Another New Chapter

It was one year ago that my life changed in an instant. Those words I heard still linger in the back of my mind. I can remember the day, the place, the time. You would think that 265 days would make a difference in how you relive that life changing moment, but it doesn't. So many things have happened within the last year that it feels like a whirlwind of events.

I was driving to the lake this weekend and had to ask myself, "Is this all just a horrible dream? When will I wake up and things will be normal again." But it isn't a dream. This is life. There's no point in living in the past. Only utilizing past experiences to become stronger and to make better decisions.

I have always believed that things happen in life for a reason. The people you meet, the jobs you have. Together they make the dash between your birth and death date on your tombstone. I left the SO in search for something more fitting to what my degree is in. I began that search a year ago and landed a new job with new responsibilities and opportunities to improve my communication skills along with learning new tasks. It was a privilege to work for Medi-Sota and Rural Health Alliance and I am so grateful for the experiences I've had with them.

However, I am excited to start another new chapter with a new job, new house, and a new lease on life. New rules to live by and on my own.

In a previous post I talked about closing windows and opening doors. This is one of those moments of closing one door and opening another door and window. So far the view is pretty great.

I hope you continue to follow me on my journey of Lasting Impressions.

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...

Where have I been?!?

It's almost June...where has the time gone? I honestly, and I know I say this every single time that I'm absent from blogging, but where has the time gone? So so so much has happened since my last post. As in, I freakin' graduated college! For the second time! With honors! I successfully completed student teaching in May. It was a whirl wind. But I almost forgot the most important piece of all this...and no it isn't a job..I'll get to that part later. I passed EdTPA!!! I'm only the 2nd person to pass it from the HPE department at MSUM. Another girl from my class also passed. She had submitted hers before me so technically she passed first. The EdTPA is one of those things that seemed like an overwhelming task, and really doesn't determine whether you are a good teacher or not. Regardless, I passed, and didn't have to submit any remediation back to MSUM. It was a HUGE relief. Right before I switched from my high school student teaching placement a PE ...

Juice Cleanse

As promised, here is my blog post on how my 1-day juice cleanse went. I know, it's a little late, but my school schedule has been crazy...and it was Grape Stomp this past weekend. To say I'm a little exhausted is an understatement. But regardless, I'm back at it, tackling another week, and doing another cleanse as we speak. As a disclaimer, I did this cleanse on my own and was not compensated for doing the cleanse. I am not being compensated for my review of the cleanse. The reason I wanted to do the cleanse was for one, just to try it out. My other reason was the fact that I've been stuck at the same number on the scale for almost a year. It hasn't changed at all, regardless of all my changes. Even with my exercise this summer, it hasn't fluctuated much. I also wanted to see if by doing a cleanse would help reduce some of my headaches. Lately, they have been getting out of control again. I had read a little bit on how to prepare for the cleanse by eating mo...
