Recent Happenings

Recently I....

have been so incredibly busy with school, that I have been losing much needed sleep at night. I am so tired and it is only the 4th week...seriously. I'm not sure how much of this I can take. I am in the most time consuming, confusing class this semester and it seriously consumes most of my life. For instance, yesterday was a real blast. I had work, then institute, and then it was off to meet with my group at 6:30 where we spent a lovely 3 hours discussing what we are going to do. Then, I got to drive 1/2 hour home, where I was finally able to eat dinner and begin that evening's homework. Bed finally became a reality at about 1:30am with a 6:30am wake up call that very same morning. I'm pretty sure, it is not beneficial for me to be eating at 10pm and getting an average of 5 hours of sleep per night, especially since I'm trying so desperately to shed some extra pounds!!

had the privilege of trying something I have never done before. I am the music chair in my ward and was asked to lead our singles ward choir for the Sat session of stake conference. Sigh. Even better, was the fact that I had never heard the song before. Though I was incredibly nervous, and stressed (there was a General Authority there), I managed to do a pretty good job. I got so many compliments and my choir did an amazing job...YAY!! Success!!

have taken on the challenge to lose weight. I have been trying to go to the gym regularly and have been making a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to eat better. It is sort of working. I have lost about 12 lbs so far, but have a long way to go if I want to fit into my dress by Oct. My mom has 30 years at Edison and they have a formal dinner event that I get to go to. Must lose more weight!!!
