My life has been so busy lately that I've been neglecting the things that are important. I currently have 5 calling in my ward (6 if you count my opportunity to go to girls camp in two weeks). The biggest thing right now is the multi-regional choir that I've been asked to lead. The choir is going to be singing for a summit of Young Single Adults on the western side of the Salt Lake Valley. It's quite intense, but I'm hoping that it will all work out and that we'll get people there to sing. I also teach Gospel Principles, I'm the Branch Choir Director, I'm the Relief Society Pianst and a visiting teacher. Sometimes I think I get so involved in my callings that I really don't have the time to remember why I'm at church and what I'm supposed to be feeling. The Regional choir will be done at the end of June and so will I.
With my my job, it was the first week of the summer semester and I'm exhausted. When I clocked in this morning, I had already worked 32 hours for the week. The overtime will be nice, but so would the sleep. I do love my job in the admissions office, but somedays are just overwhelming. I also had my student employee budget cut so I have one student employee that can only work 20 hours a week. I did, though, get the go ahead from my boss yesterday that I can start looking for new employees. They will definitely be an added benefit to me and my sanity.
I'm also trying to maintain a social life, which hasn't been easy. I do things quite often with friends, but it's usually at the expense of sleep. This weekend, I'm having something at my house Friday night and then Saturday night, a big group of us are going bowling and getting Asphalt Pie from Wingers. I have good friends that are patient with me. I'm grateful for them.
I do have a good life and I'm truly grateful for what I have. I just hope that I can always keep a good perspective on what's going on around me. Thanks to all of you that help me keep that perspective and help me keep moving when I don't think I can move anymore.

Dawn your such an amazing person, even when your having a bad or overwhelming day you always seem so happy. I'm glad I have you as a friend
Keep going girl! Who needs sleep anyway? :) :)
I'm impressed that you are working with student employees int he admissions office. How are things at LDSBC these days? I don't miss working full time, but I sure miss the people I used to work with.
I hope you're having fun this week!!! Good luck on Sunday! I'll be cheering for you!
