New Things New Adventures... You know.

Soooo, I officially finished my first week back to school after TWO YEARS! I was so nervous the first day. I was thinking, "what if I don't remember how to do this?" "what if I don't know how to be normal?" I was freaking out! But of course, it worked out (it always does). My first class was Doctrines of the Book of Mormon. What a wonderful class to start of the week and start off the day. My professor is hilarious! We're learning more about the "inside" of the Book of Mormon. More than just reading from cover to cover, but studying and getting lost in its words. I LOVE it!

Then I had my Samoan class! Hahaha! That class is the best! My teacher is from Samoa and he is sooo funny! The class is full of a bunch of polynesian kids and we laugh so much (of course while learning haha).

Then there's my Family Finance class. I love that class too!!! I'm definitely learning in there. AND then there's my Accounting 200 class... First off, my professor is so great! She's funny and very passionate about helping us learn. The class has about 600 students... we have class in the auditorium.  So that's a little different for me, but I'm dealing with it haha!

Along with barely starting school and getting back into the swing of things, James and I have been on a crazy job hunt! And let's just say that the Lord is definitely mindful of all His children. We've been praying and praying for job opportunities and to get hired. After several interviews, God has provided for us :). I got a job at the Missionary Training Center Bookstore. And James got a job and a Pest Control company here in Provo. We are so blessed and we are so grateful!

Well, with all this newness in my life, I've noticed a change in myself. Not a change that I've wanted. I've noticed that I've been a lot more timid. That is not me! I'm not saying that I go up and talk to every person I see. But I'm usually pretty good at talking with others and introducing myself and trying out for clubs or teams, but that hasn't been the case with me. So I'm making a goal with myself and you're going to help hold me accountable.

My goal is to do the things that scare me. 

I know that I can't do EVERYTHING, but I going to try to do almost everything that scares me. Anywhere from asking an employee at Wal-mart for help, to trying out for the intramural soccer team (I'm not actually going to try out for the team--not because I'm scared--just because I don't want to and I don't have time haha, but you get my point). Anyway, it's time for change.

             

 

OH! And here are some more updates to our Utah adventures thus far! We've been to the BYU Creamery! Which is a must if you ever get the opportunity to come to Provo. And we went to the Provo temple, which neither of us had been to since we were missionaries. It was a crazy time capsule thing happening in my mind haha!! And there's this awesome old bookstore that sells a bunch of old/used books! It's so cool!
