decisions & CONSEQUENCES

This topic has been on my mind a lot recently, I just haven't had time to blog about it with the semester finishing up.

                side note- spring semester is officially over! I took my last final this morning and I am completely free now.. well for two weeks until summer semester starts, but for the time being, I am LOVING this feeling. 

Okay back to my original thought.  Life is full of decisions. From the trivial items as to what am I going to wear today to life changing decision like where to go to school, what to major in and one of the biggest decisions, who to marry. Without fail ALL of our choices are followed with consequences and unfortunately, the result of our choices are out of our control. I'm not saying that consequences are always bad consequences can be GREAT, but  good or bad, they come whether we like it or not.

DECISIONS are always followed by CONSEQUENCES. 

"EASY" concept to grasp.  

As I have gotten older I have realized that my choices not only effect me, but they effect others around me. I have learned that it is selfish of me to put my wants and needs before others without considering the effects it will have on the ones I care about.
Decisions and consequences shouldn't be such a hard concept, but when we get caught up in the moments of life we usually act without thinking of the outcome. Sadly, we cannot take back our actions and we are forced to live with the consequences generated by our actions. Gratefully, we learn from our choices and how we react to our situations aids in our character progression.

Loving this quote by Hemingway. 

I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have in life to make my own choices and work through the outcomes, good or bad. I have definitely learned many lessons from this "simple concept" and look forward to many more lessons life has in store for me.

.. one week left

I can not tell you how much I am anticipating the end of this school semester. I seriously have NO MOTIVATION. This is such a weird feeling for me because I usually love school. School is my number one priority in life right now but I honestly don't care if I do well on my finals, I have no desire to study. I'm trusting this feeling will pass VERY SOON because one week left before finals doesn't give me much time to be a slacker. Good luck with finals and send me some motivation!

My Time At The Hospital

American Fork Hospital

Hospitals. Some people hate them, some people love them. For me, hospitals reminds me of my future goals and they motivate me to continue the path which I have started. Every time I walk into one I picture myself working in only a few short years fulfilling my dreams and loving every second of it. Lately I have been at the American Fork hospital once a week volunteering/interning. It has been such a wonderful experience. I started out in the E.R. and I couldn't have been more excited. I have always wanted to work in the E.R. High impact, working under pressure and not to mention the crazy injuries and stories people have when they come in; all of these aspects drew me to the E.R. So many interesting people walked through those doors while I was there and seeing injuries while learning about what to do for each one fascinated me. But for some reason I became bored with the E.R. and last week I switched to the NURSRY, specifically the NICU. It has only been two weeks and I love it! Every time I go in such a strong feeling of love and compassion comes over me. Last night after feeding one of the babies I held him for about an hour or so just rocking him back to sleep. During this time I couldn't help but turn my thoughts to the Lord and realize that these babies are MIRACLES sent from him. These babies, all babies for that matter, are little angles. So perfect and amazing. Although I cannot do anything technical working in the NICU, and for the most part I just help with holding and feeding babies, I LOVE it so much and I could not ask for anything better. I am definitely blessed for this amazing opportunity.

I like to think Im official when I wear this badge.
Unfortunately I am only a volunteer, but one day I will have that badge that says RN, BSN
Heres to looking forward!
