The Light Does Exist!

Just when I thought it would never end, IT DOES!
Science classes have NEVER been my forte.
I admit it.
My motto for my science classes has always been
"KILL IT WITH KINDNESS"
and that's just what I have done.

Luckily for me, my major (Deaf Education/Special Education)
doesn't require a lot of science classes.
Did I plan that you may ask?
Well yes indeed my friend!

Here are the classes that I have been SO "blessed" to have taken...

#1
This class was SO hard!! ok...any science class is hard for me.
BUT...the problem with this class was that the teacher had such a passion
for anatomy that he would talk EXTREMELY fast and
would leave you in the DUST!

I would even type my notes on my computer but unfortunately it didn't really help.
The hardest part of this class was learning how
to pronounce the names of all the body parts.
Who ever came up with all those names is CRAZY!!
I just like things to be simple & sweet.
Forget about the long names that you can't pronounce.
Let's just call it an arm bone, a leg bone, a head, etc. (hahahaha)
Its a BEAUTIFUL idea right?! RIGHT!!

#2
Oh chemistry. I admit, this was a little easier for me.
Just a LITTLE.
My teacher was such a cute, old man who loved bird watching.
How would I know that, you may ask?
WHELP...he told my class.
I still didn't do too hot on the tests but I managed to muddle through this class.

#3
Ok, I've already told you enough about Meteorology so we'll keep it short.
I admit, the information I learned in this class was VERY interesting.
I never really understood how many things played into Meteorology such as:
Ocean currents
El Nino/ La Nina
Wind currents
Mesoscale winds
Plate Tectonics
Latitude/Longitude
ETC....

But boy, I'm SO glad this class is over because of this one issue,
my teacher only had 50 mins each class so to squeeze everything in,
she'd talk at the speed of lightning. LITERALLY!
I'd always leave this class with my brain hurting because well....
it was on information OVERLOAD!!

All in all, I'm SO glad my science credits are over.
I can now focus on my forte....

Deaf Education/Special Education
Oh how I love ASL. mmmm....

Let's Reflect A Little Shall We....

Lately I've been thinking a lot about families. No family is perfect and each is different in their own way. Heavenly Father put us with our family members for a reason and I think many of us tend to forget that, especially when we go through certain stages in our lives and when arguments occur.

I often reflect on my family and how much they mean to me. Our family isn't perfect but its perfect to me. We do our best at saying family prayers each night and we always do our best to have family dinner, which is always so much fun. Conversations range from how our day was at work/school to how our day was in general. AND THEN....sometimes we pull out some Brian Reagan jokes or we'll start quoting some other comedians like Bill Cosby.

So anyways, my point to all this...My mom was looking at our family scrapbooks this past week and later on I started looking through them as well and I couldn't help but
laugh when I saw some pictures. We were so cute and little and now we're so cute and tall...well minus me of course. haha. But as we've grown up, I can honestly say that my family members are my best friends.

My parents are more than I could ask for. My dad always shares spiritual insights and loves to watch Psych with me. My mom is always willing to help with any project, test, party, etc that we may be having. Beau (well according to the temple workers, is my husband) hahahahaha BUT he is such a great example of service and how to work hard. Skyler is so humble about his basketball skills and is so self-discipline. And Keaton...well in a nutshell he is a great example of what it means to be friends with anyone and everyone. And he always has the funniest jokes and
stories. Even though we may get in occasional disagreements, we are
a family and we love each other.

So without further a dew, lets reflect a little....
