Seasons

Spring is almost here! It is my favorite time of year. I love how everything comes back to life, the fresh sent after a rain and the warm sunny days after the bitter cold. I have been contemplating the changes in my own life. I have always been an "on the go" type of person: work, school, internship, church...etc. After about 20 years of school I am finally moving on. In 2 weeks I will be defending my thesis and graduating in April. I will also be done working. As the season of my life moves from school, work etc. to wife hood and motherhood I can't help but reflect upon those past experiences.

2007--As of late I worked with the rugby team. What an adventure!! Here is a video to prove it. (Rob the star of the show, did this routine weekly--in front of the mirror I might add).

Disclaimer: not all rugby players are like Rob.

Vito, Steve, Duran, and Tua (Lt to Rt) were some of regulars in the training room due to injuries.

2005-2007--I spent a year and a half working with dancers as an athletic trainer. My love for music and dance was enhanced and of course I made many good friends and many good memories. One of the highlights was going on Tour with the modern dance team (and Jared) to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.


2005--I taught in the MTC! I look back at that experience as one of my best jobs ever. Just the other day I ran into one of the missionaries that I taught and he is now working at the MTC. While we were in Jamaica I also saw two Elders who I had taught in the MTC.

2005--I finally finished my undergraduate degree and then went on to get my master's. I was planning on leaving and getting a job but, I met a good looking guy who was motivation enough for me to stay.


2004--I worked with the Lacrosse team. Lucky me thats were I met Jared! I was invited to got to Maryland with the team and that is when Jared and I got to know each other better. He asked me out when we got back. Our first data was at Mimi's Cafe and ever since then we knew we were going to be together. This picture is when we were in Maryland and Jared was teaching me how to eat crab. He was checking to see if I would get my hands dirty while eating crab. Well it looks like I past the test.

2002-2004--I served a year and a half mission in Brazil. It's hard to articulate the whole mission in one sentence but lets just say it helped mold who I am and what I want to become.


2002--I was a trainer for the BYU track team.

2001--I was a trainer for BYU football. I have a friend who plays for the Steelers. GO STEELERS (I root for the Steelers in opposition to my husband who is a Patriots fan and declares that our children will be Patriots fans also).

2000--Worked at Timpview High school as a trainer. I even got to be a trainer for my brother David who was going to school there at the time. I even got to train for him during his state wrestling match. I got to be on the mat just in case anyone got hurt, and it took all the discipline in the world not to cheer for my brother.

I think part of me will miss all the action. I love to be busy and on the go. Now life is settling down a bit (any mother reading this is probably laughing) I know Jackson will keep me busy but it will be a different busy. I am ready for a new adventure and the most important part is that I've got my boys with me as I go through it!
