Spring!

Yes I LONG for spring!!!! I ache for spring!!!! It was nice today I think 58 degrees the sun was shinning bright, with a cool breeze a cooler version of a typical day in San Diego. I keep trying to find moments when I can feel the sun beaming on my face. Like a booth near the window at Pier 49 (my favorite pizza place) I sat there on the very corner of my seat practically glued to the window a small beam was coming through only touching half of my face. It was heavenly -- and this was two days ago when it was in the thirties again. Thank goodness it was warmer today. I don't think I was built for the cold. The snow is beautiful don't get me wrong-- breathtaking most of the time but oh so cold. I just love the sun, being tan, it warms my soul... it makes me feel happy. Anytime I think that I am so settled here now in utah.. I wouldn't go back to SD even if all the planets are aligned ... etc...then I suddenly get beyond homesick. I don't know what is up with me. Its not just the people there --like my family-- its the culture, the beach, the sun, ...eveything that is familiar. BUT we are on a new adventure now, a new chapter if you will... and I am excited to see what the future holds and what we will and are learning here. We are shaping who we are -- building our character -- and becoming who we need to be... I don't desire for life to be easy just worthwhile. I want to see the beauty all around me no matter where in the world I happen to be-- however I will always love and need the sun. So spring... hurry up.... I can't wait much longer!!!

LIMO RIDE!!!!






So yea, if you haven't figured it out yet Primerica is an AWESOME company to work for! So i passed my test and did 2 life applications with Brandon so we earned a Limo ride and dinner out!!!! Josh rents the enormous HUM-V limos and we go out to dinner all who earned it and have a BLAST!!! (we dont pay a thing!!!)I have gone on more limo rides in primerica this past year than I have in my entire life. 3 so far and we are just getting started. This friday is going to be so awesome and I think its great that Josh picked Friday the 13th to prove that life is great and negativity can be cast aside and you can have a blast anyway!! The best part is that its such an incredible feeling to do what is right for families. To put money BACK INTO their budget, get them properly protected so they can have peace of mind and help them save for the future. To have a plan and one you can easily afford so great. To see hope back in families lives. Dreaming wasn't just meant for children. There is so much to experience in this life so go out there and make your dreams come true it is possible!!! Doesn't mean its going to be easy but it is within reach and if you need our help we are always here for you. You know our number. can I just say that I LOVE my job!!! Helping families is awesome!

Wahooooo!!!!

I PASSED MY TEST!!!!! I'm so excited I'm almost jumping out of my skin. I did it!!! See, with God anything is possible!!!! This was such a huge accomplishment for me. This morning I was so nervous I almost threw up. I knew this was it, my big moment and I did it!!! My Dad is even flying up here to see me get recognized at our primerica office tomorrow night. Can I just say that life is wonderful. You can do hard things, accomplish your goals and come out smiling in the end. All the hard work, effort and sacrifice is sooooo worth it and Primerica is such an amazaing company to work for to boot!!!!
