Hello!

As you can tell it's been a while since I wrote in my blog and I thought I'd do a quick update on my life.

PA interview went well & I was accepted. I start school in a month on June 7. It sure is coming quickly. I've been trying to live my life to the fullest before the intense program starts and I have to time for a life. I've been playing tennis, going country dancing, hiking, and biking, and spending time with those I love. It really has been a great couple of months.

I've recently moved into Mesa and loving it. I love being close to everything and to the LDS YSA social scene. There has been too many things going on for me to make it to everything, but I've definitely been enjoying what I've made it to. I live with one other girl, Natasha, and we get along really well. We do our things but love to catch up at the end of the night. She's a gastro/entero dietician and busy with that. It's a change living with one girl from four girls. I miss the excitement out at the old house in QC, but this living set up will be perfect once school starts and all I do is study. Nice and quiet!

My dating life has picked up since I moved to Mesa. That's nice to be pre-occupied and not have as much time to think about Steve. I still see him occassionally at country dance and whatever function we both make it to. We get along well enough, but not quite buds yet. I struggle with the transition of dating to friends. That's pretty hard for me, but with time it all works out ok.

I'm stoked to be going to visit Amie & Mat in NC in a week and a half. It'll be fun to see their place and just relax for a bit after quitting at Dr. Rhey's and before school starts. There definitely is a lot of change occurring in my life this past while. It's good change, though.

As I meet and interact with new people I learn more things about myself and what I really want to accomplish out of my life. I definitely have a new perspective on things once I can look back on an experience that maybe didn't turn out how I thought would be perfect, when in reality the path that I came across worked out better.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on what is important and what I need to be focusing my time on. I have been amazed to learn more simple trues about the gospel and where my personal religion is measured it. It's always great to re-focus and evaluate what I need to change. I sure loved Pres Faust talk last Sun. He was a hoot and gave such great advice on our self-worth.

Life is good. I'll write more soon.
