So today, my boss and I headed down to the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms. They were so beautiful!!!!!! We walked past the Lincoln, then along the Potomac River to the Jefferson Memorial and the around the tidal basin. See pictures below!
Risk more than others think is safe, care more than others think is wise, dream more than others think is practical, expect more than others think is possible.

New Chapter...!!!!!!
Where do I start?!?!
HELLO FROM WASHINGTON DC! I am now living in Alexandria, VA and working in Washington DC at George Washington University! I literally accepted a job, packed up and moved in 7 days...the quickest cross country move I think I will ever end up pulling off. Luckily I had lots of help from friends and family which made it all possible. I had several friends help me pack up and my landlords were a HUGE help. After packing up everything, I realized my wallet was missing....I had packed it in one of the bags. My landlords went through every single box and bag I had packed until we found it. I will always be appreciative of them helping me in that way. My old boss, Heather, set up two going away parties in less than 24 hours, one with staff from Utah State who I felt close to and with the team. I stayed at her house the night before leaving Logan to spend some time with her and Motley. My visiting teacher, Margaret, the Ericksons, Janet and Todd all helped me pack up my room, car and trailer to get ready for the move. I was able to stay at Kevin's house the night before I left. Tyler flew up to Utah on Sunday night, and we left Monday morning after having breakfast with Kevin.
Housing situation....I made contact with the local bishop of the singles ward out in DC, and a girl in the ward contacted me that night and within a week, we had found a place...this was all while I was still in Utah. I signed a lease and was able to move into our place when I arrived in DC....and my roommate went to Utah State! So that was a huge blessing.
Here is the link to the article about my hire! GW Women's Soccer
At GW, I am coaching soccer. My new boss is awesome. I can't say enough good things about her. I knew her from working camps in Texas this summer and we had kept in touch during our fall seasons. She was hired in December. I have already learned so much from her. One of her friends who was a head coach at Oklahoma came out and helped us for a couple weeks, and I learned a ton from her as well. Both have been very patient with me as I'm learning new things, and how things are to be done in the GW soccer program. The team is awesome....such a fun group of girls! I have thoroughly enjoyed them....they are hard working, respectful, and very driven. I've been keeping plenty busy, but for the next few days I'll be spending some time with my family in Cali before heading back to work!
I feel very blessed for this new opportunity. It will be an exciting new chapter in my book! :)
