I'm not trying to narcissistic, but I did want to write more about me and who I am as a person. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know who I am, a daughter of God, and because of this knowledge I'm so blessed.
I just graduated from Cal State San Bernardino with my BA in Sociology. I haven't used my degree in any way as of yet, and don't plan on using it any time soon. I currently teach piano lessons to 13 awesome people; mostly kids and they are awesome! I love teaching piano. It is my passion. It doesn't feel like a job to me at all. I look forward to teaching piano every single day. I have played the piano for about 17 years. Crazy I know! I love that I'm able to share my talents and passion with so many others in such a way that it can and has changed their lives.
Anthony and I are enjoying our time together without many other obligations to worry about. I love being out of school and having him home more often. It's the best.
Anthony and I just got TV. We've been married just shy of 4 years and haven't ever had cable. Many people thought we were crazy, but with both of us being full time students, and working 2-3 jobs each, we weren't home much. By the time we got home is was late and we had homework to complete. Plus it seems like everything on that late is not worth watching anyway. Now that we are both finished with school and Anthony has settled into his job and I've enjoyed teaching piano (and after getting an awesome deal) we decided to give tv another try. It was set up this past week and Anthony is loving his sports channel and I'm enjoying "The Price is Right", "Jeopardy", "Wheel of Fortune" and "House Hunters". I'm looking forward to watching "The Amazing Race" and "The Voice" on tv rather than on the internet. What seems to boggle my mind though, is that now that we have tv, I don't even really care to watch it much. I have never been a big TV show watcher anyway, but I realized there is a bunch of junk on tv now! Oh well, we like it for the sports and occasional game show! : )
As I've shared in previous posts, I really enjoy running. It's weird to think that I would ever say those words, but its true. Running is now a new passion of mine. Well not just running, but working out in general. I feel so much better about myself because I'm exercising and losing weight. I'm happier and have more energy. I sleep better at night and don't crave sugar as much anymore. I never thought that I could do all this without going on a diet, but it's possible! Eating healthy and exercising is the best way to lose weight. It's not a quick fix, like all the fad diets out there, but it is a long-lasting positive change that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Eating healthy and exercising is a lifestyle.
I have an amazing family. I have awesome in-laws. I love all of them so much. Anthony is the best thing that ever happened to me. He is the love of my life and my best friend. I'm so thankful to be able to be with him for eternity. That's right, I don't believe in "to death do us part". I know that families are eternal and they continue on after this life. That is such a huge blessing.
I continue to learn new things about myself everyday. I'm trying to become a better person and push myself to be more understanding, loving, charitable and forgiving. It's not easy, but I know that as I do this I will become the person that my Heavenly Father wants me to be. I know that He will help me through to become the best me possible.
There is a lot going on in my life right now. Some really hard and personal trials that I've been dealing with for many years. Some of you already know, but some don't. I will post about this later as I know it will help me to talk to others about it.
I know that so many of us are going through hard times and it sometimes feels unbearable. Don't give up. Keep your chin up. Things will get better. One thing I've learned to do is to look at the big picture. It's hard to do, but once you can see the big picture of your situation, you learn more about yourself and what you can do to get through those hard times. Also you have the Lord on your side. He knows and understands you and what you are going through. What a blessing!
These are just a few things about me. Let me know if there is anything else that you would like to know about me or if there is any way that I can help you! I
