Happy Birthday to Me (yesterday)

It seems weird to be 28. Some moments I feel like I just graduated high school. But yet the very next thought is that I am happy where I am at in my life. It quite different from what I had envisioned when I was in high school. I remember my dream back then is that I would be working at the Olympic Training Center developing fitness programs for the athletes there. I would be married and have kids and of the course the perfect marriage (HA! HA!) and of course I would never have lived in Utah or still be living in Utah.

So lets see I have lived in Utah for the past 5 years. Instead of developing fitness programs for athletes I am helping people find out what they are allergic to and assisting in removing skin cancer. I am not married and I don't have kids. What I do have though is the title of favorite AUNT. Which I love!!! I am not only an aunt to my brothers and sister kids but to many of my adopted nieces and nephews.

I would never have thought that I would be here but it is a good thing that someone else is actually in charge because I am loving where I am at right now.

I think back and have noticed how by very little events how I have been placed where I have needed to be. I will always remember the day in high school when I received a note saying that a representative from the University of Wyoming wanted to meet with me. I almost didn't go the only reason was because it got me out of a boring class. That meeting changed where I went to college. I loved my time in Laramie. I gained friendship there that I have still today and are thankful for.

I remember when I received a post card advertisement about a school where I could get my nursing degree but in order to do this school I had to become a medical assistant. The only problem with this is that it was in Utah. But hey I finish my degree and I can get out of Utah.

I remember after finishing my medical assisting that I could not get a job for the life of me. I finally applied to the University of Utah Dermatology because I was running out of options. I remember thinking I really don't want to deal with acne and warts. I got the job and have loved every minute of it.

I know this is where I am suppose to be and I am thankful that my Heavenly Father knows me and knows what I need and when I need it even though most of the time I think I know better.
