I miss? Monsoons. Rain does not smell as good here in Utah. Utah rain smells like mildew. It is gross. Arizona rain is one of my favorite scents in the world. I am going home in a few weeks and I hope it rains. I hope we get a huge storm so that I can just stand in it and smell the rain. I want to soak in as much of Arizona as I can in 3 days. Please...let it rain
 This is a random post, I know...but I just wanted to blog what is on my mind.
 
Come what may and love it!!

Quick Housing Update

So I got an email yesterday saying that I will get to choose my housing on April 1st. Really, that is pretty good. Housing opens for others on March 28th...and I have heard as far away as April 13th. So I am counting my blessings and hoping that everything that I want to work out will work out. :) Come what may and love it!

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 ...

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!
