Being Thankful...

So many things happened in 2009 and the year isn't over yet. wow. I wonder what December has for me.... heh!

My favorite highlights of 2009 are:
-- Interned at CSD Fremont with Jaime
-- Graduated with Masters from USU and my mom, sister, and brother were able to celebrate with me.


-- Traveled in Romania, Italy and France with my favorite couple, Emily and Nils

-- Visited with Ace in Wisconsin, saw the Cave of Mounds

-- Started a new life in SLC in 2-bedroom apt without roommates!
-- Sowing efforts in my teaching career

I succeeded in internship because I was with the fun-loving Jaime. She is the best. I succeeded in getting my Masters because of many support I received from family, VR, friends, professors and many others. I succeeded in traveling in Europe because of my credit card and willingness from Emily and Nils to have me aboard. I succeed in looking the beauty of Wisconsin because of Ace's willingness to show me around his home state. I succeeded in moving in a new place and new job because of the support I received from my family, friends, and others.

I thank my Heavenly Father for sending you people in my life. He blessed me these things through you. Thank you.

Heading into a New Chapter in my Life

As most of you already know from word of mouth or facebook, I have decided to go a different path and Ace goes on his path. There are so many history between us that I couldn't really sum it up well but will try. I have good memories and educational experiences with Ace. I don't feel any regret of spending my 2 years with him. I learned more what I want in a future husband. I learned more about myself, what I need to improve. I view Ace as one of my dearest friends. As I look back in my past, it has lessons for me to remember and try not to repeat history. I struggle to find a guy that I completely want to spend my life with no doubt. I didn't feel that desire with Ace or any past boyfriends. I need to believe that I can feel this way and not have to view marriage as an obligation. I used to feel that I have to hurry and get married because it is my only duty to be a wife and mother.



Now, I am free to choose. I am free to live in my dream. I am learning what marriage means and I am free to wait, no rush into marriage. I can learn to enjoy my teaching job. I am free to make my schedule on my terms. I'm smiling because I can create a future the way I want it to be and still be realistic. I am willing to try again, get up and go with more faith.
