Ups and Downs

Lately my life has been filled with some ups and some downs.


I got a new job as the Supervisor of Pink and Beauty at Victoria's Secret!
DOWN's:  I've been at Icing for nearly two years. I will miss my friends from Icing. Its always scary to start over... what if no one likes me... and I have no friends at my new job... what if I'm no good at supervising? Starting at VS changes my school schedule and graduating timeline.
UP's: New opportunity to expand my talents. They recruited me and wouldn't take NO for an answer! (a huge compliment!) I will receive a raise from my current salary, always a blessing!

G starts school next Monday!
DOWN's: It means even less time with G. We might need to take out another student loan.
UP's: G is getting closer to getting a degree!!!

I was asked to teach a lesson at Enrichment Night on making homemade cards!
DOWN's: I was nervous to teach in front of people. I've never made homemade cards before. I just gained an expensive new hobby...
UP's: I know have learned I have a great talent for making homemade cards! My teaching wasn't so bad and I made lots of new friends!

G and I have now been in the nursery for one month!
DOWN's: I haven't been to Relief Society in a month. I come home from church feeling sticky.
UP's: Snack time. I've made friends with the cutest children on the planet! I get to spend all three hours of church with my sweetheart!

I went school shopping with my nieces and nephews.
DOWN's: I didn't get to buy any new clothes....
UP's: I HAVE THE WORLDS CUTEST NIECES AND NEPHEWS! After we were done shopping Shan took us out to cheesecake factory for dinner! My nephew Rocky and I wore our matching t-shirts.


Basically Im the coolest aunt ever!

G and I celebrated our six month Anniversary!!
DOWN's: Fastest six months of my life. (I want time to slow down so I can enjoy every second!)
UP's: Six months down... eternity to go!! Plus G and I are basically pro at this whole marriage thing!

So in conclusion I've decided perspective is everything. You can choose to focus on UPs... or you can focus on DOWN's. Also on a completely unrelated side note... I watched an extremely wonderful Youtube video. It helped me get prepared for my first week at VS. I think you should all watch this video and be inspired to do great things this week!!
