Stand Up Routine in LA

This is Elijah, who gets home in a couple weeks and then Christyn who comes home this summer. They are the best!
If you know what song my post title is from, you're a winner. Congratulations! So, i haven't written anything in awhile, because i guess i feel that not much is going on. But, i will update on things that have happened.
Um, so we are 22 days into the new year and i have flossed every night and i have read my scriptures every night. I have started to take the aerobic classes offered at my work...since they cut my hours i can actually attend some classes. I'm noticing a difference in how i feel. I'm stronger and capable. I've really excited about these habits i'm forming because all of them make me feel better!
School is moving along nicely for now. I have really good classes this semester and i'm positive i'm where i should be. Outdoor recreation management is not ideal for me, but i think that if i stick with it and stay at UVU that i will learn to love it, and then it could be a potential job for me. In my experiential education class we play initiative games every class, and that really helps to get up and move and take a break from lectures and notes!
I'm not sure how many people look at this, but i guess i don't care, cuz i'm sharing all of this anyway! Well, i absolutely LOVE the daily dose of cuteness at the top of my page. My mom will e-mail me on random days when the dog is cute cute cute! But, we realized that pretty much everyday there is a cute dog, and it's a rare or odd occurence when they aren't cute. So.....if you need a pick me up, look at pictures of cute puppy's everyday! It really helps!
Sheesh, i didn't think i would write this much...
So, i have been offered my job at the 'swim desk' again this summer. I got about 40 hours a week and i saved up quite a bit. I like the people there, i'm close to home, and it's in my field of interest. But, i also applied to a job at the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp in Pennslyvania. Today they called and offered me the job for the summer. I would actually make less there than at the swim desk, but the opportunity and experience would be priceless. But, also, 2 of my best friends are coming home from their missions soon. One in a couple of weeks and then the other in june or july. So, that makes me want to stay, but i can't revolve my life around them. So, i guess i'm not sure what i want or what i'm feeling. Could i handle a bunch of rich teenage girls for a whole summer? Could i be across the country taking trips to NY on my days off by myself? I'm worried that the only reason i want the job at the camp is because i want to go to NY and see that stuff and....man....i don't even know.


Well, since this is longer than i thought, and i can't really think of much else, i will bid you farewell!

pray about it. I would have had a much easier life if I would pray for guidance before hand instead of help afterwards. It sounds like staying home would be a really good idea. Sometimes "oppotunities" like the camp turn out not to be as good as they sound on paper.

For sure pray about it. But to add a different perspective, the nice thing about your current position in life right now is that you could totally go to Penn without any problem. It'd be an awesome adventure!! If you were married or had kids, it would be much more complicated to go, but you are free and clear! Live it up!! Remember my ex JP? He lives out there and would totally help you out or go to any shows etc in NY so you wouldn't have to be alone. haha I sort of turned him into a Broadway buff.

That would be such a fun adventure! It's true, once you are married and have kids you won't have as many opportunities to do stuff like that. Give it a shot if that's where you feel you should be.
