Hello Christmas...Where has the time gone?

So, Christmas has come and gone...and with that I have lost almost 3 months. Oh my, I guess I have been busy!

I don't even know how to update, so I will just say I have been working and going to school and relief society presidenting again.

Work has been really great. They asked me to get some extra training so that I could be med trained, which means that I am able to better help with physical ailments of the girls I work with. I am really loving work and am starting to feel like I have a connection with the girls. I LOVE my coworkers. They are really great. I feel super supported and feel like I can conquer the world with them by my side. We also have a lot of fun together. I think I already said this, but I work with Katie (Skillin) May and we get to have fun and hang out sometimes when we are not working. A couple of weeks ago, I headed up to Cedar and went to see the Muppets with her husband and sister. It was super fun. Chelsea and I went on the date together so we could get all the same date deals!

School has been unfulfilling. But that is okay. I am nearing the end of my college career and just have a couple of odds and ends classes to take. I feel like I am spending most of my time either at work or thinking about work. School is really on a back burner. But I put in enough energy to get by with A's or A-'s. Dixie has been good to me. I am very excited for the upcoming Senior Recital that will be taking place somewhere in the Summer of 2012. It should be a pretty riveting recital. No dull moments please!! I just don't roll that way.

And for my new calling. I am loving it. It really gives me a chance to break out of my boring life. There are two relief societies in my ward, so I have a great seasoned friend that is the other relief society president that is always willing to help. My Bishop is super involved and I really love our ward. It is such a friendly atmosphere and everyone strives to be better.

Currently, I am in Las Vegas. I have found that I have a hard time relaxing and stepping away. I have been here since Friday and am just starting to relax. Today my father and I worked on a desk I am making for my room in St. George. With a confined area, we have created something that is both functional and brilliant. I found a bookcase and we have built a desk that comes out from the bookcase. The best part is that it is all collapsible and I can fit it in my car. With a lifestyle that is always in the air...it is a necessity for me to be able to pack up and move at a moments notice. This is one of those pieces in my life that helps me to accomplish this.

For all of those who are interested, I am loving life. I really enjoy my job and school and my social life. Things are going well. I do find time for myself where I am usually cleaning or doing some sort of organizing, which I would like to think are my times where I am the most relaxed. I would like to say that I will be much better with blogging in the near future, but I would probably be lying. So, for the sake of honesty, I will hopefully see you sometime in the future. There are no guarantees as to how long the future is, but I will probably see you between now and then.

Love ya
Mikayla
