Stepping Stones to Our Futures

Kory is going to Asia in a few weeks with the BYU Asia Business Study Abroad program!! I am so excited for him, it is going to be such an incredible experience.  I am extremely passionate about traveling, I think you gain so much education and experience through seeing other parts of the world.  I am so excited he has the chance to participate in this competitive program.  He'll be gone for 4 weeks, but I'll have people come stay with me and be working full time so I won't get too lonely.

Work is going really well.  I really, really like my job and I am having fun gaining more responsibility and learning more processes and procedures each day.  I've actually found that I really like having a career in retail, I like the random schedule that gives me a chance to sleep in a couple of days a week.  I like that there is something new going on every day.  I like that I can leave for work 8 minutes before I have to be there and have a couple of minutes to spare, amazing!

I have found a new love for reading.  I have NEVER enjoyed reading, but for some reason in the last couple of months I have started to really find it entertaining.  I have only made it through one book (which is amazing for me), and I have a good start on my second.  We'll see if this becomes a new love for me.  Anyone have any books they suggest?

I just started getting sick, so I had to come home early today.  I'm heading to bed now so that I can be rested for tomorrow.  Thanks to doTERRA essential oils, I haven't gotten sick for very long all year!  Hopefully that trend sticks!  Kory and I started learning about how essential oils work as natural remedies in December, and we've seen some powerful things happen by using them.  I love learning more about how our bodies work, and how we've been given tools in nature to keep them at their best.  We're going to have a doTERRA Wellness booth at the Utah Valley Women's Expo!  Come see us and get a hand treatment of facial, it's going to be lots of fun!

Sorry I don't have any pictures to post! When I get pics from the BYU Traditions Ball I will post them.  Love you all!

So excited for Kory to go to Asia! He better bring me back something cool :) I'm glad you are liking your job too. By the way, I used the lavendar oil on a burn today and it was seriously a MIRACLE! I didn't feel any pain afterwards. Amazing!

I have been reading like a maniac (my poor neglected kids!). I would suggest the Fablehaven series, anything by Shannon Hale or Jessica Day George too. All of those are entertaining and easy read, and all are LDS authors too. Are you on Goodreads?

that is so great for the both of you! what position do you have a Sears exactly? Sounds like the summer is going to be pretty busy for both of you! What book was it that you just finished? I'm a new found book reader myself and I find that if I get a book recommended to me... I like it that much more. Good luck with all the adventures and Let me know!

That is going to be so neat for Kory! It sounds like you'll be busy, but we'll definitely have to hang out!

Carissa, I'm so glad you used doTERRA's lavender on your burn! How awesome. Sorry I missed your call, I was at work.

Oh that is fun! yeah the twilight series sucks you in for sure. I really enjoyed them. Not the best, but I realized i liked reading, but only if the character is telling the story in first person. I don't like reading description after description of what is going on. I like first hand experience kind of stuff! So if you know of any books like that, Let me know!!! Wow... sounds like a pretty intense job as Sears. Hope you keep having fun!

Thanks for stopping in at my blog too! It's been fun catching up with everyone!
