Wow, life has been crazy! I feel like I can finally breathe a bit, but this weekend is not going to be any slower =). Between working from home (about 10hrs a week), reading & writing for my literature class (which takes forever!), babysitting in trade for Tyler's Pre-school 3 days a week(for an adorable 18month old boy), interviews (for another side job for me, 3 this week alone!), church calling (activity days leader), and home life (which never stops, of course).... I'm exhausted! Luckily my Mom takes the boys for me when I need some quiet time to get work or school done. They got to spend two nights over there this week which helped me a ton! I don't know what I'd do without her!
This week I have been at two different hospitals visiting friends and family. Monday I had the opportunity to sit with a friend for a few hours while her husband underwent heart surgery. We played games in the waiting room and tried to keep her mind off things. I was so happy to be able to be there when the surgeon came out to give her the good news that everything went well but was amazed at how serious the situation was at such a young age. It was a miracle and really reminds you how fragile life is. Those kinds of experiences, to be with people when they need someone the most, are what make me SO happy. I was glad I was given that chance.
On Wednesday my family and I visited with my Grandma at a different hospital. She had undergone stomach surgery after being rushed to the Emergency Room Saturday with stomach pain. They did the surgery that evening but didn't tell anyone just how serious everything was until afterwards. The doctor told my grandma that after they had gotten the MRI results, they realized if they waited another hour or two she would have died. None of the family realized the severity of it until long after the surgery. Thankfully everything went well and she can now recover at home. I love her so much, I had panicked when I got the call last week, but quickly felt peace that she would be okay. The Lord definitely answers prayers, there were a ton being said for her.
Josh is still job hunting and has had a couple phone interviews, but nothing too promising yet. He goes and studies with a friend three days a week for about 5 hours a day for his upcoming PE Test (Professional Engineering). It's at the end of April, so he and his friend are studying their hearts out trying to prepare for this insanely difficult, ALL day, test. I am proud of him for working so hard on it and really hope he passes (say some prayers for him) =).
Tomorrow we get to enjoy General Conference (which I am excited about), My Nephew's State soccer game (Go Dallin!), grocery shopping (blah!), house cleaning (double blah! If I have time), I get to shadow someone for a couple hours at my possible new job, then I'm off to a night out with the girls to say goodbye to a friend who's moving out of state. Sound busy? Yeah, I'm crazy!
I need a vacation =) from life =) lol
Oh yeah! An exciting piece of news from last week is that I got a 97% on my midterm! Yay me! =) lol

Congrats on the midterm grade! Sounds like you are really, really, really busy. I hope Josh aces his test and that everything turns out well for you guys. You've been in my thoughts and prayers.
Busy busy busy!! I hope all goes well for you all! And I'm glad to hear you're doing well with school! Ison has been doing well with his first 2 college classes...it actually makes me want to go back to school again! Which I might end up doing, since he is in school at night and I would be home alone... :)
Tell Josh I miss him. We're blazing through AZ for a few days next week and we hope to be able to drop by!
