Don't Put Off Being Happy

"Being single does not mean you have to put off being happy. As President Harold B. Lee (1899–1973) once said: 'Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you, but on what happens inside of you. It is measured by the spirit with which you meet the problems of life.' "
~James E. Faust

This quote can also apply to married people as well. Everyone has ups and downs in life, but it's how we face them that matters.

EVMCO Again

I went to another one of EVMCO's concerts and once again, it was amazing! I think my most favorite so far is the one at Christmas time. Other things I love about the concerts are how cheap the tickets are and knowing everyone in the choir and orchestra volunteer their time.

A Temple is Coming to Town

A little over a month ago a friend took a picture of me on the Temple site in my city. I'm really excited that their finally starting to build it. I volunteer at a Temple about 30 minutes away so I'm hoping to transfer to this one once it's finished.

It was so bright out there!

Up and Coming...

I know I haven't updated in quite a while. So here is a list of things I'm going to write about soon to come.

-San Diego
-Temple
-Family Reunion
-EVMCO

Sleep Over

A few weeks ago my roommate and I had a friend spend 2 days at our house because she was sick and needed round the clock help. So we pulled my mattress in to Jen's room and had a sleep over. I thought it was pretty funny. I felt like a kid again.

The kitties had fun too. :)

Buddies

The girls were so cute sleeping together today. I thought I'd share. :)

Volunteering

I started volunteering at a hospital a few weeks ago. It's actually the hospital my old roommate, who just got married, works at as a dietitian. I get off at noon so we meet up and each lunch together in the cafeteria. It's fun. And bonus is I get to eat for free!! It's pretty sweet.

Right now I just go once a week, but I might start going more. I'm on the 3rd floor at the Telemetry unit sitting at the nurses station answering patients calls. It's called call lights. If they need medicine, IV stuff I get the nurse. For little things I page the CNA. Sometimes I go help the patient myself. I really enjoy it. I like not being the patient for once and seeing how the nurses and doctors interact behind the scenes. I noticed right off the bat the doctors think they own the place.
My first day there a cardiologist (heart doc) is sitting next to me on a computer and he randomly says do you have trouble breathing sometimes? I said yeah and then I asked how did he know and he said because of my voice. Crazy!

They gave me a shirt and badge to wear. I am official.
