Due to a promotion I got at Dixie State College to go from being an adjunct instructor to a part-time professor, I am now able to begin my Ph D at UNLV!!! I am so excited about it I can hardly sleep at night! Of course, it is going to be a big commitment and a little pricey, plus, I'll have to commute to Vegas once a week, but I'm still super excited. It has always been my dream to get my Doctorate degree so I can someday teach as a full-time English professor, though I never thought I'd be doing it this early.
I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've been given to work in a career I love and really push myself academically. Many of you know that I've been hoping to be a mom for several years now, but since I've been diagnosed with endometriosis and fertility treatments haven't worked out, I've decided to push myself in other ways and find out what Heavenly Father wants me to do with my life right now. Though we still have a lot of fertility treatments to try and there is plenty of hope, I know that it might be a while. Lucky for me, Heavenly Father has opened up one opportunity after another for me to better myself in other ways. I'm so grateful!
Wish me luck in my school work at this big university with the literature Big Wigs!

Congrats Amanda! I couldn't be more excited for you. I think you are right - sometimes we don't know what is in store for us. My sister went also had fertility problems for many years. But it has all worked out now and she is a happy Mom. We just all have our own route and timing! I am so proud of you for keeping your head up and moving forward. GO GET EM!

Wow!! I can't believe it! That's so incredible. So will you still be teaching at Dixie while getting your phd? Good luck with it all! And I think Heavenly Father must be pretty proud of you for doing what you think is right, even when it's hard to have faith in a plan he has set up for you, that you can't see clearly. Love you!
I'm happy to hear that you're doing well. UNLV sounds really scary to me, but I know you'll do awesome. The pictures of you house are also super cute, how fun! Good luck in all you do, and most of all Keep Smiling!
