Family

Can I just tell you how much I love my family? We've been up here at my in-laws' for General Conference weekend, and I truly am so grateful to be a part of this family.

I also feel honored to be a part of the family I was born into. Due to the passing of my beloved Grandma Tingey, I've been reminded this weekend of how much I love and adore each of them. It's interesting to me how life events like this tend to bring everyone closer together and remind us how fragile life is... and how we need to cherish one another. I feel the need to express my love to my family and close friends. I feel the need to express my gratitude for the simple things in life I tend to take advantage of... my next few posts will be full of the things I love. :-)

Love y'all! Until next time...

September?? What the....

I am in absolute denial that it's September already. This year has flown past me so fast, I can't believe it! I just need to get with the program, I guess. Just take it as it comes- fast, as it is. :-)

Things are going great here in the Sorensen household... We have both started a new semester of school this past week. Scott is an Economics major (Business minor) at BYU, and we are so extremely happy that he will be graduating in the Spring!! We are so excited for what direction life will take us once he's graduated. We hope to get him a job somewhere on the East coast and live on the "wild side" for a while. ;-) (Out of our comfort zones)

I am at UVU studying Behavioral Science... and once this semester is over and I pass all of my classes (fingers crossed, hehe) I'll graduate with an Associates Degree. It's no bachelors, but at least it's somethin'! The plan is to graduate with an Associates, then work to put Scotty through school. Once he's done, I'll go back. What's nice about that is that no matter where I transfer to, they'll honor my degree and I can just get crackin' on my major classes and not have to worry about transferring individual credits- not having to worry about taking classes I've already completed and paid for in order to satisfy another University's requirements. So! That's our plan for the next year or so. 

Until I blog again.... Adios, amigos!

Hello, world!!

The past year has been a good one! I apologize to my frustrated readers who wished I would have blogged.... but- I'm back! I have a goal to write once a week... Don't laugh, it WILL happen! :-)

I know this poem was pushing it, but it's been a lazy Sunday and I thought this would "spice" things up a bit.

Hello world, 

It's been so long

Since I've posted
