So long, farewell....

I am reminded of the song by Jesse McCartney that says, "I'm leavin', never lookin' back again." Enough said. Ok, well maybe I've looked back a few times. It's hard to say goodbye to my sweet school of 4 whole years. This is how I felt at first...



Then I came across this picture and it brought peace.

Success come many different ways. There is no one straight path to lead us to success in the workforce. We must find what is right for us and stick with it. The only path that is sure and constant is the path of the Gospel, and that will never change. I feel so blessed to have the Lord with me at all times as I make many decisions that will lead me down my own path of success. With that said, I have a job interview on Thursday... wish me luck!!!

Graduation???

Countless numbers of people have asked me lately if I am excited to graduate. In short, my answer is yes. But, am I really? The question always following the first is, "what are you going to do?" Is this question necessary? Am I supposed to know? The best I can say is that I might possibly have an idea of what my future will hold. Will that be enough to get me through all the criticizing of people who think I should have these things taken care of by now? Is it common to view graduation as more stressful than fun? Because it doesn't seem to be much fun for me. The only thing I miss about nursing school is that when you graduate, you become a nurse. It's that black and white. You don't have 50 million options to explore. Your career path has already been mapped out for you and you can be well on your way. Now don't get me wrong, I do not want to go back and become a nurse, but I did like the idea of knowing what I would do after graduation. The picture is all blurry now. The 2 things I have left to rely on are my Savior and the faith that He will help me, and my hard work. So, if you ask me what I want to do after graduation and I glare at you, do not take it personally. Just know that I am looking for the answers to that question and will gladly accept any input or advice you might have for me.
Then, as I drove away today hearing Macie yell, "I LOVE YOU LIZ!", I grinned and realized that life isn't so bad afterall.

Spring is in the air

Well, we tried to take advantage of the few days of sun this week and had lots of fun.

We had a picnic in the park


Enjoyed the lovely Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving point. I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out. It supposedly ends today, but I can't imagine the tulips will be gone any time soon. It exceeded both our expectations and was such a fun outing.


Then we came across this lovely bush. I said to Nick, "That bush is beautiful"... Just seconds after saying that, I noticed this lovely bush was indeed called the beauty bush. Very fitting name for it don't you think? Out of all the tulips we saw, this beauty bush was the highlight of the day. :)
