Be where your feet are...

A couple weeks ago I spent a night watching several "I'm a mormon" videos (Visit "here" to see the website). One phrase particularly stood out to me. She said "Be where your feet are." I have repeated it to myself over the last few weeks and I am living by this motto. It essentially means that you don't need to worry about the past or even worry about the future... be where your feet are... in this current moment.

I must admit I am guilty when it comes to planning every second of the month(s) and evaluate the last month(s). However, I have changed my outlook on life. It is no secret about the amount of stress I have been under. Between nursing school and having class 4 days a week and working the other 3 AND planning the wedding, It gets stressful... but now is the time to embrace it!

 I have come to really enjoy life as an engaged couple. Michael and I have so much fun together and I am amazed at how much he can accomplish in one day! He is my constant companion and keeps me strong! He is my foundation towards a happy life!

I am eternally grateful for my family - especially my mother - who continually plans, coordinates, invites, designs and take on any other details for the wedding, school, and anything I need help with. She is the woman I want to become.

I seriously have the best nursing class in the history of the world. The camaraderie characteristics each classmate has is remarkable! Everybody looks out for each other and every student is there for each other at any moment. They post notes, hold countless hours of study groups into the endless hours of the night, and they always do it with a smile. They are all so smart and I am so blessed to be in this class!

I have come to love being engaged. I am enjoying this new chapter in my life. I still get butterflies being with Mike and I love being able to call him my fiance'. I would not wish it to go by any faster, (definitely not any slower) but I am enjoying life's simple moments.

 I love Michael, I love my family, I love being a nursing student... and.... I am where my feet are!

    Thank you for this post, Sarah! Sometimes I get sooo caught up in wedding planning myself that I just say to myself "I can't wait until I'm married!" To get though finals, and work, and living with roommates... But this helped me to remember to really enjoy where I am right NOW and enjoy the moments that I'm living in currently. Being engaged isn't something to rush through, and it really is something that I need to enjoy, and to "Be where my feet are." So thank you for sharing this!

December 25

December 25 is a much awaited day that holds many meanings: Presents, family, twinkling house lights,  snow, work parties, crowded shopping centers, decorating the tree, and much more. This year I had no idea just how much of a meaning it would have for me... December 25, 2011 changed my life forever. You see, this is the day Michael William Hunt proposed. <3 The morning of December 25, 2011 I woke up and knew it was going to be a great day. I had to work for four hours at the hospital and then my brother Stanton, Mike, and myself would drive four hours to Springville to spend Christmas with the family. This day was already special to me because I got to share an important holiday with a man straight out of a fairy tale, (Mike) with my family. Anybody who knows me can testify that family is the most important thing in my life.  So it is apparent this holiday was complete having the man of my dreams be with my family. We got to Springville and had our traditional fam...

The firsts of many firsts

With the new year well on it's way, drastic changes and eventful/lenthy days did not wait long to present themselves to Mike and me. Among this, "new leaf" so-to-speak are a few of our firsts. Sarah&Mike: 1. First time Michael and Sarah did baptisms for the dead at the St. George temple together. 2. First foreign roommate for Sarah. Her name is Inna and she is from Russia! 3. First college experience for Mike. He is officially a college student. :) 4. First time Sarah is taking 20 credits in college (wouldn't recommend it- especially while in the nursing program and holding down a job). 5. First time Sarah applied for gradutaion- which she will be graduating this spring with her Associate Degree! Yeeeeah Buddy! 6. First time Mike and Sarah are taking an institute class together for engaged and newlywed couples. It is titled  "Building and Eternal Marriage." This year is definitely OUR YEAR! I was talking with my sister on the phone yesterday we...

Honeymoon-ing!

I have been really excited to write this post! It's about the destination of our honeymoon! Some of you knew and some of you didn't.... but I sure didn't know where we were going for our honeymoon! Michael planned it all and kept it a surprise for me!  So picking up where my last blog left off, we drove away from our reception as the sun was setting. I didn't even know where Mike was taking me! It's quite an exciting adventure to get in a car with your new husband and have no idea where you are going! Plus it was an added treat to have everybody smile and wave at our decorated car and my fluffy dress occupying the passenger seat on our way. ;)  We got onto the northbound entrance as Michael told me we were going to Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake City! I was really excited to actually stay in the city and stay at Anniversary Inn. My parents and siblings have stayed there before and it was somewhere I have always wanted to spend the night. It was perfect for...
