Happy Halloween from the Olsen's

I was wandering around a Halloween store a few weeks ago trying to figure out what Jack and I could be for Halloween...it was rough, probably for a number of reasons. Number one reason is that we don't love Halloween anyway, and number two I think I was hungry. Not a good combination I think. My mom would show me something and I just couldn't get behind anything. Then I saw a horse head...and Jules and I casually look at each other and thought, "what if we were Unicorns?" Then I saw some wings and a tail...one thing led to another, a horse head was bought and I decided we were going to be Hercules and Pegasus.

We went to a Halloween party at Sav and Noah's.....

The last couple of weeks have been really busy for me. I started the Respiratory Therapy Aide program. It has been a time commitment and a half...but super enjoyable. It makes me feel like I am progressing to where I want to be going. I go to class every Saturday from 8-5...It always feel a little long. I have met some really nice people. We have learned a lot of awesome stuff about the equipment we will be taking care of, reviewing charts. Its been so awesome. I start my clinicals next week. I am super excited.

I had my interview for the Respiratory Therapy Program last week. That was a busy weekend for me haha. I felt like it went well. I enjoyed the interview process...we had to give a 5 minute presentation of something that makes us famous or unique. I chose skiing/snowboarding. I enjoyed doing it. Then we went through a series of mini-interviews. I liked doing those. I felt like I did very well overall. I should be hearing back by the end of the week. It's always a little nerve wracking to think about the what ifs...but I am feeling pretty good.

Life is going good for Jack as well. He is preparing for an interview with Cicero...he really wants it. I hope that he gets it. I hope that he gets what he wants, he is a hard worker. I always get more worried about him than I do myself.

Similar to my last post but I am feeling a lot of excitement and uncertainty of what my life is going to look like in the next few months. Its exciting when life changes :) I think I just can't get too comfortable wherever I am at.

I am reminded when I was learning Tagalog that sometimes I would be feeling really good about where I was going and how I was communicating with people. Then somedays I would feel like my whole foundation of everything I had learned was being taken out from under me. Come to find out later on in my mission, it wasn't being taken out from under me, but being reconstructed to something bigger than I thought I was building originally.

I feel that is what life is looking like for me. I am just working on what I feel like is the right thing and I am hoping God is going to steer me when necessary.
