I just love The Piano Guys!

The original song became one of my favorite songs when one of my patient's mom's would play it every morning to wake up her son. He hated waking up and getting ready for another day of intensive therapies after his TBI. This was a good way to ease in the morning. I have been in the habit of waking up and going to sleep to it. The Piano Guys have made it even better! Love it! Thanks BriAnne for showing this to me!

More Choices, Chances, & Changes...

Well, it is time for more changes. I have moved in with my visiting teacher. It is nice to finally be all settle into my new place. I now live in a townhouse with a Mindy & Jenna. Today I got all out of my apartment and was lucky enough to have my mom come help me. I'm so tired of moving boxes and very glad to be all settled into my new place. I am also super excited because we get to go to Lake Powell this weekend.

I am so blessed and grateful. I know that Heavenly Father has  a  plan for me (even though I don't get to know all the details when I want to) and that my life is full of tender mercies, if I will but take the time to notice them. I am so grateful for the inspiration that lead to Mindy being my visiting teacher and opening up the way for us to have a place to live together. Well, I can't wait to meet my new ward!

Tending Hazel

My little niece is super cute, if you haven't noticed, and I got to tend her while her parents celebrated their anniversary. This little girl already has super good manners!

Thank you for tending me last night Aunt McKell! I love you!!! love Hazel

Hazel Day 3: Home from the Hospital

It was so much fun yesterday I got to help take care of Hazel (the day she came home from the hospital). After a Cafe Rio dinner complete with a key lime pie (my favorite), I got to help give Hazel a bath!

This is the cute text message I got today at work:

Thanks for all your help Aunt McKell! i love you!

Babies are such little miracles! It is so amazing that most of the time everything forms just so perfectly. They are so cute; just a bundle straight from heaven. They are a lot of work, but then again anything worthwhile is. I'm so grateful for my job. Even with the nights and weekends, it makes it so that my four days a week off can be spend helping others. As hard as the 12-14 hour shifts are, the days off are great. I am also so grateful for family. Having family close together is such a blessing and creates beautiful bonding moments. So yes, yet again I am so blessed to be me!
